Tom Aspinall: "Questions that everybody wants to find out" - Georges St-Pierre believes Tom Aspinall could be Jon Jones' toughest test yet

Georges St-Pierre recently shared his thoughts on the ongoing debacle at heavyweight between Jon Jones and Tom Aspinall. St-Pierre noted that Aspinall could be a tough test for Jones if they meet in the octagon.

There continues to be uncertainty as it pertains to the status of Jones vs. Aspinall as Dana White has constantly expressed his confidence that it will happen, however, it appears less likely based on Jones' posts on X.

The reigning heavyweight champion continues to dismiss the Englishman as an opponent that excites him, while many in the MMA community have signed a petition urging White to strip him of his title.
