Den 30-åriga engelsmannen Tom Aspinall blev inatt ny UFC-interm-mästare i tungvikt. Aspinall besegrade den topprankade ryssen Sergei Pavlovich via knockout i den första ronden på UFC 295 Madison Square Garden i New York City, USA.
Aspinall gjorde sin UFC-debut mot tungviktaren Jake Collier på UFC on ESPN 14 år 2020. Sedan dess har engelsmannen radat upp sju segrar i den världsledande MMA-organisationen. Segern mot Pavlovich på UFC 295 var 30-åringens femte knockout-seger i UFC.
Tom Aspinall har hyllats av MMA-fans på sociala medier efter hans knockout-seger. UFC-mästaren i tungvikt Jon Jones passade också på att hylla engelsmannen för hans fantastiska insats. Enligt UFC-chefen Dana White kommer Jones att ta sig en Stipe Miocic någon gång under nästa år. Se reaktionerna från MMA-världen nedan!
