Welcome to Midnight Mania!
Tom Aspinall remains to be a relative thriller heading into his fundamental occasion conflict with fellow heavyweight contender Curtis Blaydes this coming weekend at UFC London. That’s as a result of Aspinall’s time inside the Octagon has been restricted up to now and his previous fights haven’t introduced him with the chance to indicate off each wrinkle in his recreation.
Throughout UFC London’s media day on Wednesday, Aspinall claimed that he has solely displayed 10 p.c of his complete blended martial arts (MMA) arsenal. Contemplating the surging English fighter is 5-0 inside the Octagon with key wins over Alexander Volkov and Andrei Arlovski this needs to be downright scary to any opposing heavyweight.
“I simply have a lot that I’ve not proven, and other people don’t know what to anticipate. Nobody’s received any concept. Curtis, or anybody else within the heavyweight division, doesn’t know what I carry to the desk, as a result of I’ve not proven it but,” mentioned Aspinall. “I’ve proven 10 p.c of my recreation, as a result of my octagon time is so brief. Nobody has actually seen what I can actually do. So I’ve a lot that no one is aware of about, which is an enormous benefit to me.”
Aspinall, who turned 29 this previous April, could possibly be one win away from a UFC heavyweight title. If he’s in a position to defeat Blaydes in entrance of a raucous U.Ok. crowd this weekend on ESPN+ then he might line himself up for some UFC gold. That might be fairly unbelievable contemplating he made his Octagon debut slightly below two years in the past and has solely seen a second spherical as soon as.
“I’m a winner. That’s what I care about. I wish to win,” he mentioned. “Don’t care how I win, however I’m a fierce, fierce competitor. I’m fiercely aggressive, and I’m attempting to win. That’s it.”
