Tom Aspinall Eclipses 500 Days As INTERM HW Champ

[Black9]

UFC 295 - Nov 2023

Will this fight EVER happen or..?

 

[Why did you]

at least he has one UFC record set in his favour

 

[Here's Johnny!]

Zzz

 

[Dorkman]

Wasting this guys prime just to appease a egomaniac who's got 1 foot out the door. Such nonsense

 

[MrBlackheart]

Aspinall Champ days also known as Jones Duck days

 

[Rio Ferdinand]

If they can't make the fight this year then Jon should definitely vacate.

That should be the ultimatum.

Let Gane and Aspinall fight for the vacant title.

The last time the UFC bent over like this for someone was probably Conor Mcgregor when he held up the LW title for god knows how long.

They are so star deprived at this point.

 

[Johnnny]

Francis Ngannou has been the lineal champ for 1459 days and counting.

It's probably not all that deep. HW is barren as fuck. They're going to give Gane ANOTHER title shot? How do you even sell that?

[GrantB13]

What a joke of a situation to allow this to happen.

 

[Last Falconry]

they should make an interim champion for the interim championship. volkov or something. a real interim-ception

 

[BigOlJeet]

Shereog’s GOAT gents.

UFCs Longest reigning interim champ of all time !!!

is set to defend his title against...

UFC highest ranked Non champion at HW



The winner of this MIGHT get a chance to face the winner of

Jon Jones Vs Stipe 2

...some time in 2026!!!

 

[ultra321]

time to strip jon...
If the UFC doctors can't find a reason he can't fight then he needs to be in camp already...

 

[Elvis.]

Just give Jones an ultimatum, accept the fight or relinquish the title , this is so unprofessional for the ufc to be drawing it out like this

 

[Lawrence]

Yeah....... I see no reason to wait to book Jones.

Strip him, elevate Tom and book him another fight.

If Jon wants to fight again he will be given a title shot without delay anyhow.

This waiting by the UFC to get the money fight is a loss leader at this point. Even if they get it they have lost money keeping Tom on the bench.

When Jon fought Stipe and Buffer announced him as "Undisputed" I threw up a little.

The UFC gave Tom the interim shot to save a card. On that day, Jones became a disputed champion.

 

[CJrider]

Jon wants to be stripped anyways, he will be more than happy to bring up that Aspinall never won the "legitimate" HW belt as he fades into obscurity.

 

[Mick Dojang]

I wonder what the fight holdup is at this point

Maybe Jones settled on a greater number than UFC thought the fight was worth or something

At this point it's one of the few fights people care about. Which was possibly the point of the holdup before but now it's time to cash in

This. Dana has showed how pathetic and desperate the UFC is with this whole charade around Jones.
