Former UFC fighter and now analyst Chael Sonnen reacted to the news that Jon Jones requested six months to prepare for a fight with Tom Aspinall.
Chael Sonnen, quoted by MMA News
It's been four and a half months since that fight. Did he not train? Train with Aspinall in mind? Did he not full well know the undisputed champion was gonna take on the interim champion? What do you mean six months - six months from when? You mean from right now, don't you? That's very interesting to me. When I dreamed about being good, it never even crossed my mind in my dreams to be a world champion that doesn't practice.
Tom Aspinall last fought in July 2024 at UFC 304, where he knocked out Curtis Blaydes in the first round. His record stands at 15 wins and three losses.
Jon Jones last entered the octagon in November 2024 at UFC 309, defeating Stipe Miocic by technical knockout in the third round. He has a record of 28 wins and one loss, with one fight ruled as a no contest.
