Former UFC heavyweight champion Junior dos Santos thinks Tom Aspinall is the real heavyweight king.
Aspinall is the current interim heavyweight champion as he scored a first-round knockout over Sergei Pavlovich back in November. The current heavyweight champion is Jon Jones who won the title in March with a submission win over Ciryl Gane but has not fought since then due to injuries.
Given that Jones hasn’t fought in a year, dos Santos views Aspinall as the real heavyweight champion.
“He’s the man of the moment, so he should be considered the champion,” dos Santos said on MMA Fighting’s Trocação Franca podcast.
