Overview
- Aspinall said Monday during DAZN Boxing content with Eddie Hall that Brock Lesnar would be his “dream” or “freaky” opponent because he grew up watching Lesnar in WWE.
- The champion remains sidelined after double eye surgery from his October no‑contest with Ciryl Gane and has had recent scans extend his recovery by additional months.
- The UFC scheduled an interim heavyweight title fight between Alex Pereira and Ciryl Gane for June 14 to keep the division active while Aspinall completes medical clearance.
- Lesnar is 48 years old, has not fought in MMA since 2016, and is currently active in WWE, facts that make a realistic immediate return to the Octagon unlikely.
- Aspinall’s Matchroom ties and Eddie Hearn’s public push for a better contract add promotional and contractual pressure that could shape when and where he fights next.
