And the UFC made the unprecedented decision to post the ESPN interview, which had a simple thumbnail including a picture of Aspinall and "he's retired" emblazoned across it, on their official YouTube channel for their 21 million subscribers to watch. Their sharing of the video, which isn't a huge surprise given ESPN are the current owner of the promotion's North American broadcast rights, set fight fans' chins wagging.
