The heavyweight teammate of Tom Aspinall has officially signed a contract with the UFC and will make his promotion debut against the former enemy of Aspinall.
Just a few weeks ago, Tom Aspinall became the undisputed UFC Heavyweight Champion after Dana White announced that Jon Jones was officially retired.
And after the official announcement, Aspinall set itself the goal of becoming the greatest heavyweight of all time, the division promised to get moving again after months of uncertainty.
Not long afterwards, former UFC -Interim champion Ciryl Gane teased that a title fight against Aspinall could be the next, where there were not many other contenders.
And now with him in the UFC heavyweight selection is his huge Croatian teammate, Ante Delija.

Ante Delija booked to combat the former enemy of Aspinall
In 2022, Delija won the PFL Heavyweight Tournament Championship and took $ 1 million in the process. Nevertheless, he was unable to replicate his fortune in the following years and left the promotion earlier this year.
The Croatian hunter then participated in FNC 22 against former UFC Heavyweight Yorgan de Castro and cut it out in the first round.
Subsequently, a few weeks ago it was announced that the UFC Delija broke up together with various other former world champions in the final round of austerity and signing sessions.
Initially it was not announced who would fight Delija in his promotion debut, but last Tuesday it was announced by Pawel Wyrobeek that Delija will record Marcin Tybura on 6 September on 6 September.
Tybura shared the cage with Aspinall in 2023 and was brutally beaten in the first round. After he bounced back with a few victories, he was linked earlier this year to Aspinall's other teammate Mick Parkin.
Tybura took Parkin's unbeaten record with a controversial decision, of which Aspinall thought his teammate won comfortably.
