It seems like Eddie’s out here daring Dana to release Tom and promising 3-5x the money… but is holding out really the move?
Tom’s already been out for over 7 months with that nasty eye poke injury from UFC 321.
Two surgeries, endless specialist visits, and still hasn't been cleared to fight.
He’s 33 years old. Heavyweight prime isn’t endless. Every extra month on the shelf is lost pay & lost momentum.
Sitting out even longer hoping the contract expires or UFC caves? Not smart.
Take the champ money, get back in there, finish fights, then renegotiate from a position of strength next time.
Tom’s too talented to let this drag into 2027 or even 2028. Fight now.

🚨 Eddie Hearn says he will NOT let Tom Aspinall fight Alex Pereira or Ciryl Gane under his current UFC deal ����
"I'm not gonna let Tom Aspinall fight for the kind of money that's in his contract. To be involved in a fight against Pereira or Gane, for literally 1/50th of the revenue of that show.
F*ck that, I won't let him do it. It's time that those UFC fighters stop being mugs, and start to understand that these people are taking advantage of them. They deserve better.
I will tell you the number in time. UFC fans will be sick to their stomach about the money that Tom Aspinall is supposed to get for that kind of fight. It's not fair."

@LockedonLAC With Alt & Slaters injuries last yr, do you think they both get rotated in/out the games with their backups, Pip/Taylor to mitigate the injury risk & to keep them healthy throughout the games/ season?
@Daniel_Farinax Yes I saw that on the dashboard of the cock pit. You used several models to to build it. Could you explain that process? Did you use code from 1 model, copy/paste into a different model to get certain results?
The #Chargers and Derwin James have agreed to terms on a massive new extension to make him the NFL’s new highest-paid safety for the second time in his career, sources say.
James gets a 3-year, $75.6M deal. Negotiated by @DavidMulugheta of @AthletesFirst.
@MrTestoestrogen My favorite fight from Roundtree is vs Eric Anders. He was fresh from Thailand & his Muay Thai was A1. I want to see a performance like that vs Ank. Tear them legs up.
@WonderbreadMMA Its taken a legit 100yrs for the NFL to get where it is today. The NFLPA & CBA is older then the UFC itself. They're 2 completely different structured businesses. If the UFC had 32 Billionaires to build it from the beginning, I'm sure it would look alot different.
Security straight trash. Claressa Shields and Alycia Baumgardner were already in each other’s faces.
They should’ve split them up immediately before it turned physical.
And Papoose? Standing right there with that weak little weenie ass hand grab trying to hold his wife back? That wasn’t stopping a damn thing. Now look, y’all have a lawsuit on your hands. MVP did the right thing banning her, but this whole scene was a failure on multiple levels. Also, 100% preventable.

Claressa Shields has been banned from all MVP events after slapping Alycia Baumgardner at the Ronda Rousey fight 😳
Alycia says she’s also taking legal action
@WillHarrisAOAF@francis_ngannou His opponent didn't even get that much. Supposedly it was around $80K - $100K? His pay was so low, Francis gave him his KO bonus.
