British UFC star Tom Aspinall has been criticised by fighting legend Chael Sonnen for his humility in talking about the heavyweight title.
Sonnen was famously outspoken throughout his iconic career in the sport, with some arguing that he talked his way into world title fights that he hadn't earned with his performances. And he feels that Aspinall approaches the media like a "13-year-old fan" who doesn't understand how to go about getting himself to the top of the promotion.
Aspinall has said on a number of occasions that he is solely focused on his next opponent; No.4-ranked Curtis Blaydes. He and Blaydes will headline The O2 arena in London in July, but the winner is not expected to be automatically inserted in an interim title fight as the division waits for Francis Ngannou to return next year.
