Tom Aspinall shares a surprising response to Jones's planned returns of the White House
During a recent performance on the Ariel Helwani show, Aspinall Fighting Jones seemed to fire in the White House.
“It's just boring, it's just that boring,” Aspinall said about the planned comeback from Jones. “It spent 0 seconds in my thoughts. I am not interested and the world should not be interested either, because what is the point? It is false hope.
“I don't care, but I don't really interest it. It should be a cool experience, but I feel that the Americans should get the chance of the White House. I am not an American, Trump and the political attitude in America does not bother me at all.
“I am not a big Trump supporter or against him, I know nothing about American politics,” Aspinall went on. “Not American, don't live there, do nothing but paying taxes and fighting there. So all that stuff is just not relevant to me.”
Jones says he is ready to fight against whom the UFC is heavyweight champion when he intends to return to the Octagon. If Gane Aspinall beats, a Jones is vs. Gane rematch probably not tempting for the recently retired star.
Aspinall has not fought anymore since he defended the interim -heavyweight title against Curtis Blaydes on UFC 304 last year. He won the interim rim by eliminating Sergei Pavlovich on UFC 295, after the withdrawal of Jones from the main event due to injury.
