Amid Jones’ absence, Tom Aspinall was crowned the Interim UFC Heavyweight Champion at UFC 295. Aspinall won the title by defeating Sergei Pavlovich in a first-round knockout.
Recently, Jon Jones and Tom Aspinall met face-to-face, where both exchanged a few words. Aspinall attempted to put his arm on Jones’ shoulder. However, Jones didn’t like it. He quickly removed Aspinall’s arm from his shoulder.
