Is Tom Aspinall feeling the pressure ahead of his first-ever undisputed heavyweight title defense?
After being promoted from interim to undisputed champion earlier this year following Jon Jones’ “retirement” from the sport, Aspinall is set to put his gold on the line against perennial contender Ciryl Gane this Saturday night at UFC 321 in Abu Dhabi.
Mere hours away from fight night, Aspinall sits as a massive -375 favorite. That, on top of a very public rivalry with Jon Jones and being touted by many as the best heavyweight on the planet, Aspinall could be feeling some serious pressure when he steps inside the Octagon in Abu Dhabi.
