Tom Aspinall is working on new techniques ahead of Jon Jones fight

In the build-up to major fights, athletes work tirelessly on learning a game plan that can be implemented to defeat their upcoming opponent.

However, with the fight with Jon Jones not yet agreed, Tom Aspinall has an opportunity to work on new techniques that could have a major impact in his future contests.

In a video uploaded to his YouTube channel, the Brit said: “I’m just sparring to get better. I’m not sparring to prepare for a fight. So, it’s really interesting for me that I don’t have to work to a game plan in sparring.

“I can just practice my new techniques that I’m working on at the minute, practice new little things that I’m working on.

“Whereas, if I’m in the build-up to a fight and I’m in a training camp, I’m just sparring for my opponent and what he does well.

“Right now, I’m not within a 12, ten, or eight-week training camp, so I’m just sparring, working on things that I wanna work on, which is good.”
