Tom Aspinall has enjoyed the stir around his return to the Octagon.
The interim heavyweight title holder has not fought anymore since he eliminated Curtis Blaydes from UFC 304 in July.
Since then he has been waiting for the chance to unite the division against the other UFC Heavyweight Champion, Jon Jones.
More than 180,000 impatient fans have signed a petition in which it is called to be stripped 'Bones', while Tom Aspinall has made some angry by announcing a new sponsor after teasing 'heavy -weight news' on social media.

Tom Aspinall laughs at 'announcement' drama
On Tuesday, TNT Sports dropped a new advertisement for 'Tom Aspinall's Fight Lab' show.
It showed the hard -handy Englishman who promised a 'massive announcement' while ominating music played.
The co-host of Aspinall, Adam Catterall, tries to explain that fans can incorrectly interpret what he says.
The 31-year-old, however, continues to promise big news in a hilarious skit that laughs at his recent faux pass.
Aspinall added: “Huge announcement. You won't believe it, it's huge.
“The biggest announcement you have ever seen.
“The biggest announcement I have ever made in my life, ever.”
What is the next step for Tom Aspinall?
On Monday, Tom Aspinall claimed that Jon Jones was 'retired' during a Bombshell interview.
The productive KO artist also declared himself the undisputed heavyweight champion before he revealed that he has a date and location for his next UFC fight.
“Guys, why are we still talking about Jon? He is retired. He is ready,” said Aspinall on the Good Guy / Bad Guy Podcast organized by Daniel Cormier and Chael Sonen.
“I said a long time ago,” I'm going to retire Jon without even fighting him “. That is what happened.”
Aspinall added: “You will see really quickly.
“This is exciting times for the heavyweight division. We get some movement. People literally forget that heavyweights exist. Nobody has fought so long, this is crazy. We have a man who keeps it up.
“That is old news. The active champion heavyweight is here to fight them all, let's set it up.
“I'll tell you something. I have a date and a location.”
