The UFC heavyweight division is reaching its boiling point as Tom Aspinall’s frustration mounts while waiting for his turn to fight the legendary UFC fighter Jon Jones. With a heavyweight title around his waist, Aspinall has accused Jones of being the primary reason for delaying what could be one of the biggest fights in the history of the UFC. While neither of the fighters has stepped inside the octagon for a while, Aspinall is eager to settle a deal for their UFC heavyweight union bout.

Recently, Aspinall displayed his growing frustration regarding his desire to compete against the legendary Jon Jones. Despite the UFC's strong approval for the fight, the Brit stated that the reason for the delay is Jones himself, as the UFC legend has not taken up the challenge and continues to enjoy leisure time on his latest Columbus stroll. This frustration surfaced when Jones posted a picture with the action legend, Arnold Schwarzenegger. The star-struck moment of Jones with one of the biggest starts around the globe created a massive buzz online.


Aspinall, being a witness to Jones’ lack of consideration for the fight, dwelled on the topic on his YouTube channel: he stated, “Where we’re at right now is, I have spoken to the UFC on multiple occasions on this fight. I’m chasing it. I want the fight. I’ve been on record and said that I want the fight. I’ve been on the phone with the UFC saying, ‘I want the fight. When’s it happening?’ I want the fight more than anyone.”
