Henry Cejudo takes exception to Daniel Cormier comparing his Olympic gold medal to Tom Aspinall’s interim title

Henry Cejudo stands by his criticism towards Tom Aspinall’s interim title celebration.

Cejudo mocked Aspinall (14-3 MMA, 7-1 UFC) for breaking down in tears after finishing Sergei Pavlovich to claim the interim heavyweight belt at UFC 295. Cejudo argued that the interim title doesn’t hold weight like an undisputed title, and that it was an overreaction.

Daniel Cormier came to Aspinall’s defense. He said like Cejudo, Aspinall worked his entire life for one goal and should be emotional after achieving such a feat on short notice.
