In an interview with “CBS Sports”, Tom aspinall stated that he does not even consider the possibility of fighting for the interim title and mentioned names such as Stipe Miocic e Jon Jones as truly worthy of the dispute.
“It’s not something I think about much. I have no interest in that, actually. I think there are other people who deserve more, like Stipe Miocic ou Jon Jones. There are definitely people who deserve it more than me. I just got into the top 10. I'm not looking to do anything like that. Look at Cyryl Gane, he came close to beating Ngannou. People like him deserve much more than me”, admitted Aspinall.
The target of Tom aspinall currently serves as Tai tuivasa. After finishing Alexander Volkov No. UFC London, in March, the Brit wasted no time and challenged the Australian, who occupies third place in the rankings. Still in the interview, Aspinall spoke about the chances of the fight happening and the desire to be the “face” of the United Kingdom in the UFC.
“I haven't received anything yet, but I heard he was negotiating with Stipe to get this fight. Then I heard from some inside sources that this fight is not even close to being confirmed. The ball is in his court, but I want to fight in the UK. Me and Tai in the UK would be unbelievable. I want to be the UK guy. I don't want to fight on a card where I'm just another guy, you know? Want to be in the UK. I want to be that guy”, he concluded.
