How many days has Tom Aspinall completed as the interim heavyweight champ? As per MMA Junkie, its 535 days. Can you imagine that? 535 days waiting for the opportunity of getting the well-deserved title unification bout. But nothing seemed to go fast thanks to Jon Jones, who did not give any real answer to whether he wanted to fight Aspinall or not.
However, Dana White assured that there was a 100% chance of this mega fight taking place. “It’s going to happen,” White told TNT Sports. “It’s done, but it’s not done. Not done enough to sit right here now and announce it and give you a date. But a fight’s going to happen. It’s just a matter of getting it signed now.” Thankfully, it looks like the wait for MMA fans and Aspinall will not be in vain because the Brit has a huge update—or at least a teaser!
As per the video uploaded by MMA Pros Pick, “Tom Aspinall says he has fight news coming soon—hopefully.” In the video, the interim heavyweight champ teased about the upcoming fight. He said, “I know everyone wants fight news, but I do know what’s happening. I’ve had talks with UFC, as we know. I have been sworn to secrecy for a little bit, so stay tuned, stay over the channels, stay over the U F C channels, because as always, as you guys always do. But the news is coming hopefully very, very soon. But if you ask me, I can’t give the answer right now, but stay tuned, it’s coming.”
