Tom Aspinall knows he’s in for a tough test against Curtis ‘Razor’ Blaydes.
On July 27, Aspinall will become the first fighter in more than a decade to defend an interim title. The Salford, England native will put his temporary title up for grabs against the only man to have handed him a loss inside the Octagon at UFC 304 in Manchester.
Though their first meeting only lasted 15 seconds, Aspinall recognizes that stylistically, Blaydes is the toughest matchup out there for him at heavyweight.
