It's the other way around. Ngannou dodged Jones and now Jones dodges Aspinall cause he knows he's too old to fight him.

When Ngannou was champion, there were tons of talks about a fight with Jones, but Jones adamantly refused the idea of him moving up to heavyweight. The moment Ngannou left the UFC, that's when Jones decided to move up.

Jones was supposed to fight Ngannou but Ngannou left the UFC a few days before the fight

They were never officially scheduled to fight. Jon Jones said he'd be willing to fight Ngannou as early as 2020, but didn't make the move up to heavyweight for 3 years.
