American UFC heavyweight champion John Jones must beat interim British titleholder Tom Aspinella the ASA heavyweight champion told Evgeny Goncharov .
At UFC 309 in New York, Jones, 37, defeated Stipe Miocic, 42, by third-round TKO to retain his heavyweight title. For Jones, this victory was the 28th of his career.
— I was impressed by Jon Jones’ performance. A very good first round which he played in a dominant manner. In the second segment, John took a break, didn’t force things, worked to the body and shook Stipe up a bit. And in the third round there was a cool knockout. In general, he played slowly, like in training, somewhere imposing, lazily. Jones came out and showed that Stipe today is not a fighter at his level.
I think we deserve Jon Jones and Tom Aspinall. And I think Jones will win. John will be much better than in the fight with Miocic. Jones will approach the fight with full responsibility and understanding what is at stake: John’s legacy. Jones has what it takes to beat Aspinall. In addition, he has extensive experience in championship fights, which is important,” Goncharov told .
