In a crossover with glorious kickboxing heavyweight champion Rico Verhoven, interim UFC heavyweight champion Tom Aspinoll engaged in a body shot competition with King of Kickboxing. Dining and spending time with each other, the Dutch kickboxing king asked Tom Aspinoll about a potential unified match against John Jones. Many even speculate that Jones has been ducking aspinel and has even retired informally.
“I think we get it. He’s unpredictable, a real threat, and sometimes he drops out. People keep telling me different things. I said, ‘What is this?’ he said straight, ‘I’m not nonsense, I just want to do it.’ We should be professional fighters – fighting each other, that’s what we do. ”
Aspineor, who hasn’t fought since defending the interim title against Curtis Braides last year, has shown visible frustration that Jones and the UFC will not put a fight under real pressure on Jones. This response is well guaranteed as it is currently imposed by an inert Jones.
Tom Aspinall is the most legitimate interim champion ever in the UFC.
Sometimes people are questioning the interim title. For example, when Yair Rodriguez won the interim featherweight title against Josh Emmett, many believed it was an unnecessary move by the UFC. People like Tom Aspinall not only won the interim title in a short time against Sergei Pavlovich’s knockout machine, but also defended it against Curtis Blaydes, revenging his only loss in the UFC. Aspinall is perhaps the biggest interim champion since Tony Ferguson.
