Tom Aspinall was impressed with Jon Jones at UFC 309.
Aspinall, the interim UFC heavyweight champion, sat octagon-side at Madison Square Garden for Jones’ heavyweight title defense against former two-time champ Stipe Miocic. Jones was dominant from the opening bell, nearly finishing Miocic in the first round, but the Cleveland native was able to survive to the horn.
Jones remained patient, yet dominant, until he landed the fight-ending spinning back kick to the body of Miocic to end the fight to remain heavyweight champion.
