'My manager was contacted by UFC..' Tom Aspinall reveals legendary opponent turning down SHOCKING fight offer against him at UFC 300

Aspinall won the interim UFC heavyweight championship in November. He had shown a readiness to face Miocic at UFC 300. It was a key milestone for the organization. To his astonishment, Miocic allegedly refused the offer, preferring to fight Jon Jones. 

The issue complicates the situation in the already challenging heavyweight division. This is especially complicated because Jon Jones will be out until mid-2024 due to a torn pectoral muscle and elbow surgery. Aspinall remains in a state of uncertainty, with no clear path to a championship shot despite winning the interim title.

Tom Aspinall is now over trying to get a fight against Stipe Miocic or Jon Jones

Tom Aspinall’s recent public words reflect his unhappiness with the UFC’s matchmaking choices. He has previously expressed reservations about the lack of a defined objectivity in selecting the title contenders. Despite holding an interim championship, Aspinall appears to have difficulty obtaining a high-profile match confirming his status as a true titleholder.

Recognizing the circumstances, Aspinall took to social media to proclaim his acceptance of the situation. He pledged to stop trying to get a fight and expressed his admiration for Jon Jones and Stipe Miocic. This is what he had to say:

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. Tom Aspinall via X

The discovery has sparked speculation among fans and commentators about the promotion’s next plans and its fighters. As UFC 300 approaches, the attention on the heavyweight class grows. The uncertainty surrounding the championship situation only heightens the excitement for this historic event.
