Miocic responded to Aspinall: "As soon as I beat Jones, we'll talk about unifying the belts."

Former UFC heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic reacted to continuous criticism from the time zone holder Tom Aspinall.

Aspinall has previously expressed dissatisfaction with the fact that Miocic was given a fight with the current division leader Jon Jones without a queue.

“I never dragged out the fight with John. Tom, as soon as I win, let’s talk about unifying the belts,” Miocic wrote on X.

Let us remember that Jones and Miocic were supposed to fight last November at the UFC 295 tournament, but the champion suffered a torn pectoral muscle and was out of action for 6-8 months. Later, promotion head Dana White announced that he intends to bring together eminent veterans in the second half of this year.
