Of course Tom should, he's been sitting on his ass in his prime sheerly due to his sense of entitlement. The irony is that old man Jones fought FOUR MONTHS MORE RECENTLY than Primadonna Aspinall. Aspinall just sitting around trying to rush an older fighter into fighting before he's ready.....and demanding to fight him even though Jones has beaten the number one guy Gane and Tom wants to skip over him.
Tom knows his only chance is trying to force a battle worn Jones into a rushed possibly injury riddled overtraining situation. He's trying to use his extra 4 months of rest, recovery, and preparation to his advantage. Jones simply requested some extra time to prepare, which would make up for the massive 4 month advantage Tom currently has.
His fans are like Khabib fans now and come up with all kinds of bizarre creepy white knight arguments for him like "yeah he didn't beat Gane but he beat Volkov so it's basically the same thing!". It only makes sense if you're a cult member I guess. Why not get a real world, actual win over a top guy, instead of relying on demented hypothetical MMAth horseshit.
Then if he is able to get by Gane, you just watch what happens.....Jones will be ready to fight and Tom will say no no noooooo I need more time to prepare, I just recently fought! Hypocrisy at its finest.
