Long-lost rivals Jon Jones and Daniel Cormier have somewhat reunited as they were recently found throwing virtual jabs at each other.
Jon Jones indecisiveness for the Tom Aspinall fight has become a highly debatable topic in the MMA community. Fans and MMA experts can't comprehend what’s so difficult about agreeing to fight Tom.
Daniel Cormier recently highlighted how he would have already fought Tom Aspinall if he was in Jones’ shoes.
Although, it’s worth emphasizing how Jon Jones expressed strong readiness to face contenders like Alex Pereira and recently Francis Ngannou. It seems like the heavyweight champion only wants fights that are meaningful for his legacy.
According to Dana White, the UFC heavyweight champion agreed to the terms of the potential fight but clearly expressed how he can’t be dragged into the equation if he’s not willing to fight.
In such a case, the audience wants Jon Jones to vacate his belt to show the heavyweight division can function smoothly again.
Daniel Cormier Expresses Frustration
In a recent podcast episode, Daniel Cormier fired at the current UFC heavyweight champion for not fighting Tom Aspinall.
“You’re talking about me, Francis, Chael, and almost ignoring the right thing. If I was still fighting today, and I was still the heavyweight champion and Tom Aspinall was the #1 contender, I would’ve already fought him. 1000%”.
