The patience of many MMA fans is wearing thin when it comes to Jon Jones.
One of the most talked-about potential matchups in MMA over the last year has been the prospective heavyweight title unification fight between Jon Jones and Tom Aspinall. Unfortunately, this highly anticipated bout doesn`t seem any closer to materializing. This delay is undoubtedly frustrating for Aspinall, who now holds the record for the longest tenure as a UFC interim champion, but it appears the fanbase is also growing increasingly weary of the situation.
Earlier this week, Jones stirred up the ongoing discussion surrounding his contentious title status by responding to fans on Twitter. He claimed he had informed the UFC of his intentions “ages ago” and stated he would not be bothered if the promotion decided to strip him of his belt. Unsurprisingly, these remarks did not elicit a positive reaction from fans, who simply desire to see the undisputed heavyweight champion finally face off against the interim titleholder.
Here`s how fans reacted to Jones`s recent comments:
