8 months agoTom Aspinall (14-3) is set to defend his interim heavyweight title in the co-main event of UFC 304 against Curtis Blaydes on Saturday in England. Aspinall is coming off a first-round knockout win over Sergei Pavlovich in November to win the interim title. This fight serves as a rematch as the two fought in 2021 but just seconds into the fight, Aspinall tore his knee. Heading into the bout, Aspinall is a sizeable favorite as DraftKings has him at a salary of $9,400. In the UFC, Aspinall is 7-1 with all seven wins by stoppage. Should Aspinall win, he's been guaranteed to fight the winner of Jon Jones vs. Stipe Miocic.

1 year agoTom Aspinall (13-3) is set to fight Sergei Pavlovich for the interim heavyweight title in the co-main event of UFC 295 in Madison Square Garden on Saturday.

Heading into UFC 295, Aspinall is a slight favorite as DraftKings has him at a salary of $8,200 while in his seven UFC fights, he's averaging 93.65 fantasy points per outing. Aspinall has finished all six of UFC wins with five of them coming in the first round.
