He captioned the post by writing:

''Keep a lookout for some absolutely insane content from @ketone Doctor Bones is back but this time with a whole new set of skills #behindthescenes''

As for the MMA scene, Jones repeatedly dismissed Aspinall's callout for a title unification bout and went on to defend his throne against former champion Stipe Miocic at UFC 309. 'Bones' landed an impressive spinning back-kick and secured a third-round knockout victory.

While UFC Dana White is confident about the potential Jones vs. Aspinall fight this year, the two-division champion has reportedly asked for six months to prepare for the Brit.

Tom Aspinall's father is unhappy by delay of the potential fight with Jon Jones

Jon Jones has repeatedly ignored Tom Aspinall's calls for the undisputed title matchup. But, according to recent reports, their potential fight will take place sometime this year.

In a recent YouTube video, Aspinall's father Andy Aspinall expressed his frustration with the delay in the official announcement, saying:

''It’s just a massive pain in the a*s really...it would be really nice because he’s a fighter if he could have a fight...It’s not just about money, it’s about ‘do you want your fighters to have fights when they’re fit to fight? He’s not having fights and it’s frustrating but what do you do?”
