For the second time in four months, Tom Aspinall will step out as a headliner in front of 17,000 fans at the O2 Arena on Saturday, taking on Curtis Blaydes in the main event of UFC London.

Aspinall’s run through the heavyweight division has been searing, the Wigan heavyweight going 5-0 in the UFC with stoppage wins in the first or second round each time out. Most recently, the 29-year-old (12-2) submitted Alexander Volkov in Round 1 at the March edition of UFC London, making light work of the veteran in what was Aspinall’s first UFC main event.
