"The UFC asked Tom Aspinall to relinquish the title until he is ready to return, and he said he would be willing to give up the belt if he were released from the organization. Now this opens the door for him - he will be able to pursue boxing. It is really a very strange situation. The heavyweight division is now a complete mess.
Jailton Almeida left - he was just fired. Tom Aspinall might leave. Jon Jones doesn’t seem to be planning to return. The division is just chaos, a real disaster. The heavyweight and light heavyweight divisions are now in the worst state in history,” said Thomson in the latest episode of his podcast.
