"I don't know. I mean, we gotta go home and look and see what's next, but, you know, obviously those are the kind of guys [Tai Tuivasa] you should be calling out. He's [Tom Aspinall] gonna end up in the top five after this performance." said Dana White.

Tom Aspinall explains the reasoning behind his callout
During his time at the post-fight press conference, Tom Aspinall revealed the motivation behind calling out 'Bam Bam' for a fight. The 28-year-old praised the Australian's style and said the matchup would be a delight for MMA fans.
"The reason why I called out Tai is, first of all, I'm a massive fan of his style. Second of all, massive fan of his personality. The crowd goes wild when he fights and apparently, the crowd goes wild when I fight. So, me and him in the UK, come on bro, what a good time that would be. Let's line it up [for] next UK card, get me and Tai on, please," said Aspinall.
Both Tuivasa and Aspinall are currently riding five-fight win streaks in the UFC. There is a possible scenario where the two heavyweights could be matched up next for a potential number one contender's fight.
