Aspinall claims that fight against Gane 'one of the most exciting heavyweight battles ever will be'
Tom Aspinall, outside of action for more than a year.
Unfortunately for the Brit, however, the heavyweight division is currently one of the most superficial in sport, and there are not many contenders to fight that is useful.
And with that the UFC that Ciryl Gane chooses to fight for the title Next caused some controversy, given that his last fight against Alexander Volkov was a doubtful result that even White should have been admitted to Volkov.
Nevertheless, Aspinall and Gane have some history, because 'Bon Gamin' has rejected the Brit several times.
And with those who are now finally being matched, Aspinall has claimed that it will be 'one of the most exciting heavyweight battles ever', as the two are generally considered the fastest strikers in heavyweight history.
“I think that both I and Ciryl are whole, we both have a niche style for heavyweights, we do not fight as heavyweights, so this can be the fastest, the best moving heavyweight battle that someone has ever seen,” said Aspinall claimed.
“We are both good movers, we are both light on our feet, we are both elusive, so this will be great.
“I think it will be one of the most exciting heavyweight battles ever, we are very evenly matched … It will be a crazy bit of heavyweight action,” he went on.
Aspinall promises to remove Gane from the heavyweight photo forever
This marks the third undisputed title fight of Ciryl Gane in his UFC official period, in which many fans think that it does not deserve relatively.
And with that, Aspinall has sworn for good to remove the heavyweight title photo and to open space for a new competition in the division.
