Interim UFC heavyweight title holder Tom Aspinall continues to express dissatisfaction with the fact that the next opponent of a full-fledged champion Jon Jones It will not be him, but the former leader of the division, Stipe Miocic, who has not appeared in the Octagon for almost three years.
“When was the last time Stipe fought and won? Now he will fight for the undisputed title, ahead of me, the interim champion, the fighter who ranks first in our division. This is very disappointing to me.
Stipe is one of my favorite fighters. Huge respect for him, and one must admit that his resume is superior to mine. However, it is about who is the best at the moment. I believe this is me. That’s the only thing I can say right now,” Aspinall wrote in X.
Let us remember that Aspinall previously announced his readiness to meet the winner of the Curtis Blaydes-Gailton Almeida fight, which will take place on March 9 at UFC 299.
