UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones has responded to interim heavyweight division champion Tom Aspinall's call for the promotion's management to strip Jones of his title.
I’ve faced the absolute toughest competition this world had to offer for 15 years now. During camp for a title defense I sustained a major injury that required surgery for the first time in my career. Now I have newcomers requesting I get my championship stripped. Zero wins over legends, zero title defenses and already thinking you can call the shots to Dana, that’s hilarious.
