“Tomorrow is his big night. It will clear up any doubts. If he wins (in the UFC London), you will reach the top 5. Once in the top 5, you will face the best in the world. He will be in the conversation for a future title fight,” said White, in an interview with 'MMA fighting'.

This weekend, Aspinall, 28, will reach the milestone of 13 appearances in his professional MMA career. Today, the athlete has 11 wins and two losses. In Ultimate since 2020, the athlete is undefeated in four commitments.

Today, Tom occupies 11th position in the ranking led by Francis Ngannou. If you overcome Alexander Volkov, the fighter could make a significant leap in the category.

An MMA veteran, the Russian 'giant' will be responsible for trying to 'spoil the party' for the 'home' athlete. In front of a mostly English audience, the fighter will need to ignore the adverse crowd to defend sixth place in the division and once again dream of a title fight.
