So no answer? Yes, he did, Tom said in his shorts that the UFC desperately wants to make him and JJ. The cameraman asked whether it's true that actually, they (UFC) don't want Aspinall to fight any other fighter rather than JJ (to which Tom said "yes".). It was said in MMA mania, bloody elbow and other MMA sources that the fighters were called to headline IFW. Then, Tom posted he was ill, that he was having metabolism testing issues, that he had negotiations to do with the UFC. All while, both were offered the fight for July. Tom said he is not within a 12 week training regimen, even... Meaning he won't be in camp until July.
Tom said the UFC wants him to fight JJ only and no other fighter. Tom agreed with this fact, that the UFC is kinda avoiding having him (Tom) fighting anyone that's not JJ. Tom did not say JJ denied the fight there, rather, he cited problems with his health and negotiations... And was talking about a financially big $ for fighting JJ...
I mean, legit question... Can you read? I'm sorry if the JJ is a duck position is not as strong as you liked to believe.
