UFC champion Jones would be ‘too smart’ for Aspinall

If Jon Jones and Tom Aspinall met in the UFC, Henry Cejudo, the former champion, claims that.

Should the American choose to stop MMA, Briton Aspinall, the interim heavyweight champion, will face Jones in a unification fight following that bout.

Jones, 37, has not lost since 2009 and Cejudo gives Manchester’s Aspinall little chance against the champion.

“I watched a little bit of Tom Aspinall. He’s got lateral movements – really, really good. But Jones is just too smart”, Cejudo said on the Pound 4 Pound podcast.

“Jones just needs to press him, stay in the middle, don’t react, find his wrestling. I think it will be easy money]for Jones]”.

Jones is considered by many MMA fans, including White, to be the greatest ever MMA fighter.

Joe Rogan, a UFC commentator and podcast host, stoked the rumors this week by suggesting that Jones was asking for $ 30 million to fight Aspinall before retracting that claim the following day.
