Interim heavyweight champion, Tom Aspinall appears as close as he’s ever been to moving on from a unification clash with Jon Jones next, claiming the Rochester native is holding up their long-drawn out matchup.
Aspinall, who has been sidelined from action since last summer, most recently co-headlined UFC 304 as the defending interim heavyweight champion.
And avenging his sole Octagon loss in the process in Manchester, Aspinall made light work of veteran contender, Curtis Blaydes, the Atherton native landed a dominant opening round knockout win on home soil.
