believes Jon Jones should be stripped of his title as the undisputed UFC heavyweight champion.
Stepping into the co-main event at UFC 295, Aspinall scored a vicious 69-second knockout against Sergei Pavlovich to capture claim the interim heavyweight title. The bout was slapped together on two weeks’ notice after Jones was forced to withdraw from his originally scheduled clash with Stipe Miocic after suffering a pectoral injury whilst training.
Given the nature of Jones’ injury and the amount of time he is expected to be shelved, Aspinall believes the UFC should have stripped ‘Bones’ of the belt, just as they have done with other champions who had been sidelined for an extended period.
