Fans are frustrated with the delay in the Jon Jones vs. Tom Aspinall heavyweight title unification fight, as Jones’s recent comments suggest indifference towards the situation.
People are getting tired of waiting on Jon Jones. Seriously, it’s becoming a saga.
One of the biggest stories in MMA over the past year has been the potential Jon Jones vs. Tom Aspinall heavyweight title unification fight. Sounds epic, right? Unfortunately, that fight doesn’t seem any closer to happening. Frustrating for Aspinall, who’s now the longest reigning interim champ in UFC history. Fans? They’re getting restless too.
On Monday morning, Jones stirred the pot again. He jumped on Twitter, responding to fans about his controversial title reign. He claimed he’d already told the UFC his plans “a long time ago.” And get this—he said he wouldn’t care if they stripped him of the title. Bold move, Jon.
Unsurprisingly, fans weren’t thrilled. They just want to see the heavyweight champ face off against the interim champ. Is that too much to ask?
Check out how fans reacted to Jones’s latest comments. Spoiler: They’re not happy.
