Tom Aspinall’s Dominant Return Sets Him Up for Future Heavyweight Championship
Tom Aspinall proved once again why he is a force to be reckoned with in the UFC Heavyweight division. In his highly anticipated return at UFC London, Aspinall wasted no time in dispatching Marcin Tybura in just 73 seconds. The victory showcased Aspinall’s skills and potential, earning praise from fans and experts alike.
Aspinall’s year-long absence from competition due to a torn ACL did not hinder his performance. In fact, he looked better than ever, displaying his striking prowess and finishing ability. His coach, Javier Mendez of American Kickboxing Academy (AKA), expressed his belief that Aspinall is destined for greatness.
Mendez stated, "Based on everything I see, Tom Aspinall is 100 million percent going to be the future Heavyweight champion. People underestimate how great he is. He’s a sparring boxing champion and has been boxing for a long time. He’s thoroughly dominated everyone he’s faced in the UFC. He’s the future champ, no doubt."
The prospect of a showdown between Aspinall and current titleholder Jon Jones has captured the imagination of fans worldwide. However, with Jones expected to retire after his upcoming title defense against Stipe Miocic at UFC 295, Aspinall may have to wait for his shot at the gold. Mendez believes that with more experience, Aspinall could pose a serious threat to Jones.
While Aspinall’s future is bright, he still has hurdles to overcome. Other top contenders like Sergei Pavlovich are also vying for a chance at the vacant title. Aspinall’s performance at UFC London has undoubtedly elevated his status in the division, but he will need to continue proving himself against tough competition.
In conclusion, Tom Aspinall’s dominant return at UFC London has solidified his position as a rising star in the Heavyweight division. With his impressive skills and the backing of his coach, he is on the path to becoming a future champion. While a matchup against Jon Jones may be a dream for fans, Aspinall will need to continue honing his abilities and facing top contenders to earn his shot at the title.
