Aspinall doesn't want to sit idle

Tom Aspinall, interim UFC heavyweight champion, has stated his unwillingness to sit idle for long periods of time. The Brit wants to make the fight as early as possible.

"I missed a year because of an injury that could have ended my career. I want to do my job and prove I'm the best. I'm not a guy who waits it out. I'm a fighter and I want to fight. As far as I'm concerned, I'm far from my peak. There's nothing wrong with my body, nothing wrong with my mind either, so why shouldn't I fight?" - Aspinall said on The MMA Hour podcast.

In his last fight, Aspinall finished Sergey Pavlovic brightly, winning the UFC interim heavyweight title.
