main star of UFC London, the English Tom aspinall does not want to disappoint its fans, who will be filling the stands at the O2 Arena. In an interview with 'Combate', the heavyweight prospect (up to 120,2kg) showed a lot of respect for his rival, Curtis blaydes, said he is ready to fight five rounds, if necessary, but believes he can emerge victorious with a knockout next Saturday (23).

“This is definitely the most important fight of my career. I think he has a very difficult style, his style complicates everyone, and the UFC matchmakers told me that no one wants to fight with Curtis blaydes. They offered this fight and a lot of people said no, so it's a big deal that I accepted a fight that nobody wanted,” said Aspinall.
The prospectus of the division led by Francis Ngannou believes he is capable of fighting for five rounds, if necessary, but made it clear that, if given the opportunity, he will knock out his opponent.
“I don't want to get to the fifth round, but, for sure, if he wants to, I'll be prepared for it. And I believe he thinks the same, I don't think anyone really wants to do a full five round fight. If you can get a knockout in five seconds instead of having a 25-minute fight, I think most people would prefer that, but I'm prepared to fight all five rounds if I have to,” said Tom.
Number sixth in the rankings, Aspinall debuted in July 2020 in the UFC and, since then, has achieved five consecutive victories, all via the fast track. The English fighter has a record of 12 triumphs and two setbacks as an MMA professional.
