Tom Aspinall is continuing his fight for the undisputed UFC heavyweight title by posting a link to a petition on Instagram urging Jon Jones to lose his title.

Aspinall, 32, has been the interim heavyweight champion for 18 months and has since lost to Jones due to an injury, with the 37-year-old facing Stipe Miocic.

Aspinall has stated on numerous occasions that he is unsure whether he will fight Jones next, even six months later.

More than 150, 000 UFC fans have signed a petition to have Jones’ title removed, a frustration that many UFC fans have expressed.

Jones has kept his cards close to his chest regarding his future after speaking from Thailand this week.

On DeepCut with VicBlends, Jones said, “I don’t know what life holds for fighting and competing.”

“The UFC is still experiencing a lot of great competition. Being in my position, I believe I have a lot more options than many other fighters in terms of leaving and returning and things like that.

Jones enjoys making fun of people on social media, and he claimed last week that he had already revealed his plans to the UFC and that he was unsure why they hadn’t.

The American made the flimsy assumption that he was retired before feigning to resurrect his UFC stance.

Jones has a record of 28 wins, one loss, and one no-contest victories, making him widely regarded as one of, if not the best, MMA fighter of all time.

He won the company’s longest unbeaten streak in 20 UFC fights in a row and became the youngest UFC champion at age 23. He also holds the title of two-weight champion.

It’s probably not even healthy for me because I’m so tied to winning, Jones said.

“I see fighters who win,” smile, hug their wives, and wish them good fortune the next time.
