Interim UFC Heavyweight Champion Tom Aspinall once again stated that he did not want to stand idle for a long time after an early victory over Sergei Pavlovich at the UFC 295 tournament.
In an interview with Fight Disciples, the Briton put forward the idea of his fight against the former full title holder Stipe Miocic, which could determine the next challenger for the current undisputed champion Jon Jones.
“Our fight with Miocic makes a lot of sense and is perfect for UFC 300. Our fight will add more meaning to any show. He claims to be the best heavyweight in history. Organizing our fight makes the most sense in the world, and the winner will meet Jones,” the fighter said.
Let us remember that Jones and Miocic were supposed to headline the UFC 295 tournament, but John tore his pectoral muscle at the final stage of training camp and withdrew from the fight. Later, the head of the promotion, Dana White, said that he was not going to refuse the fight between the famous Americans and would now like to arrange it after Jones’s full recovery, which, according to the latest information, will take 6-8 months.
