From the files of having your cake and eating it, too, it has been difficult to come to terms with Jon Jones' self-narrative of late as the often reclusive UFC legend has resurfaced in the media cycle entering just his second bout in a span approaching five full years.

Interim heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall has lost respect for heavyweight titleholder Jon Jones for 'ducking' him.

Among the potential opponents, Jones mentioned were Jamahal Hill and Derrick Lewis—fighters who bring unique challenges but aren’t necessarily title contenders. Jones hinted at meeting Hill at a catchweight of 220 pounds, a matchup he described as “interesting” given his current flexibility to compete with both light heavyweights and heavyweights.
