Next fight of Tom Aspinall is not determined yet.
Jon Jones, the reigning UFC heavyweight champion, spoke to a fight fan on social media about Tom Aspinall, the promotion's interim champion in the division.
Fan: "Tom is literally the interim UFC heavyweight champion."
Jones: "From my perspective, he's more of a number one contender after Stipe."
Aspinall didn't have anything to say in response, only adding a photo on social media of the moment he asks Jones about their fight.
Jones just recently had his first training session after a long layoff due to recovering from an injury. His next fight will be against Stipe Miocic, a former heavyweight champion.
Interim UFC heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall reacted to the news that former titleholder Cyril Gun declined to fight him at an upcoming event in Manchester because of a movie shoot.
"Cyril Gun declined the offer to fight Tom Aspinall in Manchester because of filming in the movie, - quoted the Briton news in the social network.- Does anyone know what movie Cyril is starring in?".
Recall, earlier Aspinall confirmed that he will appear on June 27 at the UFC 304 show in Manchester. The most likely candidate for the British opponent is now American Curtis Blades, to whom he lost early in July 2022 due to a leg injury.
UFC interim heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall shared his expectations for the upcoming Ultimate Fighting Championship heavyweight division title fight between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk, scheduled for May 18 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
"I've sparred a lot with Tyson. This guy is a giant and when he starts applying pressure, it takes a lot of power to stop him. It will be very hard for Usik to do that for 12 rounds.
It would be foolish of me to bet against Fury. I'm a big Usik fan, but Tyson is my buddy, so I have to favor him. If Tyson forces Usik to back down - I'd say he wins by knockout in the later rounds. Round 10, 11, 12 - somewhere in that neighborhood," Bloody Elbow quoted Aspinall as saying.
Interim UFC heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall is extremely angered by the fact that the main card of the scheduled July 27 UFC 304 event in Manchester will begin at 3 a.m. UK time.
Top American heavyweight Curtis Blades has expressed his willingness to fight interim division champion Brit Tom Aspinall at UFC 304, scheduled for July 27 in Manchester.
"I'm hopeful, but I'm not expecting anything. It would be cool to fight him. That fight makes sense. All I have to do is prepare. By July, I'll be ready. There are times when a fight makes sense, but they do something else instead. I wouldn't be surprised if the UFC invites Brock Lesnar to Manchester. I'll be upset, but it won't be a surprise. A fight in England? I don't really care. I like England, even though the ventilation sucks there. They don't have it for some reason. I don't know why," - quotes the words of Blades MMA Fighting.
Recall that the first fight between Blades and Aspinall took place in the summer of 2022. Then Tom capitulated at 15 seconds because of a knee injury.
