Tom Aspinall once ignored Meta CEO Mark Zurckerberg’s message! The interim heavyweight champion of the UFC will be waiting to go one-on-one against Curtis Blaydes on July 27. Having won the interim belt a few months back, Aspinall has been waiting for his opportunity to get himself a shot at Jon Jones’ title. Unfortunately, that has not happened as of now.
The primary reason being Jones’ disinterest in agreeing to a fight with Aspinall. Jones will instead be facing Stipe Miocic, probably in November. Meanwhile, appearing in an interview recently, Tom Aspinall spilled the beans on how the Brit ignored Mark Zuckerberg once.

Feeling embarrassed, Aspinall reminisced about the moment, saying, “The guy we were speaking with was talking about Mark Zuckerberg and was saying, 'I think he follows you.'
