Aspinall called himself a fan of Volkov

Tom Aspinall, number 10 UFC heavyweight, explains why he agreed to fight Alexander Volkov, the fifth number of this rating.

“In many of my interviews, I said that I don’t want to rush. Therefore, many did not understand why I agreed to this fight. The fact is that recently I lost loved ones and realized that we all live once. I am a fan of Alexander Volkov. A fan since the days when he played at Bellator and was a champion there. You know, opportunities like this don't come along every day," Aspinall said on the air of the MMA Hour.

The duel between Tom Aspinall and Alexander Volkov will take place on March 19 in London and will head the UFC Fight Night 204 tournament.
