UFC star Tom Aspinall didn't book after-party as he expected to be in hospital

Tom Aspinall refused to organise an after-party for his UFC London fight with Alexander Volkov as he expected a trip to the hospital.

Aspinall made quick work of Volkov in the English capital last weekend, submitting the Russian in the first round with a straight armbar and improving to 5-0 in the UFC. The 28-year-old has since moved up to No.6 in the heavyweight rankings after the win.

Volkov entered his main event clash with Aspinall on the back of a decision win against Marcin Tybura. The heavyweight giant hadn't been submitted in over a decade, but Aspinall took him to the ground with ease and quickly locked up his arm to force a tap.
