Aspinall, who was thoroughly impressed by Khamzat Chimaev’s victory, shared his thoughts during an interview with Red Corner MMA. He stated, “The guy is incredible, absolutely incredible. To do that to Rob Whittaker, honestly it just inspires me to be better. Because you go in there and dominate a former champion like that, that easy, without taking any shots. Being completely one-sided. Inspiring man, the guy is incredible… He’s definitely gonna be a champion.”
