Chael Sonnen, former UFC fighter and current analyst and commentator, explained why a bout between Cyril Gagne and Tom Aspinall, the interim UFC heavyweight champion, is dangerous for the promotion.
"I think if they bring Cyril back to the UFC and he wins and puts the belt on, it's going to be a problem for the promotion. If Jon Jones accepts, the UFC will have to make a rematch between Jon and Cyril. And my guess is that it will be very difficult to do so, given Gan's performance in their previous fight. I don't think there's any scenario for a re-match of this fight. Ghana's belt is a risk for the UFC," Sonnen said on ESPN MMA's YouTube channel.
Cyril Gan, the UFC's top heavyweight, has reacted to the words of the organization's interim featherweight champion Tom Aspinall, who previously said the Frenchman was refusing to fight him as well as Sergey Pavlovich. Gan told Aspinall that they will see each other in September.
Tom Aspinall, interim UFC champion, said in a recent interview that his next opponent will be either Cyril Gun or Curtis Blades. The Brit also noted that he would personally like to fight Blades. A little later Tom explained his choice.
