Tom Aspinall scored the biggest win of his career at UFC 295, dispatching knockout artist Sergei Pavlovich just past the one-minute mark to claim the interim heavyweight world championship.
Aspinall and Pavlovich stepped into the co-main event slot with just two weeks to prepare after undisputed titleholder Jon Jones was forced to withdraw from his scheduled headliner against consensus heavyweight GOAT Stipe Miocic following a pectoral injury sustained during training.
Winning his first UFC title, Aspinall was understandably overcome with emotions. However, not everyone was in the mood to celebrate the big man’s big win, including former two-division champ Henry Cejudo.
