Tom Aspinall Calls for Jon Jones to Be Stripped of UFC Heavyweight Title amid Injury

UFC interim heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall believes that Jon Jones should be stripped of the weight class' belt as he recovers from a torn pectoral tendon.

Aspinall made his remarks in an interview with ex-MMA fighter and current analyst and commentator Michael Bisping:

"I think Jon Jones should be stripped from the title to be honest, because everyone else does when they get injured like that," Aspinall said (h/t Danny Segura of MMA Junkie). "I don't see why he's still got it. I don't understand that. I think I should be the real champion right now.
