🚨 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."

A false narrative that Rafa Jodar shoved a ball girl at Roland Garros went viral
He didn't. She trips over the poorly placed tarp while he's gesturing to his father in the crowd

‘I didn’t touch her. No, no, no… I could never do that’
🚨 Eddie Hearn just asked Dana White to release Tom Aspinall from his UFC contract 😳
"I would like Dana White to release Tom Aspinall from his UFC contract. I will guarantee Dana that I will pay Tom Aspinall a MINIMUM of 3 times more what Dana White is paying him.
Dana White should be happy for Tom Aspinall to receive that deal. [Aspinall] is extremely unhappy... unfortunately for him, he has signed a contract which is one of the worst, most grossly underpaid athletes I have ever seen.
It's absolutely disgusting what they're paying him. Things need to change."
