Aspinall commented on the victory over Pavlovich

Tom Aspinall, the newly crowned interim UFC heavyweight champion, commented on his victory over Sergei Pavlovich.

“I can’t put it into words. It's been a crazy two and a half weeks. Oh my god, I just want to tell everyone that if you have a chance to do something but you're afraid, you should damn well do it anyway because maybe it will pay off. Pavlovich is a big and scary guy. I have never been so afraid as I was before this fight. But I hit hard too, and I really believe in myself, I've worked hard for years, and my dad worked even harder with me, so I give this belt to my dad. Honestly, it was hard for me to find the distance, I knew that he had long arms, but in the end everything worked out, I managed it,” said the fighter.

Let us remember that Aspinall needed just over a minute to knock out Pavlovich and become the interim champion.
