Tom Aspinall has told\u00a0Ciryl Gane to stop acting like an ‘entitled rich kid’ as the heavyweight continues to duck a fight with the British UFC fighter.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Aspinall returned from injury to defeat\u00a0Marcin Tybura in July, and is now looking for a shot at the division’s title, but has dismissed the claims from rival Gane that he deserves a title shot.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Gane has fallen short in his two previous attempts at title glory, but has ambitions of his own of getting another title fight, despite ducking out of a bout against Aspinall.\u00a0<\/p>\n
However, Aspinall believes the Frenchman is not being realistic with his claims and is not making the wisest decisions.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘I don’t know, the guy’s acting like not the wisest move in my opinion,’ Aspinall told TNT Sports<\/span>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Tom Aspinall has called out Ciryl Gane over his claims for another heavyweight title shiot\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The French fighter has ducked a fight with Aspinall and wants another chance at a title\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The British UFC fighter returned to the ring in July following a year out with a knee injury\u00a0<\/p>\n ‘Not not taking the fight against me, but his whole outlook on stuff. It’s very, it reminds me of a private school, entitled rich kid.<\/p>\n ‘He fought for the title against Ngannou. He was the interim champion and he fought the legit champion – he lost that fight. Then he came back against [Tai] Tuvasa, had an impressive win, straight back to a title fight.<\/p>\n ‘He fought Jon Jones, lost the Jon Jones fight really easily. He didn’t put up any resistance. You can’t then beat the No. 8 or 9 guy and go straight back to fight Jon Jones. That’s not how it works.<\/p>\n ‘You’ve had two goes, you lost them both. You need to do a little bit more.’<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Jon Jones is the reigning UFC heavyweight champion and takes on Stipe Miocic next month\u00a0<\/p>\n Aspinall will have a keen on eye on the main event of UFC 295 next month as world heavyweight champion Jon Jones battles\u00a0Stipe Miocic, and has previously stated he’d like to face the winner of that clash in his next fight.\u00a0<\/p>\n Yet, having just returned after a year-long lay off from the Octogan following a serious knee injury, the 30-year-old is ready to take on anyone.<\/p>\n Adding: ‘Right now I’m training twice a day, staying ready for anything. I’ll be ready for anyone when we can, throw me in with anybody.<\/p>\n ‘From here on going forward, I’m ranked No.4. They’re all tough fights, give me anybody. I’m healthy, I’ve had a year off with my knee, let me fight somebody. I’ve called out all the guys who are available – what else can I do?’<\/p>\n
