"Jon Jones “It’s amazing, it’s not an easy challenge, but maybe he’s not training as hard. I don’t know anything, it’s just a guess from the outside. It doesn’t seem like he trains as much, he’s definitely getting older and the time to beat him is now, if there ever is a time,” said the fighter.
Mick Parkin completed his justification, highlighting the level of training of Tom aspinall and the skills that would make his compatriot the favorite in the eventual duel.
“Tom is training from strength to strength and he is just the most dangerous guy. The way he moves and everything. He is a big guy, he is very, very fast and he is just coming to his peak now. I think he wins.” Jon Jones”, Finished.
