Jon Jones has made trolling Tom Aspinall into something of a hobby. The former heavyweight champion allegedly turned down thirty million dollars rather than fight the British interim titleholder earlier this year. He even announced his retirement to avoid the matchup, only to come back weeks later wanting to fight Alex Pereira instead. <\/p>

Jones has been relentless in mocking Aspinall, most recently showing up to an event on horseback, with his horse wearing an eye patch<\/a>, a clear jab at the UFC 321 eye poke controversy. Now he’s taken his criticism even further by analyzing Aspinall’s performance against Ciryl Gane before that fight ended in disaster.<\/p>

Jon Jones Breaks Down What He Saw At UFC 321<\/h2>

During the No Scripts Podcast<\/strong>, Jones (28-1<\/a>) gave his honest assessment of Tom Aspinall’s skill set. He didn’t just dismiss Aspinall’s abilities casually, he broke down specific weaknesses he observed during that brief first round. Coming from arguably the greatest MMA fighter of all time, these criticisms carry weight whether Aspinall’s supporters want to admit it or not. Jones submitted Gane in the first round at UFC 285, so he knows exactly what the Frenchman brings to the table and how to handle him.<\/p>

“I feel as Tom is a great athlete, but I do feel like he is a one-trick pony. I believe his wrestling and jiu-jitsu are incredibly overrated. He has a beautiful 1-2. I got to learn a lot about his patterns in his last fight. Beautiful 1-2, but that’s really about it. He couldn’t touch Ciryl Gane at all.”<\/em><\/strong><\/p>
