So pumped for this one! Aspinall’s back in the ring, let’s see how the knee holds up…
the O2 arena is gonna be electric, wish i could be there!
bit surprised at Aspinall’s rank… thought he’d be higher. His return is a big deal. Should make for a great fight!
wait, has it really been a year since that Blaydes fight? Time flies. Hope Aspinall’s ready.
Go Tybura! He’s been grinding since 2016, deserves the win. 7-1 record speaks volumes.
