Ahead of his UFC 309 title fight, Jon Jones has refused to carry out media obligations with the British branch of TNT Sports – claiming the sit down would just be an “(Tom) Aspinall fest” of questions posed to him.
Jones, a former undisputed light heavyweight champion twice under the banner of the UFC, will make his comeback this weekend at Madison Square Garden, defending his heavyweight throne in a main event clash against the former champion, Stipe Miocic.
Out of action since March of last year, Jones most recently landed the vacant heavyweight crown with an impressive first round win over Ciryl Gane – submitting the Frenchman with a stunning guillotine choke submission win.
