Tom Aspinall's reaction to Jon Jones' post-fight interview following his UFC 309 win over Stipe Miocic has emerged.

Jones took part in his first UFC fight in 20 months at Madison Square Garden, defending his UFC Heavyweight Championship belt against the number one contender Miocic.

The American won the fight in the third round via TKO with a spinning back kick which was then followed by a series of punches. Miocic announced his retirement from MMA at 42 years of age following the loss.

Jones extends his record to 28-1 with the victory in New York - and fans are all thinking the same thing when it comes to who he should fight next.

Tom Aspinall is the current Interim Heavyweight Champion after Jones suffered an injury last year, and a unification fight is on everyone's minds.

But the American has been critical of his rival in the build-up to the Miocic fight, and has said he will not fight him as 'it does nothing for my legacy'.

Whether his hand will now be forced by UFC President Dana White is another matter.

After Jones' win over Miocic, he gave a post-fight interview in which he said: "I decided that maybe I will not retire ... we have some negotiating to do.

"If everything goes right, maybe we'll give you guys what you want to see [the fight against Aspinall].

"I know we have options. So I'm just going to see what uncle Dana wants and what uncle Hunter [Campbell, UFC CBO] and you guys will hear about it, I'm sure."

After subtly mentioning a potential fight against Aspinall, UFC cameras managed to focus on the Brit, who was sitting in the crowd in New York.

Upon hearing the reference, Aspinall simply raised both arms up into the air and out to the side, welcoming a potential fight against Jones.

He has previously been vocal about how much he wants to step inside the Octagon against the veteran 37-year-old.

Speaking after his win over Curtis Blaydes at UFC 304, Aspinall suggested: "They're saying that Stipe and Jon are going to fight at MSG.

"Why don't we do a tournament? We do Jon versus Stipe, me versus Alex [Pereira]. Do a four-man tournament, two fights in one night, and let's find out who the real heavyweight champion of the world is."
