Jon Jones would be “too smart” for Tom Aspinall were they to meet in the UFC, says fighter Henry Cejudo.
Briton Aspinall, the UFC interim heavyweight champion, is expected to face Jones in a unification fight next should the American decide against retiring from MMA.
Jones, 37, has not lost since 2009 and Cejudo gives Manchester’s Aspinall little chance against the champion.
“I watched a little bit of Tom Aspinall. He’s got lateral movements – really, really good. But Jones is just too smart,” Cejudo said on the Pound 4 Pound podcast., external
“Jones just needs to press him, stay in the middle, don’t react, find his wrestling. I think it will be easy money [for Jones].”
Aspinall spent much of 2024 calling out Jones, but the former light-heavyweight UFC champion fought Stipe Miocic on his return from a lengthy injury in November.
