Tom Aspinall put on a dominant performance in his first-ever main event headliner against Alexander Volkov at UFC London. Aspinall dominated the fight right from the beginning as he landed a three punch combination which rocked Volkov early on. Aspinall then followed up with a takedown and landed some brutal ground and pound. While Volkov was able to get back on his feet, it didn’t last long as he got taken down again and this time, Aspinall was able to submit the 6’7 Russian.
Tom Aspinall called out Tai Tuivasa during the post-fight octagon interview with Michael Bisping.
