“Waited a long time for Conor McGregor” - Tom Aspinall fires back at Michael Chandler comparisons

Tom Aspinall does not like to be compared to Michael Chandler, who has waited long enough to fight former UFC double champion Conor McGregor. Aspinall appeared on a recent episode of the Good Guy / Bad Guy podcast, during which he dismissed such comparisons.

The Brit fired back at the fans contrasting him with Chandler, stating that he is willing to fight all the elite heavyweights rather than wait for champion Jon Jones, unlike 'Iron', who has been hoping to fight 'The Notorious' even after their UFC 303 bout was canceled after McGregor's withdrawal because of a toe injury.

Aspinall said:

"I've seen a lot of people comparing me to Michael Chandler. [He] waited a long time for Conor McGregor. I'm not waiting for one fight, I'm not trying to fight one guy, I'm trying to fight all the guys. I'm trying to be the guy at heavyweight who takes out everybody."

He added:

"It doesn't matter who it is, Ciryl Gane, [Alexander] Volkov rematch, [Jailton] Almeida, Derrick Lewis, Brock Lesnar. Whoever it is, I don't care. Let's not talk about Jon Jones anymore. I'm the active guy. I'm going to fight somebody, and that's gonna be announced pretty soon."
