Aspinall then inquired about “what would it take”. Marie Daniele at this point was shy and asked Aspinall whether both of them were on the same page “To f**ger me! Are we talking about the same thing”. Marie Daniele goes on to state that she has not done that with an MMA fighter. This is not the first time that Aspinall has made an obnoxious statement. The fighter recently asked the UFC to strip Jon Jones of his title.

Tom Aspinall was not happy with Jon Jones’s sudden absence from the octagon and he was of the opinion that Jones should be stripped of the heavyweight crown. While having a conversation with Michael Bisping he said “Well, I’ve heard nothing from the UFC. I think Jon Jones should be stripped of the title, to be honest because everyone else does when they get injured like that. I don’t see why he’s still got it. I don’t understand that.”

He further inquired  “I think I should be the real champion right now. It’s hard to say without sounding rude but who’s asked about Jon Jones and Stipe anymore. Why do we get to have this legacy fight and they get to live by their own rules?”
