Tom Aspinall has explained why he’s happy with a slow and steady climb up the heavyweight ladder and won’t be calling out the division’s elite just yet. Aspinall was last in action at UFC Vegas 36 on September 4. In the co-main event of a European-heavy card, the Englishman decimated Sergey Spivak inside one round. […]

Tom Aspinall is taking things slowly in his UFC career.
Aspinall continued his unbeaten streak in the promotion with an impressive first-round TKO win over Sergey Spivak on the UFC Vegas 36 main card last night.
It was not only a win against a fellow contender in the heavyweight division, but also meant Aspinall maintained his 100% finishing record as he is yet to truly compete in the second round, let alone make the third round in his career.
Given his momentum, he could have easily shot his shot and called for a higher-ranked opponent next. Aspinall is different, however.
Instead, he wants to slowly take out anyone ranked above him in his path one at a time and grow as a fighter rather than leapfrog a contender thanks to a hype machine.
That means a potential meeting with Blagoy Ivanov could be on the cards — something Aspinall is all for especially as Ivanov is the kind of fighter who will push him to his limits.
“Do you know what? I would love to fight Blagoy Ivanov,” Aspinall told BT Sport (via Middle Easy). “He does test you. He’s really durable, he’s really, really experienced and that’s what I need.
“I need someone who can push me a little bit and take me to three rounds, I wanna do three rounds.”
Although Ivanov is on a two-fight losing streak, they were split decision defeats to Derrick Lewis and Augusto Sakai. Having never been finished by knockout in his career, Ivanov is certainly one of the most durable fighters in the division.
Being the first to finish Ivanov in the UFC would certainly be a feather in Aspinall’s cap.

UFC heavyweight prospect, Tom Aspinall, is backing his former sparring partner, Tommy Fury, ahead of a potential fight with YouTube celebrity turned professional boxer, Jake Paul.
‘The Problem Child’ stretched his perfect record to 4-0 with a split decision win over Tyron Woodley this past weekend. On the undercard of that fight, Tyson Fury’s brother made it seven wins in a row since going pro when he beat Anthony ‘Pretty Boy’ Taylor over four rounds.
Post-fight, Paul and Fury clashed backstage. A fight between the two men appears to be on the table, provided Woodley fails to deliver on his tattoo promise.
Aspinall is due to square off against Sergey Spivac at UFC Vegas 36 this Saturday. Ahead of the bout, the 28-year-old spoke with The Schmo about his previous sparring sessions with ‘TNT’.
“I think Tommy Fury will beat Jake Paul, personally,” Aspinall said. “Tommy Fury used to knock me all over the place when we used to spar. We used to have some bad sessions… Tommy Fury, he can take a few shots, definitely, so he’s gonna beat Jake Paul.” (Transcribed by Sportskeeda)

Usually capable of stopping his opponent with his hands, in relatively timely fashion to boo, Team Kaobon mainstay, Tom Aspinall grabs a career-highlight victory over former UFC heavyweight champion, Andrei Arlovski — submitting the veteran with a second round rear-naked choke.
Improving to 10-2 professionally and 3-0 in the UFC, scoring finishes in each of them — the Wigan native landed some notable damage in the opening round on the feet, splitting the Belarusian’s nose in the early goings. Appearing quite strong in the clinch, Aspinall utlisied the fence to control Arlovski for the majority of the opening frame.
Shooting with a somewhat surprising double-leg early in the second, Aspinall pushed Arlovski back to the fence again, before taking his back with ease, slipping in a swift rear-naked choke and forcing the tap.
Whilst admitting event headliners, Curtis Blaydes and Derrick Lewis are above him, Aspinall noted his interest in facing the winner of tonight’s scrap between Chris Daukaus and Aleksei Oleinik.
Below, catch the highlights from Aspinall’s third Octagon victory since his debut last summer.
