Morning Report: Tom Aspinall believes Jon Jones ‘secretly’ wants to fight: ‘He hates the fact, that people are saying I can beat him’

Tom Aspinall thinks Jon Jones is playing hard to get.

This past weekend, Jones successfully defended his heavyweight title with a third-round stoppage of Stipe Miocic at UFC 309. The win should set up a title unification bout between Jones and Aspinall, but for the fact that Jones stated outright that he’s not interested in the matchup. Instead, Jones’s future is unclear at the moment, but if the fight does eventually take place, Aspinall has words of warning for Jones.
