Jon Jones reacted to Tom Aspinall’s callout. Sort of.

Aspinall successfully defended his interim heavyweight title with a 60-second knockout of Curtis Blaydes in the co-main event of UFC 304 on Saturday night in Manchester. Following the victory, Aspinall called for a unification bout with Jones, who defeated Ciryl Gane in March 2023 at UFC 285 to win the vacant UFC heavyweight title.

On Sunday, “Bones” gave his first public reaction to Aspinall’s comments.

I don't get it. Aspinall has to get popular enough?

It does seem that way
Jones wants no piece of that fight or challenge

Jon or Stipe aren't really the active hungry challengers in the division so Tom can just keep defending his strap...might have cleaned out the top 15 by the time Jon vs Stipe happens or doesn't happen

I think Tom has beaten like 6-7 of the top 10-12 HWs already

Yes. It is prize fighting, not a tournament. You make the fight that you think will sell the most. Aspinall is not well known amongst casual fans.
