Vitor Belfort doesn’t want to see Jon Jones put his legacy at risk against Tom Aspinall.
For more than a year, fans have been chomping at the bit to see Jones, the undisputed UFC heavyweight champion, face Aspinall, the interim heavyweight titleholder, in a unification clash. Traditionally, that’s exactly what would happen when you have two titleholders in a single division. Unfortunately, the fight has not yet happened, nor has it even been announced.
Much of that appears to have to do with Jon Jones continuously dragging his feet, lobbying for a fight with Alex Pereira before telling the world that he’d want at least six months to train for a showdown with the Brit.
