Aspinall fired the "grateful" Jones.
Interim UFC heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall did not ignore another attack by the current title holder John Jones, who held a large seminar in Thailand the day before and thanked the potential opponent for the army of British fans who had replenished his fan base. "You're welcome, John. I told you, I'm not a jerk. I'm glad you're enjoying retirement," the Briton wrote on a social network. In addition to Aspinall, the American mentioned fans who are collecting signatures on a petition to strip him of his championship belt, asking them to push and bring the number of votes collected to two hundred thousand. At the moment, Jones lacks twenty-five thousand to reach the mark.
