Tom Aspinall kept it short and sweet — perhaps because the real work is yet to come.
After UFC CEO Dana White announced that Jon Jones was retiring at the UFC Baku post-fight press conference, Aspinall reacted to the news — as well as being elevated to undisputed heavyweight champ — in a brief statement on Instagram.
“For you fans. It’s time to get this heavyweight division going,” Aspinall wrote. “An active undisputed champion.”
Aspinall became the interim heavyweight champion with a first-round stoppage of Sergei Pavlovich at UFC 295.
