""Tom's a great athlete, but I do feel like he's a one-trick pony," Jones told the NoScripts Podcast on Wednesday. "I believe that his wrestling and jiu-jitsu is incredibly overrated. He has a beautiful 1-2 [combination]. I got to learn a lot about his patterns in his last fight. That's really about it. That's the one thing that he's setting up real nice.""
""He couldn't touch Ciryl Gane at all, that's the way I felt. I felt Gane was just getting warmed up. Gane's hands were down, he was shaking his shoulders, bouncing around, touching him. He was so comfortable.""
Jon Jones criticized Tom Aspinall’s overall game, calling him a one-trick pony and saying Aspinall’s wrestling and jiu-jitsu are overrated. Aspinall’s first official title defense at UFC 321 ended in a no-contest after an accidental eye-poke by Ciryl Gane in the opening round, with the bout lasting 4 minutes, 35 seconds. Jones said Aspinall has a beautiful 1-2 combination but relied on predictable patterns. Jones expressed that Gane appeared comfortable and ineffective to be touched, and Jones, who retired in June 2025, has since indicated interest in a comeback.
