Tom Aspinall is fed up and is done with Jon Jones ducking him. The interim heavyweight champion has been patiently waiting for his opportunity to have a unification battle with ‘Bones’ but the latter just does not seem to budge. Even though Dana White, has hinted that one of the biggest fights of 2025 might be Jones versus Aspinall, the best pound-for-pound is more interested in fighting Alex Pereria.

On top of that ‘Bones’ has already defended his title and won at UFC 309 last month. Back after the first time after a submission over Ciryl Gane, he won against Stipe Miocic in spectacular fashion. Following his UFC 309 win he was asked by Joe Rogan if the interim heavyweight champion could be the next opponent. Unfortunately 37-year-old did not give a specific answer. Speaking in a recent interview with YouTuber Alex Gonzalez,Bonesrestated his comments about facing the interim champion. If the UFC wants to push the fight, they’re going to have to make sure Jon Jones gets paid a hefty amount.

On the other hand, since the heavyweight phenom isduckingAspinall, the Brit decided to brutally troll him this holiday season. This time though, the call out was hilarious rather than stoic, and Tom Aspinall painstakingly took up the role of a photo editor for the same. In a hilarious post,Honey Badger’ uploaded a picture of a roasted duck and photoshopped Jones’s head on top of the duck. He captioned the post saying “Christmas dinner is served.”

He’s annoying to me. He’s annoying to me… The duck and chicken thing is kind of funny.”

The callouts did not end here because Aspinall replied to a recent post by UFC. The promotion had shared a post on YouTube of an edited picture of a face-off between the duo. This time it was not the heavyweight champion’s arm that was edited but it was his height. When the Brit came across the post he was surprised and wondered what kind of substance Jones took to get taller than him. This was a dig at Jones for his recurring problems with banned substances. Tom Aspinall shared a comment, which resurfaced on Reddit. He was seen wondering,What’s Jon been taking to get so tall?”
