Could Jon Jones return if Tom Aspinall is unable to compete—and what must happen before Aspinall can even consider a rematch with Ciryl Gane?

He also reacts to the possibility of Jon Jones returning, breaks down Cain Velasquez vs Shane Carwin, reveals the most technical performance of his UFC career and explains why UFC fighters will never receive equity in the company.
