Earlier this week, UFC president issued a limit to respond to the audience about the match information between Jon Jones and Tom Aspinall in the next two weeks.
UFC operators have clearly set the “2 weeks” time limit to know whether this competition will take place or not. However, the recent answers of the heavy champion Jon Jones did not bring such positive signals.
“I am a company of the company, there is a lot of things happening behind the scenes, where my job is to sit there and wait for the ruling. The UFC's job is to do the right things for the company. I can easily say that” I'm not playing anymore “. My job is now relaxing, that's what I am doing.”
“I like to become a great joke. At this time, I like to enjoy the sweet fruit from the hard working days. Aspinall is just not in the position that makes me interested, that's the truth.
“Do you miss the fan of Rampage (Jackson) many years ago, then Lyoto fans (Machida). I have played this game over and over again.”
“I don't want to say that I have retired because of my blood desire to fight in my blood. Now, I just don't care about it. I did it all my life, in the highest level and when the craving came back – I would do it with my heart. I will do my best.“
Thus, the audience is somewhat clearly happening at the present, UFC must solve Jon Jones's interesting problem.
In terms of title and achievements, Jon Jones is not inferior to any fighter in the tournament history. The youngest champion in history, winning the title of two weight classes, the winning series in the top 10 of the tournament, protecting the belt over many periods. We can understand that what Jon Jones really needs now is just a large enough money for him to have a reason to return to the arena.
