Tom Aspinall successfully defended his interim heavyweight title with a devastating first-round knockout victory over Curtis Blaydes in Manchester at UFC 304.
With the heavyweight division currently up in limbo, many would argue that Aspinall is, without a doubt, the best in the division right now.
Heading into fight week, there were a lot of talks regarding the state of the 265-pound weight class. However, Dana White appeared to clear up any confusion and revealed that the victor will face the winner of Jon Jones and Stipe Miocic – with the blockbuster showdown likely to take place at the end of the year.
Following one of the biggest wins of his career, Aspinall will no doubt be cageside for the bout and will be chomping at the bit to face either of MMA’s biggest stars.
After suffering a brutal knee injury in the first showdown with Blaydes two years ago in London, it’s been a long journey back to the top of the sport for the British heavyweight superstar.
The win over ‘Razor’ is a testament to Aspinall and how hard he’s willing to work as he chases his dream of becoming an undisputed champion in the UFC.
