Preparing for a return next weekend at UFC 304, interim heavyweight champion, Tom Aspinall has laid out a rather honest gameplan of how he would approach a long-mooted fight with Alex Pereira – and it involves a grapple-heavy attack.
Aspinall, the current interim heavyweight titleholder, returns next weekend in the co-main event of UFC 304 in Manchester, with the Atherton native attempting to avenge his sole Octagon loss as he rematches perennial contender, Curtis Blaydes over the course of five rounds.
Winning the interim crown on short-notice last November on the same card as Pereira’s light heavyweight title coronation, Aspinall stopped the streak of Russian knockout ace, Sergei Pavlovich with his own staggering knockout win.
