[autotag]Tom Aspinall[/autotag] is the UFC interim heavyweight champion after knocking out Sergei Pavlovich this past Saturday in the UFC 295 co-main event.
It was quite the showing and accomplishment under the circumstances as heavyweight champ Jon Jones was forced out of his scheduled title defense vs. Stipe Miocic because of pectoral injury expected to sideline him at least eight month. UFC CEO Dana White said prior to and reiterated after UFC 295 that the plan is still to re-book Jones vs. Miocic when Jones is ready. Aspinall, though, made a case that he deserves to fight Jones not just with his performance but also his post-UFC 295 plea to have his “dream” fight with Jones.
Do you wish the UFC would reconsider the Miocic fight and book Jones vs. Aspinall instead? Our “Spinning Back Clique” panel of Mike Bohn, Nolan King and special guest John Gooden answered that question with host “Gorgeous” George Garcia.
