Preparing to fight Curtis Blaydes has not been a pleasant experience for Tom Aspinall.
Eight months after his insane 69-second knockout of Sergei Pavlovich to claim the interim heavyweight championship, Aspinall will defend his title in a massive co-main event matchup with Blaydes at UFC 304 in Manchester.
The fight will serve as a sequel to their 2022 clash, though that fight only lasted 15 seconds after Aspinall went down almost immediately due to a freak knee injury.
