Aspinall Shares Thoughts on Legacy
“The legacy that I want to leave is that I was an entertaining fighter with a really high fight IQ, that I believe I don’t get any credit for just yet, and that I would fight anybody and have never turned down a fight in my life,” Aspinall told the UFC.
Aspinall has left no doubt in the entertainment aspect, having finished all 15 of his career wins, going past the first round only once. While he was the interim champ, Aspinall was originally looking for a title unifier against Jon Jones, who retired earlier this year before re-entering the drug testing pool in hopes of fighting at the White House. Aspinall’s only loss in the UFC came via a knee injury against Curtis Blaydes, which he avenged in his last outing.
