By Tom Aspinall, who recently defended his UFC interim heavyweight title at UFC 304 by defeating Curtis Blaydes in just 60 seconds, is adamant that his next fight will be for the undisputed title. Aspinall joins the ranks of Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira and Renan Barao as one of the few fighters to defend an interim title. He holds the interim title due to reigning champion Jon Jones’ injury and upcoming fight against Stipe Miocic.
Aspinall is determined not to remain an interim champion for long and is ready to fight anyone for the undisputed title. UFC CEO Dana White has suggested Aspinall as a backup for the Jones vs. Miocic fight. Aspinall is confident in his abilities and believes he can defeat both Jones and Miocic, emphasizing his readiness to step in at any moment.
Aspinall’s confidence stems from his consistent performance in the UFC, and he firmly believes he is the best heavyweight in the world, regardless of the interim tag. He is focused on proving his status as the undisputed champion in his next fight.
