Tom Aspinall has heard the numerous times recently that UFC CEO Dana White has gone out of his way to argue that heavyweight champion Jon Jones is pound-for-pound the best fighter in the world.
Well, Aspinall (15-3 MMA, 8-1 UFC), who holds the UFC interim heavyweight title, highly disagrees with White’s take and is confident he can prove that statement to be false.
“They way I look at it, I’m the best heavyweight in the world,” Aspinall said on the “Belive You Me” podcast with Michael Bisping and Anthony Smith. “I’m not getting my credit for it. They’re holding the belt hostage, mate, and Jon Jones is loving it. He’s loving the fact that Dana is getting on every interview possible … you’re talking about bantamweights, and Dana White flips it and starts talking about how good Jon Jones is. I’m like, ‘Mate, if he’s that good, let’s fight.’
