The MMA trainer added that he believes Jones sees his son as a real threat to his throne.
He explained: “I don't think Jon knows if he wants the fight or not. I think he wants the fight to beat Tom, but he also doesn't want to take that risk because he might lose.
“He's not afraid to fight anyone, I'm sure, but I don't think he wants to lose his undefeated record. I'm sure at this point he doesn't know if he's going to do it, and it will depend on the amount of money they offer.
