Former champion Jon Jones takes another dig at Tom Aspinall, referencing his quick win over Ciryl Gane in UFC 321.
The heavyweight division endured a dramatic night at UFC 321 in Abu Dhabi, but not for the reasons many had hoped. Tom Aspinall’s first defense of his undisputed heavyweight title ended abruptly when Ciryl Gane unintentionally poked him in the eyes, forcing a no-contest in the opening round.
For Jon Jones, the former champion and one of the sport’s all-time greats, it was a moment to strike again at Aspinall. Jones’ reaction came first in a subtle but clear social media change. He replaced the duck in his profile picture with one wearing an eyepatch—a direct reference to the UFC 321 incident.
He followed up by sharing a post comparing the length of his own fight against Gane to the abbreviated Aspinall-Gane bout.
