The UFC’s two heavyweight champions are living very different lives at this moment in time.
Fans may have misinterpreted Tom Aspinall’s recent announcement as the interim champion has no fight news at this moment in time.
In the meantime, he’s continuing to work on his skills despite Aspinall admitting how tough this process has been for him.
His rival, on the other hand, appears to be living his best life with Jon Jones showing no signs of an Octagon return in the near future.
Jones has been keeping himself busy in other ways with a video of him riding on the back of a bike in Thailand earning some confused reactions.

Tom Aspinall and Craig Jones troll Jon Jones over video from his trip to Thailand
Many of the reactions to the video of Jon Jones riding on the back of a bike referenced the somewhat strange way that ‘Bones’ grabs the driver by his hair before they drive off.
While Tom Aspinall isn’t necessarily the type to record and post a comedy skit that makes reference to this, Craig Jones certainly is.
The elite grappler, who is well known for his comedic antics, recently spent some time with the likes of Aspinall and Paul Hughes during his seminar tour.
In a video posted by Jones on Instagram, he ran up behind the UFC’s interim heavyweight champion who was riding past on a bicycle.
The Aussie immediately jumped onto the back of the bike where he started to playfully grab at Aspinall’s hair before the Brit was able to get away from him.
Aspinall’s attention was drawn back towards the jiu-jitsu star after being told, “sorry, it’s a Jones thing Tom,” which prompted a slow turn from the 32-year-old.

Craig Jones has become a key figure in combat sports for various reasons
Craig Jones has been considered to be one of the best submission grapplers on the planet for some time but his stock has continued to rise in recent years.
Not only has the Aussie’s sense of humor helped him to become a real star in the grappling world, he has achieved a lot of success in various career paths.
The first ever Craig Jones Invitational was a big moment for submission grappling in August of last year but Jones’ influence has been felt in MMA also.
He recently cornered Jack Della Maddalena for his UFC 315 title fight, with a lot of people praising the influence of the 33-year-old grappling specialist following the challenger’s impressive performance.
