Tom Aspinall’s sparring partner had him in tears after a successful Ultimate Fighting Championship debut.
Aspinall was in attendance when Ante Delija made his promotional debut against Marcin Tybura at UFC Paris at the Accor Arena in France last weekend. The Croatian knocked Tybura out in the first round, avenging a previous loss dating back 10 years. Aspinall and father Andy, the head coach at Aspinall BJJ, were visibly emotional after Delija’s win. This prompted a UFC cameraman to question Aspinall about his reaction.
Aspinall: ‘It Means So Much to Him’
“Because it means so much to him,” Aspinall replied.
