Tom Aspinall opens as slight betting favorite over Sergei Pavlovich in UFC 295 interim title fight

Tom Aspinall is favored by oddsmakers to claim interim heavyweight gold against Sergei Pavlovich at UFC 295.

After an injury to champion Jon Jones derailed his planned title defense against Stipe Miocic at the UFC’s 30th anniversary show on Nov. 11 at Madison Square Garden in New York, the promotion changed course and booked Pavlovich (18-1 MMA, 6-1 UFC) vs. Aspinall (13-3 MMA, 6-1 UFC) for the interim belt.

Although Pavlovich is riding the superior wave of momentum with a six-fight knockout streak inside the octagon, oddsmakers gave Aspinall the edge when setting the opening line for the contest.
