“Numerous people would expect Jon Jones to be an excessive amount of for him technically, but I still don’t feel like Jones has fully grown into his heavyweight frame.
“He was lighter against Stipe Miocic than he was against Ciryl Gane. He looked in higher shape, in fact, but that shape was much closer to light-heavyweight, whereas Tom Aspinall weighed-in instead at 254 kilos, or something like that. He’s lean, fast and powerful. He’s got a well-rounded game.
“Jon Jones actually has the abilities and technical ability to beat Tom Aspinall, but especially within the heavyweight division, speed and power may be the equalizer in any fight, and I feel Tom has that in abundance.
“So, I’d lean towards Tom Aspinall. I do hope he gets the prospect, and I also hope Jon Jones gets paid his price for it. That appears to be the key sticking point.
“I saw Jake Paul weighed-in at how much he ought to be making, $50 million or something, but even when he gets half that, something that he could go away and retire on, and never feel like he’s been thrown to the wolves at the tip of his profession, I feel that might be good to all parties involved.”
