"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.
