McGregor has been waiting two years to return to the octagon, and it was recently announced by UFC president Dana White that Michael Chandler will be his opponent. Nevertheless, as coaches on The Ultimate Fighter, they will be pitted against one another in the lead-up to the battle.
Tom, a professional mixed martial artist from England, is not particularly keen to see Conor fight again, and he cannot understand why there is so much excitement surrounding the Irishman’s return to the sport when there are so many other things to get excited about right now.
Conor McGregor has called Tom Aspinall a “mush head rat” in a since deleted tweet.🤣

During an interview, the heavyweight Tom, who is currently 5-1-0 in UFC, discussed several topics, including Conor and many others, with Jamal Niaz. According to the English fighter, people should be more excited about the bout between Leon Edwards and Kamaru Usman which is going to be held in London in UFC 286.
“Honestly, I’m not that interested in it. I’ll still watch it but I’m kind of over McGregor, to be honest. For me, there are way more exciting fights out there than that. The heavyweight fight coming up that I’m super invested in, the London card, Leon Edwards, I could sit here and name them all day. There are another 20 fights I’m more interested in. Will I watch it? Yeah, but if it gets canceled, I won’t be upset about it.” said Tom Aspinall.

Despite the fact that the former champion of two different divisions is now in Las Vegas, Nevada for the filming of the 31st season of The Ultimate Fighter, he did not ignore Tom but rather responded to him in a brutal manner through tweets.
“Bum p***k. Say sayonara to that GK [Gym King] deal kid. Starve you and kill you, I will you f***ing disrespectful p***k. Don’t ever speak my name in disrespect again. Mush potato head. Mush head rat keeps your comments to yourself.” Conor tweeted.
