Tom Aspinall once gave a befitting reply to Jon Jones after Jones claimed that Aspinall had not done anything in his MMA career yet. The Englishman and Bones have been feuding outside the octagon for quite some time, fueling anticipation for their eventual heavyweight clash. Despite their frequent public spats, the UFC has yet to officially book their showdown.

However, UFC CEO Dana White has hinted that the two may soon square off, though nothing is set in stone yet. Amidst all this, let’s take a look at the time when Jones attempted to take a dig at Aspinall, only for the latter to fire back with a solid response.

Tom Aspinall’s perfect comeback to Jon Jones’ bold statement

It all started when Jon Jones made a dismissive comment about Tom Aspinall, questioning his credentials in the UFC.

Jones stated, "I feel like Tom Aspinall, I don’t wanna say nobody but he hasn’t proven anything, he hasn’t done anything."

 

 

Aspinall, however, was quick to counter Jones’ claim in a way that left no room for doubt. In November last year, he shared a video on his Instagram, splitting it into two parts. The first half featured Jones’ statement, while the second half showcased Aspinall’s most remarkable UFC achievements.

In the clip, Aspinall highlighted some staggering statistics that undeniably proved his worth in the heavyweight division. He showcased his record for the "All-time UFC Shortest Average Fight Time," which stands at an impressive 2 minutes and 2 seconds. Furthermore, he pointed out that since 2020, he has accumulated eight finishes, ranking second only to Kevin Holland, who had nine. Another noteworthy accomplishment included his dominance in knockout efficiency, with an astounding 4.09 KOs per 15 minutes among active UFC fighters.

Aspinall’s response not only countered Jon Jones’ claim but also served as a testament to his rising dominance in the division. His quick finishes, knockout prowess, and consistency inside the cage make him a legitimate contender in the heavyweight landscape.

While the verbal exchanges between the two continue to keep fans engaged, the real battle inside the octagon remains in limbo. With Dana White’s recent statements, the MMA community eagerly awaits official confirmation of what could be one of the most anticipated heavyweight fights in UFC history. Until then, the war of words between Jon Jones and Tom Aspinall adds even more intrigue to this potential blockbuster showdown.
