Tom Aspinall Rips Jon Jones Apart for Promising Alex Pereira a Chance at 3-Division Glory – “Guy’s Playing Games”

Jon Jones had his last fight with Stipe Miocic, and now it seems like he might be back after 3 years of hiatus. This time, he has eyes on Alex Pereira. ‘Bones’ wants his next UFC bout to be with ‘Poatan’. Aspinall has been open about wanting to fight Jones, but to his dismay, Jones gives no response. However, Tom Aspinall does not believe that Jones wants to fight Pereira and recently gave his verdict on the same news. 

Tom Aspinall slams back at Jon Jones

In the latest TNT sports update, ‘Honey Badger’ talked about Jones and his choice of ‘Poatan’ rather than himself. He said, “If we can get old mate Jon Jones to ever sign a contract with my name on the other side of the contract, I’ll talk about him for hours. Right now, the guys playing games again. Tryna convinces the public of what he wants and what he doesn’t want, which he does well.” The post was also captioned, “Tom Aspinall says Jon Jones is “playing games” with his recent run of social media posts entertaining a fight with Alex Pereira 🙄.”

Jon Jones came back to training after his shoulder injury, and he is already planning to fight in the heavyweight category. Jones said that there is no bigger fight for him than a bout against Alex Pereira, who is the 205-pound champion. He appreciates the achievements of Poatan and wants to fight him. 

He also believes that he has similar fighting techniques and age as Pereira, so it makes sense. However, fans were not happy with this verdict and gave their negative opinion on it. However, Jones claimed that the UK fighter had not achieved enough to be a bigger fighter than Alex Pererira. Aspinall seems to be unhappy about this, just like the fans seem to be.

Tom Aspinall gives his verdict

Jones seems to be planning on fighting ‘Poatan’ and is reluctant to fight Aspinall. The fans were already unhappy about it, and even ‘Honey Badger’ was not satisfied with it. He has been calling out Miocic and Jones, but none of them responded to face the young heavyweight. 

Aspinall is also confident that he can beat Jones, and he has been announcing his desire to fight the heavyweight champ. He also approached Jones during a meet and greet at the Arnold Sports Festival, but Jones removed Aspinall’s hand from his shoulder while they were having a cordial conversation.

Aspinall was friendly and did not want any beef. However, Aspinall does want to talk about him. Do you think he will get the dream fight?
