Blades ready to rematch Aspinall in Manchester

Top American heavyweight Curtis Blades has expressed his willingness to fight interim division champion Brit Tom Aspinall at UFC 304, scheduled for July 27 in Manchester.

"I'm hopeful, but I'm not expecting anything. It would be cool to fight him. That fight makes sense. All I have to do is prepare. By July, I'll be ready. There are times when a fight makes sense, but they do something else instead. I wouldn't be surprised if the UFC invites Brock Lesnar to Manchester. I'll be upset, but it won't be a surprise. A fight in England? I don't really care. I like England, even though the ventilation sucks there. They don't have it for some reason. I don't know why," - quotes the words of Blades MMA Fighting.

Recall that the first fight between Blades and Aspinall took place in the summer of 2022. Then Tom capitulated at 15 seconds because of a knee injury.
