Jon Jones believes he🍸's the🎀 GOAT with or without beating Tom Aspinall.
Jon Jones is set to return to the Octagon on Saturday when he defends the UFC Heavyweight Championship against Stipe Miocic. Jones hasn't fought since winning the vacant title from Ciryl 🐈Gane at UFC 285 in March 2023. Stipe hasn't fought since March 2021 wh๊en he lost by KO to Francis Ngannou.
Many fans have called fo🍌r Jones to fight Interim UFC Heavyꦰweight Champion Tom Aspinall, should Jones retain on Saturday.
Jones hasn't been keen on the fight.
As at this point in my career, every decision is rooted in purpose. My journey isn’t dictated by hype or outside opinions—it’s about crafting a legacy that spe🐷aks for itself, one step at a time. I’m here to do what’s right for my career and my leg🃏acy, with a vision that’s clear…

I know it’s hard for a lot of you guys to grasp🍌,, but based on his résumé today, figh𒁏ting and beating him would change nothing about my legacy. I would literally be in the same position I am now. The Goat

If he becomes the best o🌞f all time, then calling me a duck would make sense. Right now? Way too early. My challenge to him: build a career like mine. Winning 5? Hard enough. 17? I seriously doubt it.

Aspinall has won three straight fights, all by (T)KO, and all under 90 seconds. He is 8-1 in the UFC with his only l🌸oss coming by way of knee injury 15 seconds into a fight against Curtis Blaydes. He avenged that loss by KOing Blaydes in one minute at UFC 304 in July.
Fightful will have cover🌄age of UFC 309 o✅n Saturday.
