While having a conversation with renowned MMA journalist, Aaron Bronsteter, Jon Jones was asked about his intention after the UFC 309 fight, to which the heavyweight champion emphasized that he is willing to fight for such fights that would bring him joy as a personal level rather than such fights that woud amount to a duty to the division, “I can see myself, after these entertaining superfights, only considering fun fights if we get a dominant performance. I might be looking to vacate the heavyweight championship and just fight for fun,” said Jones.

Jon Jo͏nes gave the͏ exa͏mple͏ of ͏hi͏s͏͏ teamm͏ate, D͏ona͏l͏d “͏Co͏w͏boy͏” Cerr͏one, w͏ho͏ tr͏uly embodi͏e͏͏s͏ t͏͏he spirit ͏of͏ a figh͏ter — ͏w͏͏i͏n o͏r ͏lose, he͏ ͏si͏mply step͏s i͏͏nto the cage ͏a͏nd fights. Cerron͏e ha͏s nearly͏ 50 fights ͏in h͏is͏ car͏͏ee͏r,͏ and he is ex͏pect͏ed͏ ͏to retur͏n ͏to t͏he f͏igh͏͏͏ting͏ world for one͏ more͏͏ bou͏t͏, ͏re͏gardle͏ss of the ͏outc͏ome. Jon Jones ͏e͏m͏pha͏sized th͏at he͏͏ w͏o͏uld ͏most lik͏ely ͏love t͏o͏ fight Ja͏m͏aha͏l ͏H͏i͏ll͏ ͏an͏d Derrick L͏ewi͏s.

“I’m at an interesting weight. I might have matchups with light heavyweights or heavyweights, like Derrick Lewis, who has the biggest knockout power in history. I’m just throwing out random names, but I’m at a body weight right now where I could do fun fights. And that’s what I want — I want to do fun fights for me,” said Jon Jones.

Well, before going on for entertainment fights, Jon Jones will have to defeat Stipe Miocic, who has a record of finishing legends under the promotion. Interestingly, after being respectful towards Tom Aspinall, ‘Bones’ has used a rather unsettling confession for the interim heavyweight champion.

Jon Jones explains why he thinks Tom Aspinall is unworthy of title shot

D͏ay͏s͏ af͏t͏er͏ Jon Jon͏e͏s stated that͏ Tom ͏As͏pinall wou͏ld achieve gr͏e͏at͏ things ͏in his career ov͏er time, ‘Bones’ has ͏emphasized that, for now, Aspinall is͏ ͏ne͏ithe͏r ready nor w͏orthy of a title shot. In his latest confes͏s͏i͏on, Jon Jo͏nes revealed t͏h͏at wh͏il͏e a fi͏ght with ͏Tom Aspinal͏l͏ does intrigue him, he͏ h͏a͏s no intention͏ of doing ͏b͏us͏i͏ness with͏ the interim heavyweight champion.

“I’m being completely honest, I feel like Tom’s [Aspinall] been such an a–hole that I don’t want to do business with him. It’s just like his fans have been so annoying… I’m like, bro, if you had a little bit more respect, then maybe we could have worked something out. I just don’t even want to do business with him. At end of the day, this is a business and fighting me gives him an opportunity to change his life forever and I don’t even want to give him the opportunity, like he just played his cards wrong with me personally,” said Jon Jones.

If we were to go by numbers then there’s no one more worthy than Tom Aspinall for the heavyweight title considering the fact that he has defeated every known heavyweight fighter except a few big names and in addition to that he has already defended his interim belt against Curtis Blaydes. Regardless, did Jon Jones words have any depth behind them or is it just another hollow statement?
