MMA Fighting’s Mike Heck and Jed Meshew discuss the escalating social media feud between Jon Jones and Tom Aspinall, including trash talk about fight dodging, past failed drug tests, and whether a UFC heavyweight title unification bout between them is likely to be scheduled by next year.
Jon Jones and Tom Aspinall have been ramping things up on social media lately. Shots are being taken on both sides.
Does that mean we’re any closer to getting this UFC heavyweight title unification bout than we were at the beginning of the year? Hard to say.
MMA Fighting’s Mike Heck and Jed Meshew dive into the week that was in the Jones vs. Aspinall rivalry. They discuss Aspinall calling Jones the “fight dodging” champion at the start of the week.
Jones’ NSFW response to those comments? Oh boy, it was something. Then there’s Aspinall throwing shade at Jones’ past failed drug tests.
Jones didn’t hold back either, saying he’d whip Aspinall’s ass in a fight. Who’s winning this beef so far? Tough call.
Dana White’s optimistic he can get the fight done. Will Jones vs. Aspinall at least be on the books by this time next year?
