Whilst his services are unlikely to be required this weekend ahead of UFC 309, interim kingpin, Tom Aspinall is prepared to step up in the final minutes to save a headliner between Jon Jones and former champion, Stipe Miocic.
Aspinall, the current interim heavyweight champion, has been sidelined since he successfully defended said crown back in June, co-headlining UFC 304 in his native Manchester.
Avenging his sole organizational defeat in the process, Atherton finisher, Aspinall made light work of Curtis Blaydes with a brutal first round knockout win in the pair’s rematch fight.
