Michael Bisping, the former UFC champion and current commentator, has voiced his opinion on Jon Jones`s next move, stating that Jones should either face Tom Aspinall in a fight or vacate his heavyweight title.
Bisping commented on the potential risks of Jones training intensely with heavyweights for six months, highlighting the possibility of injury and a repeat of past postponements. He suggested that another injury leading to a fight cancellation would require serious consequences. Bisping raised a hypothetical point about fighters potentially feigning injury to avoid bouts, though clarified he wasn`t accusing Jones of such behavior, but rather illustrating a possible problematic scenario.
According to Bisping, the current uncertainty surrounding Jones`s fight cannot continue indefinitely. While acknowledging criticisms aimed at Jones regarding the fight delays, Bisping defended Jones`s accomplishments in the octagon, recognizing him as an exceptional champion. Ultimately, Bisping concluded that Jones is at a crossroads and must choose between accepting the fight with Aspinall or retiring from the sport.
