#1 UFC contender Magomed Ankalaev suggests champ Jon Jones is running scared of Tom Aspinall.
The UFC interim heavyweight champion has surely cast a shadow over this Saturday's UFC 309 main event between Jones and 42-year-old former champ Miocic, winning and defending gold since the last time we saw the headliners in the Octagon with Jones injured for the last year and Miocic out since a 2021 TKO loss to lineal heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou.
"Just bought this for the , she will absolutely love it," Aspinall posted a duck toy on his Instagram, alluding to Jones.Aspinall isn't the only UFC star that thinks Jones is ducking in the latter stage of his career. Before he made his heavyweight debut in 2023, Jones had a target on his back for a decade at light heavyweight - where he reigned, for the most part, as the champion.
"Magomed jealousy won’t earn you legend status, my friend," Jones responded to Ankalaev on X. "Train harder, hate less. Want to truly insult me? Break some of my records first. Let’s get started."Why Jones Doesn't Want To Fight Aspinall
