‘I Think I Match Up Well’

Tom
Aspinall put the Final Combating Championship’s heavyweight
division on discover Saturday.

In his first struggle in a 12 months, the Englishman blitzed Marcin
Tybura for a 73-second technical knockout victory within the

UFC Fight Night 224 headliner on the O2 Enviornment in London.
Aspinall’s mix of ability and athleticism was on full show, and
he seems to be a troublesome matchup for many anybody within the weight
class. That features Jon Jones, who
Aspinall hasn’t been shy about mentioning as a desired
opponent.

“I believe I match up nicely,” Aspinall stated at Saturday’s post-fight
press convention. “It’s a dream struggle of mine. I believe I’m younger
and I’m contemporary. I’ve not received a great deal of miles on the clock. I’m massive. I
can do all the things nicely. I’m quick, I’m sturdy, I’m heavy, which is
not like a whole lot of his opponents who he’s fought prior to now. I simply
assume I carry one thing totally different to him, and I believe he is aware of
that, as nicely.”

Aspinall’s callout drew Jones’ consideration, because the reigning
heavyweight champion responded with a easy “sounds good” by way of
Twitter. “Bones” is slated to defend his heavyweight crown in opposition to
Stipe
Miocic at UFC 295 in November, and after that, he has hinted
that retirement might be on the horizon.

“Jon
Jones is aware of I exist. Woo-hoo! That’s a win in itself. I’m
buzzing with that,” Aspinall stated. “What I wish to do, I’ve been
saying all of it week, is I wish to win my fights going ahead, of
course, but in addition, one other objective of mine is I wish to encourage
Jon
Jones to stay round and struggle me. Like, that’s my absolute
dream.”

Nonetheless, Jones is just not the final word objective for the Workforce Kaobon
consultant. His major goal is to seize UFC gold,
whether or not it’s held by Jones or another person.

“It’s not my objective [to face Jon Jones]. I
would like it to occur, [but] my objective is turning into heavyweight
champion,” he stated. “That’s my life objective proper now. However Jon Jones
would simply be an additional bonus. If I might get that, that might be
superb.

“But when he retired, I wouldn’t be like, ‘Jon’s retired, oh, no.’
I’d be upset, clearly, but it surely wouldn’t hassle me. I’ll struggle the
subsequent man who has the title, no drawback.”
