Almeida is confident he will be Aspinall's next opponent

Brazilian mixed martial arts veteran Gailton Almeida, ranked seventh in the official UFC heavyweight rankings, expressed confidence that in his next fight he will fight the interim division champion Tom Aspinall.

“It would be ideal to meet Cyril Gun, but Tom has already touched on the topic of fighting me. So, most likely, I think Tom Aspinall will be next.

This is a very good fight. Aspinall is a complete all-around fighter. The guy moves really well. I believe that our skills are on the same level. Therefore, a wonderful and fair fight awaits us. This is a fight for the belt,” Almeida is quoted as saying by MMA Junkie.

Let us remember that in early November, Almeida defeated Derrick Lewis on points in an extremely boring fight.
