Editor’s note: Post contains new series of Jones posts on X after hours of silence.
Tom Aspinall’s patience is running thin, and UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones is getting tired of his callouts.
Aspinall, the current interim heavyweight champ, wants to unify his belt with Jones, but he’ll have to wait a while. Jones is currently recovering from a torn pectoralis tendon, as well as a procedure he just underwent on his elbow.
But Jones (27-1 MMA, 21-1 UFC) won’t be facing Aspinall (14-3 MMA, 7-1 UFC) upon his return. Instead, the UFC intends on rebooking Jones vs. Stipe Miocic, with both men on board, as well. And that has Aspinall frustrated.
Aspinall repeatedly has expressed his discontent, and Jones, tired of hearing it, has reached a boiling point. Check out their exchanges below.
Jones mocks Aspinall's callouts
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. 😒

Jones questions Aspinall's resume
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

Aspinall responds
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? https://t.co/jCo4Obz9pY

Jones reminds everyone of his accolades
It’s a wild world we live in! People can be so quick to try to replace you, throw you away, discredit your work. That’s the best thing about them stats or just being able to see the fruits of your labor. Be an absolute savage at what you do, at whatever capacity that may be. Let…

Aspinall accuses Jones and Miocic of ducking him
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: “🤔— Tom Aspinall (@AspinallMMA) January 9, 2024

Hours go by, Jones keeps going
I love how a fighter can do an interview about me every week, make silly memes on the Internet. And then, when I respond, they play the victim role. Lol

Jones gets nasty, mocks Aspinall's 'imaginary championship'
Tom, you talking about someone’s ego running wild is one of the most hypocritical things ever., You literally haven’t kept my balls out of your mouth since you won that imaginary championship. Both you and Serge have zero championships between your name. It’s funny that you…

Jones says 'unfinished business' with Miocic
My stipe fight was booked well before yours came along, you weren’t even the back up fighter.. Trust me you’re the one who is coming around here with the inflated ego and entitlement. That intern championship means absolutely nothing if you seriously haven’t noticed yet. All your…

'What a chicken'
Yep, I’m terrified. No matter who would’ve won that interim, championship, the narrative still would be the same. The goat is getting older now, and is running from fights. 36-year-old lifelong champion starting to contemplate retirement. What a chicken. https://t.co/yCc6YNG2QM

'I came, I saw, and I conquered'
What I refuse to do is be like a lot of these other fighters who stuck around too long. That just won’t happen. Your boy Bones Jones over here, despite what a lot of people may like to think. Ive set myself up pretty well in life. I want Stipe for my résumé, outside of that, I…
