“Maybe a little, I don’t know. It's difficult to say like that. If he's being paid well to make films, I don't know what his aspirations are. He might actually want to be an actor. This could be his thing. So he's thinking, 'F*ck this MMA stuff. I'm going to be French Arnold Schwarzenegger here. I'm going to continue with this.' Good luck to him. I have nothing against Ciryl. He had a few opportunities to fight me and he refused. That is the fact,” said Aspinall.
