Tom Aspinall's NEW TACTIC Could Make Jon Jones BITE!! | Flesh Eating Drugs [GRAPHIC WARNING]

Tom Aspinall has been making headlines in the UFC heavyweight division, not just for his interim title defenses, but for his recent health revelations that seem strategically aimed at baiting Jon Jones into a long-awaited title unification fight. In a series of YouTube videos and social media updates, Aspinall disclosed that he’s been battling persistent health issues since Christmas 2024, including a virus that led to sinusitis, strep, and fevers, causing him to be "bed-bound a couple of times" in 2025. He admitted to not functioning at 100% for months, even undergoing extensive medical tests to uncover the root of his recurring illnesses. This health update, paired with his nine-month Octagon hiatus since UFC 304, paints a picture of vulnerability that some fans and analysts believe is a calculated move to lure Jones into accepting the fight.

Aspinall’s health struggles come at a pivotal moment as he continues to call out Jon Jones, the undisputed UFC heavyweight champion, who has been hesitant to face the interim champ, often citing Aspinall’s lack of big-name wins. Jones, who defended his title against Stipe Miocic at UFC 309, has expressed interest in other matchups, like a potential superfight with Alex Pereira, while demanding a massive payday to even consider fighting Aspinall. However, Aspinall’s public discussion of his weakened state—combined with his confidence that he’ll be back to 100% soon—might be a psychological tactic to make Jones see him as a less threatening opponent, prompting the champ to finally agree to the bout. Posts on X reflect this sentiment, with some fans joking that Aspinall might need to "amputate his arm" to convince Jones he’s an easy target.

This ongoing saga between Tom Aspinall and Jon Jones is heating up, keeping UFC fans on edge as they await confirmation of the biggest heavyweight fight in recent history. Aspinall’s health updates could be the key to breaking Jones’ reluctance, especially as the interim champ balances vulnerability with his signature resilience, promising a return to peak performance. Will this strategy work, or will Jones continue to hold out for his desired terms?
