Dana
\nWhite<\/a> has pushed back against the idea that he doesn\u2019t like
\nTom
\nAspinall<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This comes after Aspinall vacated the
\nUltimate Fighting Championship<\/a> heavyweight title amid ongoing
\ncomplications from an eye injury that prevented him from returning
\nto competition. He has also linked up with Eddie Hearn, who has
\nrepeatedly criticized aspects of Aspinall\u2019s contract and the UFC
\nmodel.<\/p>\n

The UFC boss explains why fans may have gotten the wrong idea
\nabout Tom Aspinall<\/h2>\n

Speaking after UFC
\n331<\/a>, White dismissed suggestions that he has a personal issue
\nwith the former champion. He acknowledged Aspinall\u2019s injury and
\nrevealed that the Brit is seeking further medical advice.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo, that\u2019s not the case,\u201d White said at the post-fight presser.
\n\u201cIt\u2019s the furthest thing from the truth. He\u2019s going through stuff
\nwith the doctor. He knows it\u2019s going to be a while before he comes
\nback. This is totally normal.\u201d<\/p>\n

White claims that certain misunderstood comments and reactions may
\nhave created the impression that the two don’t get along.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think because of what I might have said or what he might have
\nresponded to, what I said after the thing, that people think that I
\ndon\u2019t like Tom,\u201d White added. \u201cIt\u2019s the furthest thing from the
\ntruth. I have no reason to not like Tom. Tom\u2019s never done anything
\nfor me not to like him.\u201d<\/p>\n

White emphasized that if he doesn\u2019t like someone, it\u2019ll be clear to
\nall.<\/p>\n
