Daniel Cormier Urges Tom Aspinall, UFC to Resolve Feud

Daniel Cormier wants Tom Aspinall and the UFC to resolve their differences, as Aspinall is currently sidelined after double eye surgery.

The winner of the interim heavyweight belt fight between Alex Pereira and Ciryl Gane will unify the belt with Aspinall, but only if Aspinall's contract issues are resolved.

Aspinall's manager, Eddie Hearn, has stated that his client will not fight under his current UFC deal.

Daniel Cormier believes that the UFC needs Tom Aspinall, citing his status as the best heavyweight in the world and the excitement he brings to fights.

Cormier expressed his eagerness to see Aspinall back in the ring, saying "every time Tom Aspinall fights, it's amazing, and it's fun, and he's just a beast".

Aspinall is yet to be cleared for sparring after accidental eye pokes by Gane resulted in their October UFC 321 title fight being a no contest.

The UFC Freedom 250 event will feature Alex Pereira and Ciryl Gane fighting for the interim heavyweight belt, with the winner expected to unify the belt with Aspinall.

Daniel Cormier's comments came during Wednesday's UFC Freedom 250 media day, where he emphasized the importance of Aspinall and the UFC resolving their differences.

The feud between Aspinall and the UFC has been ongoing, with Aspinall's contract issues causing uncertainty about his future in the UFC.

Aspinall's injury has also been a concern, with the double eye surgery forcing him to take time off from fighting.

Cormier's comments suggest that he values Aspinall's presence in the UFC and believes that it is essential for the organization to resolve their differences.

The outcome of the interim heavyweight belt fight will be crucial in determining the future of the heavyweight division, with Aspinall's potential return hanging in the balance.
