Summary
Tom Aspinall said UFC has not asked him to attend its June 14 White House event, even though the co-main event will decide an interim heavyweight title linked to his own belt.
The 33-year-old said he does not feel disrespected and would go if invited, adding he expects to watch from home unless UFC changes course.
Ciryl Gane faces Alex Pereira on the South Lawn, with Gane likely earning a rematch with Aspinall if he wins after their October bout ended in a no-contest caused by eye pokes.
Aspinall, who underwent double eye surgery after that fight and is not yet back to full sparring, said he still wants to settle unfinished business with Gane and also sees Pereira as a major future matchup.
