Tom Aspinall calls for Curtis Blaydes title fight with UFC England PPV set: ‘I want to get that one back’

Interim heavyweight champion, Tom Aspinall has vowed to avenge his TKO loss to recent big-winner, Curtis Blaydes – potentially as soon as his next Octagon walk, amid confirmation from Dana White that the UFC is set to return to England this year for a pay-per-view event.

Aspinall, the current interim heavyweight champion, minted himself as titleholder back in November in the co-main event of UFC 295, landing a blistering first round KO win over Russian finisher, Sergei Pavlovich in a reworked clash.
