Alexander Volkov: Jon Jones ‘cut the line’ to UFC title, Tom Aspinall had more honest path

LAS VEGAS – Alexander Volkov thinks Tom Aspinall earned his way to UFC gold more than Jon Jones did.

Jones (28-1 MMA, 22-1 UFC) claimed the vacant heavyweight title when he returned from an over three-year long layoff to submit Ciryl Gane at UFC 285. Last month at UFC 309, Jones successfully defended his title with a TKO of Stipe Miocic.
