"Let the Other Dudes Fight" - UFC Legend Urges Tom Aspinall to Vacate Undisputed Heavyweight Championship
Henry Cejudo said Tom Aspinall should vacate the heavyweight title after nearly a year without a defense and an eye injury has kept him sidelined.
- Former UFC champion Henry Cejudo urged UFC heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall to vacate his belt, citing Aspinall's nearly year-long absence since suffering an eye injury at UFC 321 in October 2025.
- Aspinall has not defended his title since suffering a severe eye injury against Ciryl Gane, leaving the division without an undisputed champion for nearly a year.
- To resolve the division, Cejudo advised Aspinall to "give up the title," suggesting interim champion Gane should be elevated to undisputed status.
- Heavyweight Waldo Cortes Acosta, fighting Curtis Blaydes at Noche UFC this Saturday, criticized Aspinall's absence, stating, "For me this is not the champion."
- Cejudo argued that Alex Pereira should face Josh Hokit before receiving another title shot, dismissing an immediate rematch against Gane due to Pereira's wrestling concerns.
