Jones walks out of UFC 309 interview: 'Going to be an Aspinall-fest'
UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones is apparently tired of getting asked about Tom Aspinall.
Jones walked out of an interview Wednesday with TNT Sports' Adam Catterall - who's on friendly terms with Aspinall - because he expected to receive a flurry of questions about the interim champ.
"I'm not gonna do this interview ... it's going to be an Aspinall-fest," Jones said to his team.

“Common sense tells me what type of questions I’m just going to get asked.”

Jones went up to the reporter afterward and said it was "nothing personal" but that "common sense" told him "what type of questions I was gonna get asked."
Jones will defend his title for the first time against Stipe Miocic at UFC 309 on Saturday in New York.
