Former UFC middleweight champion Robert Whittaker recently praised Tom Aspinall, highlighting his remarkable achievements in the Octagon. Aspinall is set to defend his interim heavyweight title against seasoned competitor Curtis Blaydes in a much-anticipated rematch, which will serve as the co-main event of UFC 304. This pay-per-view event is scheduled for July 27 at the Co-op Live arena in Manchester, England.
Their first encounter at UFC Fight Night London in July 2022 ended abruptly after just 15 seconds when the 31-year-old British fighter sustained a serious knee injury that kept him out of action for a whole year.
