Get ready for a thrilling debate! In the world of UFC, a surprising pick has been made by none other than UFC commentator Jon Anik. He's chosen Tom Aspinall over a legendary fighter, and it's got everyone talking.
Tom Aspinall, the current heavyweight champion, is set to defend his title against Ciryl Gane at UFC 321. But here's where it gets controversial: Aspinall believes there's a former fighter who would've ended his reign if they had faced off in their prime.
And this is the part most people miss... Aspinall isn't talking about the usual suspects. It's not Jon Jones or Daniel Cormier, despite their legendary status. Aspinall has his eyes on a different prize.
In a recent podcast appearance, Aspinall revealed his toughest potential matchup: Daniel Cormier, the former UFC champ-champ. Despite their friendship, Anik had to make a tough choice when asked about a hypothetical fight between Aspinall and Cormier.
"Ah! My broadcast partner! I gotta be consistent, Tom Aspinall," Anik said, showing his support for the current champ. But the commentator's decision wasn't easy, especially when considering the names that followed Cormier.
Jon Jones, the fan-favorite demand, and Francis Ngannou, another dream fight, were also on the list. Yet, Anik stood by his initial pick, believing Aspinall could run the gauntlet of heavyweight greats.
"Compelling fight. Tom Aspinall's the answer, every day of the week," Anik declared.
