- UFC. Tom Aspinall challenges Dana White and Jon Jones: We're coming for you
- UFC. Jon Jones' reaction to Tom Aspinall's hand on his shoulder on their first face-to-face
UFC interim Heavyweijght champion Tom Aspinall has found a perfect victim for his comedy skits and his call outs as a professional MMA athlete. For the longest time, Aspinall has stated he feels a little left out of the conversation to be the best heavyweight out there while Dana White keeps saying Jon Jones is the best ever. The reality is that Jones cannot fight right now because he is injured and there is no guarantee he will return to his best shape by the time he gets to fight against Stipe Miocic. Meanwhile, Aspinall is doing everything he can to troll Jones in a respectful manner but with a very dry British humor. And so far, he has been doing a brilliant job at that. Aspinall's latest video calling out Jones is the perfect example of this.
Tom Aspinall's message to Jon Jones, or Stipe Miocic
The humor in Tom Aspinall's message to Jones is very simple, he seems to be addressing only Jones at the beginning but he then includes Stipe Miocic in his challenge. A diss to Jon Jones that the GOAT might not appreciate. Here's what Tom said through his Youtube channel: "Jon Jones, I know you've got your fight coming up. Apparently it's in November, against Stipe Miocic. Nothing has been announced or signed yet, as far as I'm aware, but if that does happen, I'll be there, I'll be ready to jump in with either of you guys for the undisputed title if one of you is going to pull out. But if you successfully defend against Stipe in November, I will be there in the crowd, I'll be there front row. I want you to hand me the undisputed title as you walk past me please. Thank you."
Alex Pereira also lurks in the background
What ever happens in this division by the end of the year, there is another star who has been teasing going up to Heavyweight because he already walks around at 230 pounds on the average. We are talking about Alex Pereira, who just agreed to fight again to defend his Light Heavyweight title but is looking hungrier than ever. Alex is already a two-division champion and he is more than happy to try his luck at getting a Heavyweight title fight. But before that happens, first he needs to fight a high-ranking heavyweight and see how he fares against one of them. Getting an instant title shot simply doesn't sound fair.
