Tom Aspinall: A Rising Star
Aspinall has been making waves in the UFC, showcasing his exceptional skills in the heavyweight division. With six victories under his belt, including wins against notable opponents like Alexander Volkov and Sergey Spivak, Aspinall has climbed the ranks steadily. However, a knee injury in 2022 temporarily halted his progress, but his triumphant return against Marcin Tybura earlier this year proved he’s back and hungrier than ever.
An Unexpected Chance
Aspinall’s path to a title shot wasn’t a straightforward one. Originally scheduled as the backup fighter for the main event of UFC 295, he had his sights set on a potential clash with Jon Jones or Stipe Miocic. But with Jon Jones sidelined due to an injury, Aspinall’s journey took an unexpected twist.
The Battle for Interim Gold
Now, Aspinall is set to face Sergei Pavlovich for the interim heavyweight championship. This opportunity could catapult him to UFC stardom and make him a legitimate title contender. Pavlovich, known for his striking prowess and impressive knockout victories, will provide a stern test for Aspinall.
