UFC Interim Heavyweight Champion Tom Aspinall has been sending smoke signals to both Jon Jones and Dana White in order to get his next opponent. He has his sights set on UFC 300, which has the potential to become the most important event of 2024. But Aspinall has been rejected by Jon Jones multiple times, mainly because the GOAT has been recovering from a complete muscle tear he suffered during a sparring session. But Aspinall remains hopeful he can be part of the event, even if that means he will not fight Jon Jones. In a recent set of tweets, Aspinall did reveal he accepted to fight at the event against a surprising proposed opponent.
Who was Tom Aspinall offered to fight at UFC 300?
Aspinall was responding to a set of statements he made about Jon Jones weeks ago, that were linked to his urgency to fight soon. In a series of tweets, the British heavyweight revealed he was offered a great opponent for UFC 300 but this opponent declined. We are talking about Stipe Miocic, who is widely considered the best UFC Heavyweight of all time. According to Tom, he declined to fight because he was only interested in fighting Jon Jones. Fans were quick to express their disappointment against Miocic but the man has been constantly fighting for years and he is already a seasoned veteran. His resume gives him the right to take or decline on any fight he wants.
Here’s what Aspinall wrote: “Believe it or not I respect Jon Jones and everything he has done. So impressive. I wish him all the best in his recovery and return against Stipe Miocic. While we are talking about him, my manager was contacted by the UFC asking if I’d like to fight him on apr 13th. I, of course, accepted. A little later, we were told that he doesn’t want to fight me, and only interested in fighting Jones. On that note. I will stop crying, accept it ain’t gonna happen and enjoy the fight that me and all the other fans want to see. Legend vs legend for the heavyweight title. Maximum respect guys. Yay!”
