Give Tom Aspinall the UFC Heavyweight Title Shot

The Issue

Tom Aspinall’s the longest-reigning UFC interim champ ever at 567 days, this is an outrageous stat. Here's how things work when we have an Interim champion, the so called "real champion" fights him and unify the belts. Bruce Buffer even called him "The Undisputed" when he was fighting 42 year old Stipe at UFC 309, while Aspinall, the interim champ, sat on the sidelines. That’s straight-up disrespect! Tom’s 15-3 with a 100% finish rate, smashing top dogs like Sergei Pavlovich and Curtis Blaydes. He won the interim belt at UFC 295 and defended it like a starboy, yet he’s still waiting. Over 150,000 fans have backed calls for Tom to get his shot, and he’s said he’s done defending the interim belt—he wants the real one.
Jon Jones has fought once since 2023, while Tom’s been active, knocking out elite heavyweights. The UFC gave Jones his chance as the youngest champ; now it’s Aspinall’s turn to shine in the hills. We demand the UFC book Tom Aspinall for the next heavyweight title fight or vacate the belt. Let’s make the dawn break for the true king! Sign now! #AspinallForTheTitle
