Tom Aspinall, with a record of 15-3, has solidified his place as a force to be reckoned with in the UFC heavyweight division. His recent knockout win over Curtis Blaydes at UFC 304 has propelled him into the conversation as one of the best heavyweights in the world. With his impressive finish, Aspinall has proven that he is a formidable opponent for anyone in the division.
In the co-main event at Co-Op Arena in Manchester, Aspinall wasted no time in asserting his dominance. With a ferocious left hand and precise ground strikes, he dispatched Blaydes in just one minute of their title fight. The win showcased Aspinall’s exceptional finishing ability and left no doubt in the minds of fans and critics alike that he is a force to be reckoned with in the UFC heavyweight division.
Following his victory over Blaydes, Aspinall wasted no time in calling out the undisputed champion Jon Jones. Despite Jones having reservations about fighting Aspinall in the past, the challenge has been laid down. Aspinall’s confidence and self-belief are evident in his post-fight comments, where he proclaimed himself as the best finisher in the UFC. His desire to face Jones speaks volumes about his ambition and hunger to prove himself against the very best in the sport.
For Aspinall, the win over Blaydes was not just about defending his interim title, it was also about redemption. His previous loss to Blaydes in 2022 was a bitter pill to swallow, especially considering it ended due to a freak accident. However, Aspinall’s return to form has been nothing short of spectacular, with three consecutive first-round finishes since his return to the Octagon. The victory over Blaydes not only avenged his previous loss but also cemented his status as a top contender in the heavyweight division.
Looking ahead, the UFC landscape remains uncertain for both Aspinall and his potential opponents. With Jones’s sporadic fight schedule and Miocic’s extended absence from competition, the future matchups in the heavyweight division are up in the air. Despite the uncertainty, one thing is clear – Tom Aspinall has announced himself as a legitimate threat to anyone who stands in his way. His rise to prominence in the UFC has been nothing short of meteoric, and the future looks bright for the interim heavyweight champion.
