Interim UFC Champion Tom Aspinall is not a phenomenal fighter, he can be defeated, says ACA heavyweight belt holder Yevgeny Goncharov .
On Sunday night, Aspinall knocked out American Curtis Blaydes in the co-main event of the UFC 304 tournament in Manchester. The heavyweights have already met in July 2022. Then, due to Aspinall’s knee injury, Blaydes won in the 15th second.
“We saw a good performance from Tom Aspinall, a quick victory. But the question arises about stopping the fight. At first it seemed to me that there was a right hand in the arm, but the replay showed that the right hand did not hit the target, but it was a blow. And after the missed blow, it was clear that Blaydes was still ready to defend, that he did not float. For me, this is an early stoppage. Yes, the judges know better, but Blaydes could still have some work. Although … It would have almost no impact on the final result. Initially, it was clear that Aspinall was the favorite, and Blaydes, after his knockout defeats, would most likely not be able to withstand the firepower of the Briton. And how to fight with Aspinall … Beat him and do not let him fight when he wants to, try to translate somewhere yourself. Yes, he is certainly a good fighter, but there is nothing extraordinary about it. Even today, Blaydes was hitting. You can work with everyone. The main thing is good preparation,” Goncharov told .
