Tom Aspinall is clearly getting frustrated with the UFC’s heavyweight division.
The UFC interim heavyweight champion has not been shy in calling out Jon Jones who is the current heavyweight champion.
And the pair clashed once again on social media. Taking to X formerly Twitter, Jones took aim at the British Heavyweight.
‘Only four recognizable opponents, and already the king of England, must be nice. There will be legendary tales told about you and your infamous call outs.’

He added…
I mean, it doesn’t really work like that. I was a champion when I was 23 years old, you can’t show up at age 30 pretending like you’ve been chasing me your whole life. I have no clue who 90% of his résumé is, meanwhile, I’ve been highlighting UFC events my entire career. https://t.co/aJdJT8UpGm

Tom Aspinall responded with class.
‘Jon you’re letting your ego run wild here mate. I’m not downplaying you’re résumé, it’s incredible. Far superior to mine. You are known as the best fighter ever, and that’s EXACTLY why I want to beat you. Surely you can understand that?’

Aspinall then made an interesting point…
Jon Jones: “you need to fight people who build your legacy”
Me: “great idea. Absolutely”
UFC: “do you wanna fight Tom?”
Stipe: “no”
Jon: “no”
Me: “🤔
