Jon Jones deletes a blunt tweet calling out Ciryl Gane and Tom Aspinall

Who can dethrone Jon ‘Bones’ Jones? This is one of the most-asked questions in UFC, but we haven’t got the answer yet. Every now and then, a rising UFC fighter enters this conversation, about who fans think can defeat Jones. Recently, it has been Tom Aspinall, who has called out the UFC legend for a fight.

Responding to this in a candid manner, Jones posted a blunt tweet. He boldly asserted that every fighter is hailed as the “next big thing” until he triumphs over them. “Everyone’s the next big thing until I beat them. And then it’s like well. Who was that guy anyways?”

Further, Jones referenced Ciryl Gane, who was pitted against him at UFC 285. However, the UFC heavyweight champ ended the fight in the first round itself. “Just a few months ago, Gane was the absolute future of MMA. Best foot work, fastest heavyweight we have ever seen. The most athletic. Now everyone is like who the hell is that guy,” he said.
