UFC Heavyweight Champion Jones continues to think about uniting the heavyweight belts in a confrontation with Tom Aspinall.

Jones did not take long to reverse the course on that statement, which makes fan fears facilitated for a UFC pension in a follow-up social media post. Afterwards Aspinall shared images of him who sustained his training camp work, which means that the excitement of the fan is housed behind the possible Jones -Matchup.
But hours later, Jones renewed the fears for the Aspinall fight that did not flourish.
