On March 9 at UFC 299 in Miami, USA, Blades defeated Jailton Almeida by technical knockout in the second round. Following the win, the American challenged Aspinall.
"I believe Tom Aspinall and I have some unfinished business. I would love for us to meet again. A fight with Tom would be my next fight," Blades was quoted as saying by BJ Penn.
"I don't need to be told twice. I'm ready," Tom responded on social network X.
