I represent the UFC world heavyweight champion... His contract is a f--ing disgrace, a disgrace. And I cannot believe the money that he is on. When you look at the commercial revenue that his fight would generate against a Pereira or against a Gane in a rematch. Honestly, if I'm Tom Aspinall, I'm looking at that contract, I'll go, 'I don't think you should even f--ing bother me.' But he wants to come back... By the time you've paid your tax and paid your time, there's no f--ing point in even fighting.
"And dessert," he joked during Wednesday's UFC Houston media day, admitting that "I like too much sugar. [I] eat everything." Delija (26-7) is looking to bounce back from a weird loss to Waldo Cortes-Acosta that he was not a fan of. The fight was initially stopped with what looked like a TKO finish for the Croatian heavyweight, but was later restarted when it was ruled Cortes-Acosta had been victim of an eye poke. Delija was knocked out shortly after.
