UFC interim heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall said he plans to fight Curtis Blades at a rumored tournament in the United Kingdom in July.
"Curtis said he wanted to fight me and I said, 'Great, let's do it'. Now I'm just waiting for the call any minute now and going to the gym twice a day. I like Curtis, but professionally I want to beat him because he defeated me when I was injured.
The place where I'm going to fight doesn't really bother me, but in terms of my preference, I'd like to fight in the UK because it's easier to prepare here. I like the idea of coming back in the summer, it's perfect," - quotes Aspinall Dexerto.
Recall that these fighters have already met in the octagon. In July 2022, the Brit suffered an early defeat in the first round due to a knee injury.
