GSP Advises Tom Aspinall Against Waiting for Jon Jones

Sports news » GSP Advises Tom Aspinall Against Waiting for Jon Jones

Former UFC champion Georges St-Pierre recently spoke about the highly anticipated potential matchup between UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones and the interim titleholder in the division, Tom Aspinall.

Drawing on his own career, St-Pierre shared a lesson learned from a past defeat:

I remember after losing to Matt Serra I made the mistake of fixating on him and an immediate rematch. But I fought a few times before that happened. If Tom focuses solely on Jon Jones and Jones doesn’t come back quickly, Aspinall will focus on the wrong things. He needs to distract himself and think about what to do next.

GSP offered this advice to Aspinall during an interview with Ariel Helwani, suggesting that Aspinall should not put his career on hold waiting indefinitely for Jones.
