Conor McGregor threatens to ‘kill’ Tom Aspinall after the heavyweight revealed he wasn’t interested in his comeback fight
Conor McGregor sent an extreme threat towards UFC heavyweight Tom Aspinall after the Brit stated he was not interested in McGregor’s comeback fight against Michael Chandler.
The Irish superstar is in Las Vegas, preparing to undergo weeks of filming the upcoming season of The Ultimate Fighter with Chandler. After the show concludes, the pair will get to settle their differences that occur during the show inside the octagon.
The return will mark McGregor’s comeback fight after suffering a gruesome ankle injury at UFC 264 to Dustin Poirier. The loss to Poirier outlined back-to-back defeats to the former lightweight interim champion. It meant McGregor has still only won one fight since his lightweight title win over Eddie Alvarez in 2016.
Tom Aspinall admits his disinterest for the return of Conor McGregor
Aspinall, who is hopeful of returning from his own injury he suffered last year, revealed he’s not eagerly excited to watch McGregor’s return, telling Jamal Niaz: “Honestly, I’m not that interested in it. I’ll still watch it, but I’m kind of over McGregor to be honest.”
“For me, there’s way more exciting fights out there than that. The heavyweight fight coming up that I’m super invested in, the London card, Leon Edwards, I could sit here and name them all day.
“There’s another 20 fights I’m more interested in. Will I watch it? Yeah, but if it gets cancelled, I won’t be upset about it.”
