Jon Jones could well be the largest in MMA, but Michael Bisping made an “disrespectful” prediction on the way he would reflect against Tom Aspinall.
Bisping, the first British UFC champion, sounded in the fight that each fan is desperate to see this year.
Dana White and Co have not yet announced, but there is a lot of optimism surrounding what would be a huge truck pay.
If the fight occurs, Bisping thinks that Jones, who has never been beaten, would not come out in the opening lap.
“Jon Jones fought a good competition that Tom, but Jon fought anyone like Tom either,” said Bisping on Froch on the fighting.
“I would be very surprised. And it seems disrespectful, but I would be very surprised if he came out of the first round.

Jones is 37 years old, six years older than Aspinall, and Bisping thinks that the young man has each tool at his disposal to send the American.
“Listen, Jon Jones is great, and you cannot deny what he has done in the octagon, the career he has had, and he is technically undefeated,” he continued.
“However, everyone finally meets their match. I think Tom Aspinall is the new generation, he is the new breed, and he will probably be the greatest mixed martial artist that we have ever had.
“He is elite like a heavy goods vehicle. Lots of heavy goods vehicles are very good, they are very strong, they are powerful, but they are not as fast and as agile and as technical as Tom
“Tom is the entire package. Tom is a heavyweight Georges St-Pierre. It has no weak areas. He has an absolute, super disciplined, super agile Knockout power on his feet, he finishes everyone really, very quickly.
“However, he did not face someone like Jon Jones because competition in the heavyweight division is not necessarily there on the technical level.”
Aspinall only lost once in the UFC and that was due to a knee injury suffered against Curtis Blaydes.
Apart from this misfortune, he finished all the opponents and was not taken in the second round, by Andrei Arlovski.
He beat Blaydes in Manchester last summer and since waited patiently, trying to make me fight it, even taking a rubber duck in the crowd of the London UFC last month.
The question of whether the “bones” will absolutely accept another matter, but the possibility of a victory in Rubbersamp, his inheritance can be too tempting to refuse.
