Blades: "I hope the fight with Aspinall happens."

Top UFC American heavyweight Curtis Blades answered a question about a potential bout with interim division champion Tom Aspinall.

"I don't have any news, but I think something is coming up. Usually it all depends on whether the fans are interested in the fight or not. And it looks like the fans are interested in seeing a fight with me for the first time ever, so I hope it happens," Sportskeeda quoted Blades as saying.

On March 9 at UFC 299, Curtis put his career back on track by defeating Jailton Almeida by knockout.

Recall that Blades and Aspinall have already met in the octagon. In July 2022, the Briton capitulated in the first round due to a knee injury.
