UFC 309 Jones vs Miocic: Jon Jones made this about him – I just want the title, says Tom Aspinall

Ask my dad how many times we’ve heard Jon Jones’ name this week and he can tell you exactly how many. He has a clicker for every time Jones is mentioned to me.

How many are we on now? Seventy-seven, I think. And it’s only one click per person you only get once.

The t-shirt I wore with my face on it that says ‘Hey Jon, I don’t mind you personally, I just think I’m better than you’ – just kidding.

I didn’t want to annoy him, I didn’t want to bother anyone.

Charlie, my social media guy, came up with the idea. We thought it was a cool design and it took the mickey out of myself more than anything else.

Americans can be very easily offended sometimes where it’s just plain British humour, right? You take the mickey out of yourself and other people. But Jon is very sensitive about it.

I hope not to run into Jon this week. He honestly doesn’t interest me at all. I don’t want to create a beef that isn’t there, I just want the title and that’s all.
