"I mean, who else is going to fight? The division's on its ass. There's not many big fights to make, is there? So they've got to do what they've got to do. Obviously, I want to fight the winner of that."
"Just waiting now to get the green light, the all clear from the doctor to start training properly again. As soon as we can start training properly again, full contact in the gym, we will be getting a fight date booked to fight the winner."
"As soon as the doctor clears me, we'll let the UFC know and we'll be looking to book a fight soon as possible."
Tom Aspinall is recovering from eye surgery following eye pokes sustained during his title defense against Ciryl Gane at UFC 321 in October. While still on the mend, Aspinall acknowledges the UFC's decision to book an interim heavyweight title fight between Pereira and Gane at UFC White House on June 14, recognizing the limited options in a depleted division. Aspinall intends to face the winner of that bout once he receives medical clearance to resume full contact training. He is waiting for his doctor's approval before notifying the UFC and scheduling his next fight, emphasizing his readiness to return as soon as physically cleared.
