Aspinall explained why he is picking Blades over Ghana

Alexandr Ormanji April 9, 2024, 9:52 a.m.

Tom Aspinall, interim UFC champion, said in a recent interview that his next opponent will be either Cyril Gun or Curtis Blades. The Brit also noted that he would personally like to fight Blades. A little later Tom explained his choice.

"The reason I got the fight with Pavlovic is because Cyril didn't want to fight him and turned him down. Then he turned down Curtis Blaydes. The man himself was on record saying that. I asked Ghana for the fight years ago, he didn't want it then. Then when I asked him in Paris, they flew to me, we tried to make the fight happen, but in the end he turned it down again. We'll see what the UFC will do."
