Tom Aspinall admits he needs more experience before fighting for UFC title

Tom Aspinall could be a top-five heavyweight if he gets past Curtis Blaydes at UFC London - but insists he needs more experience before challenging for the belt.

Aspinall headlines his second UFC event in the English capital on July 23 as he faces wrestling standout Blaydes, who only has been beaten once in the last four years. Aspinall picked up the biggest win of his career in his last fight, submitting MMA veteran Alexander Volkov in the first round.

The 29-year-old has a lot of self belief, declaring he is one of the best UFC heavyweights of all time. Despite this, Aspinall thinks he needs to improve as a fighter before challenging for the heavyweight title.
