Interim UFC heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall offered his perspective on why undisputed champion Jon Jones seems hesitant to face him in the octagon.
In a recent interview with Johnson, Aspinall shared his thoughts: “I`m not entirely sure I should discuss financial aspects on camera. To be honest, I genuinely believe I represent a tough challenge for him, and I think he recognizes that. While I understand Jones`s viewpoint regarding his career path, my primary focus is singular: the title. I want that belt, and that is absolutely all that matters to me. Nothing else takes precedence. My sole ambition is to prove beyond doubt that I am the best heavyweight competitor.”
Recall that Aspinall has been sidelined from competition since July of last year, which is when he achieved a knockout victory over Curtis Blaydes.
