Jon Jones pulled off a stunt involving a horse as he aimed a fresh dig at Tom Aspinall following the eye poke incident at UFC 321.

Aspinall's heavyweight title fight against Gane ended in a controversial no contest on Saturday.

Gane poked Aspinall in the eye, with the Brit unable to continue.

Referee Jason Herzog waved off the championship contest just four minutes and 35 seconds into the first round of their main-event bout at UFC 321.

Jones poked fun at Aspinall in the immediate aftermath of his no contest with Gane as he aimed a ruthless swipe on social media.

Ahead of Dirty Boxing 4, he continued to mock Aspinall as he arrived at the weigh-ins on a horse wearing an eye patch.

Jones gave an interview whilst on the horse and made a reference to the eyepatch.

"You’ve gotta do it right," he said. "We’ve got the beautiful horse with the eyepatch on.

“We’re having a good night.”

But Jones' latest dig didn't go down well on social media as MMA fans criticised the former UFC champion's stunt given he turned down a fight against Aspinall.

One X user wrote: "Jon Jones is one of the only people alive that will duck an opponent for YEARS, retire from the sport to avoid said opponent, and then post a video mocking the outcome of their most recent fight."

A second said: "Bro dodged tom for over a year and wants to play tough."

A third added: "Trolling the man you ran from is nonsensical."

Jones refused to fight Aspinall despite being offered a reported deal worth $30 million.

He subsequently called time on his career, with Aspinall being elevated to undisputed champion, having held the interim title.

'Bones', however, is hellbent on returning as he eyes a spot on the proposed UFC White House card.

He wants to face UFC light-heavyweight champion Alex Pereira, who is also keen on the match-up.
