Tom Aspinall will take a huge stride towards becoming UFC heavyweight champion if he can beat Sergei Pavlovich at Madison Square Garden on Saturday night.
The pair will meet at the iconic venue as their fight takes place instead of the heavyweight title fight between world champion Jon Jones and Stipe Miocic was c alled off due to a pectoral injury suffered by Jones. Aspinall made a successful return to the Octagon in July, beating Marcin Tybura at UFC London back in July following a year out with a knee injury.
Having risen to the top five of the UFC rankings in the heavyweight division, Aspinall's path to a potential world title seems to be getting ever closer. He faces Pavlovich, who has won six successive fights via knockout and the Russian's physical presence will pose an imposing threat to Aspinall's more technical and speed oriented skillset as a heavyweight.
