Former mixed martial arts fighter Oleg Tactarov named fighters who could pose a threat to the UFC’s interim British heavyweight champion Tom Aspinella .
At UFC 304 in Manchester, interim heavyweight champion Aspinall will defend his title against American Blaydes in the evening’s co-main event.
— For Tom Aspinall, three people now pose a threat: Jon Jones, Stipe Miocic (and even then, he is not a very big threat) and Alexander Volkov. Curtis Blaydes is not one of them. If Aspinall competes in the UK, these threats become even less, because English fighters show their best condition on their island. With Aspinall, you have to compete far from England and be prepared for the fact that you are not afraid of their terrain and are completely focused on the position.
Here, too, he can show something interesting, but nevertheless, as a standing fighter, he is strong only because people are afraid of being caught by him. If Volkov is not afraid of being caught, he will be stronger than him in a standing position. I am sure that in this case he will win against Aspinall. He is unlikely to knock you out, but he rolls well. Jon Jones will cut off his oxygen in all positions, and Miocic can force a tough fight, but he has not competed for a long time, had injuries and has not competed for a long time. I do not see any competitors for Aspinall anymore. Blaydes is a good top-ten fighter, but there is nothing surprising in him, “Taktarov told the Vprognoze.ru correspondent.
