Jailton Almeida, the interim heavyweight champion, took to social media expressing frustration with recent lackluster heavyweight fights. He proposed his readiness to fight Tom Aspinall, citing his impressive record that includes 22 wins with 21 finishes. Almeida's comments aimed to reignite excitement in the heavyweight division and also showed interest in a potential backup role for any upcoming title unification bout involving Jon Jones. He acknowledged the competition but remains optimistic about making a significant impact in the division.
Heavyweight fights have been horrible lately. Let's bring back the entertainment and stop holding the division back," said Aspinall, expressing his frustration.
I think I meet the requirements. Champ, if Jones doesn't make a deal with the UFC, I'm here and I'm ready. Let's do it!" said Almeida, calling for a fight.
It would be an interesting fight since he is above me in the rankings and already faced Aspinall, even coming from two defeats before Jairzinho," Almeida on fighting Pavlovich.
I'm more than available," Almeida stated when discussing his interest in being a backup fighter for a potential heavyweight title bout.
