Daniel Cormier does not buy the lack of desire from Jon Jones to fight as the reason for him that Tom Aspinall sniffs.
On Thursday, the UFC Heavyweight Champion insisted that a fight with the interim title holder does not 'excite' me while he was distorting himself from the matchup.
Jon Jones also seemed to be a collision with Francis Ngannou in the same interview, in which the greatest hunter of all time also suggests that he will take a break from MMA until the 'Fire' returns.
Now his bitter rival, Daniel Cormier, has shared some thoughts about the bizarre situation.

Daniel Cormier explains why Jon Jones Tom Aspinall dives
The former double weight champion, who lost twice against Peak Jones, believes that his old rival is at a point in his career where he sees no route to victory against the hard -handed Englishman.
“There has never been such a person,” Cormier was full.
“Let me tell me why it was never anyone like Aspinall, because of the way the rules have changed. If this was Jones at the age of 28, no worries for him, and Aspinall would not be the biggest threat to him.
“The reason that Aspinall is the biggest threat to him today is because Jones is 38 years old. Because he lived a life of excess, party, life, all those things did in the day.
“Aspinall is the biggest threat today because the roles are reversed. At the age of 28, Jon Tom would have seen a million times and already fought him.
“But Jon, at the age of 38, acknowledges that this guy is a little better. He is not afraid. He just doesn't want to be eliminated. Jon Jones lets his legacy remain preferred as with the warning that he was not fighting Tom Aspinall, the risk of fighting Tom Aspinall and beating Tom Aspinall.
“That is where the difference lies. That is where the care comes from. That's why we see a man say:” This man doesn't really fascinate me “while it is actually exciting. But it is also very scary.”
Dana White Sets Fight Deadline
UFC CEO Dana White has been held on Jon Jones in the Tom Aspinall Saga.
However, it now seems that even he loses patience with the biggest star on his selection.
White recently established a final deadline for Jones vs Aspinall after months of negotiations.
“We will see how this thing is going on in the coming weeks. If we can't do this fight, we will soon continue. We will have the answers in the coming weeks,” De Mma Mogul told Jim Rome.
“Jon Jones has been an interesting person to deal with since the day he arrived here. But I will say this about him: I would not be here to call him the goat if Jon Jones did not want to fight people.
“He never said:” I don't like this fight for me, I don't want to fight this guy. “
