MMA fans are increasingly impatient with the ongoing delay surrounding Jon Jones, particularly regarding a potential fight with interim heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall.
For over a year, the mixed martial arts community has anticipated a unification bout between UFC heavyweight champion Jones and Aspinall. However, the fight appears no closer to being booked, as Jones seems unaffected by the growing criticism and continues to hint at retirement. This situation is particularly frustrating for Aspinall, who has been sidelined since last July while awaiting Jones. He has now indicated his patience has run out.
Earlier this week, Aspinall announced he was tired of being held back by Jones`s indecision. He stated his belief that Jones has retired from the sport and declared himself the undisputed heavyweight champion. Aspinall also mentioned he is ready to bring activity back to the division and expects to announce his next fight date shortly.
While the actual status of Jones`s retirement remains unconfirmed, Aspinall`s recent statements seem to align with the sentiment of a growing number of fans. Many appear ready to accept the possibility of Jones`s retirement and are keen for the heavyweight division to move forward.
