Every time Tom Aspinall gives an interview, Jon Jones’ name comes to the foreand during his time on Ariel Helwani’s program he was not going to be any less. He interim heavyweight champion of the UFC did not want to compare himself with the undisputed champion, but he once again emphasized that wants to fight with him in case I win Stipe Miocic at UFC 309 on November 17, where English will be present. In fact, he already said that he would hit both of them in the same night.
“I don’t want to win as many championships as him. I just want to be the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world,” he began by saying in the same vein as his last statements, where the only thing he asks is that They allow him to fight against whoever wins. It should be remembered that he had to defend his interim belt, and Jon Jones -current champion- He hasn’t fought for a year and a half.
I want to make as much money as I can in the shortest time possible.

This answer is because ‘Bones’ said a few days ago that Aspinall would never defend the belt so many times like him, which the Englishman did not hesitate to corroborate. “I want to make as much money as I can in the shortest time possible and that’s it,” he sentenced. Jones was for a decade defending his light heavyweight belt against various legends of the company, and then made the jump to heavyweight. Tom’s roadmap It doesn’t go through there.
Message for Ngannou, and for his next rival
In this interview, Aspinall also had time to respond to Francis Ngannou’s statements in which he claimed to remain the best heavyweight in the world. The former UFC champion left for PFL and this weekend he will try to snatch Renan Ferreira the company belt. “The guy he’s going to fight fought a friend of mine… and my friend destroyed it in a minute or two,” Aspinall stated in this regard.
It’s hard to say Ngannou is the best heavyweight in the world when he’s not fighting elite guys.

For this same reason, the interim champion of the UFC does not consider within the equation of the best in the African category, since He’s not fighting the best. to prove it. “The elite boys They are not in PFL. It’s hard to say that Ngannou is the best heavyweight in the world when He’s not fighting elite guys. at this moment,” he said. If there is a possible return of Francis to the most important MMA company in the world, a fight against Aspinall would be a success media.
