MANCHESTER, England – Tom Aspinall and Curtis Blaydes are ready to battle for the interim heavyweight title after squaring off for the final time at UFC 304 ceremonial weigh-ins.
After their first meeting ended in 15-second injury TKO win for Blaydes (18-4 MMA, 7-1 UFC) when Aspinall (14-3 MMA, 7-1 UFC) blew out his knee, the pair will run it back Saturday at Co-op Live (ESPN+ pay-per-view, ESPN2, ESPN) – but with the stakes much higher.
Aspinall and Blaydes have shared the utmost respect leading into fight night, and that didn’t change during their final faceoff.
