Tom Aspinall made headlines last week with his change in tone toward UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones.
The usually respectful UFC interim heavyweight champ took to social media to criticize Jones and his expected title defense against Stipe Miocic in November. Aspinall (15-3 MMA, 8-1 UFC), who had been somewhat reserved in expressing his interest in fighting Jones (27-1 MMA, 21-1 UFC), turned things up a notch with creative skits and strong comments directed at the living legend.
How is Aspinall coming off with this new approach? Will it work in landing a much-desired championship fight against Jones?
MMA Junkie’s Matt Wells, Nolan King, Mike Bohn, and host “Gorgeous” George discuss Aspinall’s recent comments and the talk it’s generated in the MMA community.
