Interim UFC heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall explained his advantage over the current titleholder, Jon Jones.
One of Jon Jones' biggest advantages is that he's a tape studier...he loves to study opponents like this, he has no chance of doing that wit🍨h me because my average fight time is the shortest in UFC history at 2 minutes, two seconds over 10 fights, and that's something that keeps him up at night that will keep him up at night for sure I am a 𝔉massive, massive question mark for him.
Aspinall told Ariel Helwani in an interview:
One of Jon Jones' biggest advantages over everyone else is that he studies fight tapes. He loves analyzing his opponents. He has no chance to do that with me because my average fight time is the shortest in the UFC: 2 minutes and 10 seconds. That’s🐲 definitely something that will keep him up at night. I’m a huge, huge question mark for him. And I know a lot about his game.
Aspinall last entered the Octagon against Curtis Blaydes in July of this year at UFC 304. That fight, whichꦚ was stopped in the first round, saw Tom win by knockout. He now has a record of 15 wins and three losses.
