UFC Manchester: Tom Aspinall’s Homecoming

Interim UFC heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall has confirmed that he will be fighting at UFC Manchester this summer. The news comes after UFC president Dana White expressed his desire to include Aspinall and welterweight champion Leon Edwards on the card of a planned pay-per-view event.

Aspinall, speaking on his TikTok, revealed that he recently had a meeting with the UFC where it was confirmed that he would be competing at UFC Manchester. He expressed his excitement to be back home and is currently preparing for the upcoming fight.

Last November, Aspinall claimed the interim title and it appears that he will be defending it in the absence of champion Jon Jones, who is sidelined due to injury. Although Aspinall attended UFC 300 in Las Vegas, he is now in the early stages of his training camp in England.

The UFC is reportedly targeting a date at the end of July for the event. While Aspinall did not disclose the name of his opponent, he mentioned that he is eagerly waiting for them to accept the fight.

One potential opponent for Aspinall could be American fighter Curtis Blaydes, who previously defeated Aspinall in London in 2022 due to a knee injury suffered by the Englishman.
