UFC interim heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall is finally ditching his 'nice guy' attitude in favor of taking some hilarious swings as Jon Jones over the divisive title picture, even donning a 'duck costume' in his latest viral video.
As Dana White doubles down on his controversial plans for the UFC heavyweight division, the English juggernaut is taking no prisoners; releasing a brutal new comedy skit that takes aim at 'Bones' and his frustrating stint on the sidelines.
Tom Aspinall trolls Jon Jones by donning 'duck costume' in new comedy skit
Another week, another war of words between undisputed heavyweight champion Jon Jones and interim title holder Tom Aspinall – albeit this time, the British power puncher is taking things one step further.
It all started when Jones took to social media to state: "I'm 37 years old now, I've kicked everyone's a**. My job is to finish strong and make an amazing movie. Go join Tom Brady, Floyd Mayweather, and all the other retired bad a****."
Aspinall was quick to respond to the post, asking Jones to "Please make sure you pass me the belt on the way out of the Octagon if you beat Biden" – having previously gone viral for comparing the 42-year-old Stipe Miocic to the US President over his pulling out of the election.
Yet Aspinall was far from done with his trolling of the former light heavyweight and current heavyweight champion, having just released a 120-second video to his Instagram mocking the title chaos dominating the UFC's biggest division.
The video starts with a clip of Dana White saying that if you put two guys in a room, it'll always be Jones who emerges – with Aspinall noting that "We need to get Jon in a room first," as he went on a treasure hunt for 'Bones'.
The sketch shows the English heavyweight 'searching' for Jones, clipped together from various of Bones' own social media posts, including at a massage parlor, on a bike ride, and even in his swimming pool… Ending with him donning a duck mask and pretending to cry on a park bench.

Dana White doubles down on plan for Jones vs Miocic, then Aspinall next
At last night's post-DWCS press conference, Dana White not only fired back at fans who think he's been over-promoting Jon Jones of late but also doubled down on his plans to make the undisputed fight with Aspinall next (after Miocic).
"Jon is one of those challenging guys to deal with and he's talking about retiring, but will he if the Aspinall thing is really [still] out there? I personally think that Jon challenges himself and takes the fight.
"For anybody who thinks – and I know the whole internet's like 'I'm up Jon Jones' ass' – [but] these are f***** facts, facts! And since everybody has been such douchebags about this, I'm coming out with a nice little punch in the face for all f**** that Jon Jones isn't the greatest of all time."
White claimed that there was "no way in hell" that Jones doesn't want to test himself against the British sensation, even harking back to the negotiations for the superfight with Francis Ngannou that sadly never came to fruition – White also apologized over the controversial ‘erasing’ of Ngannou from the UFC.

"There is no way in hell that Jon Jones doesn't want to fight Aspinall, that I guarantee you… Jon Jones will fight everybody; Jon Jones wanted Francis [Ngannou] and we saw what happened with Ciryl Gane – he will tell you like he told us; he would do the same thing to Francis Ngannou. He wanted that fight so bad."
A reminder that Jones vs Miocic has not yet been officially announced by the UFC but is expected to take place in November at Madison Square Garden in New York.
