The current saga with regard to the next heavyweight title defense of Jon Jones is still one of the biggest points in sport.
Despite some positive updates to the interim champion, some have suggested that Tom Aspinall should continue of the idea of combating 'bones' in what the biggest fight of the year would be.
The best consensus of all time has been accused of diving the Brit for a few months that has shown little interest in the matchup, despite the fact that Jones has praised Aspinall in the past.
A big bottleneck in the negotiations seems to be how much money the heavyweight champion wants to take on this fight, which is not surprising, since he would put a lot at stake.
Although Aspinall would have more to win, it is not as if Jones had not yet had close fights where his reputation was somewhat damaged.

“This is all on Jon, he is the hold -up. I don't know, I don't say he is afraid because he is Jones like what he should be afraid of? I believe, although it is no fear, I think he accepts that he is older, a little slower, it is harder to cure small bultjes and bruises and that things.
