Is Jon Jones scared of Tom Aspinall's rise, or is this just another mind game?

The world of UFC is abuzz with many rumored fight cards and already-established fights coming up. In all this potpourri of news, Daniel Cormier has come up with another possible matchup. He believes that we might be edging closer to Jon Jones vs Tom Aspinall and it might come sooner than we expected. Interim heavyweight champion Aspinall has always wanted to fight the undisputed champion for the unification of the title but was not getting any response.

So he has taken another approach to try to get the champ’s attention. According to DC, this might pay off. He recently gave the reason why this might work and he spoke about it through his own experience with bones.
