Tom Aspinall made a successful return to the octagon after a knee injury by overwhelming Marcin Tybura in just over a minute at UFC London and announced his plans to face the winner between Ciryl Gane and Serghei Spivac and then fight Jon Jones.
Tom Aspinall ended the night triumphantly at London’s UFC event, sending spectators into celebration with his swift victory. This was Aspinall’s return to the octagon after a grueling year-long recovery from a catastrophic knee injury. Displaying an epic comeback, he faced Marcin Tybura in the main event at UFC London on Saturday. Aspinall’s performance was truly remarkable as he effortlessly overwhelmed Tybura, defeating him in just over a minute through a dominating series of strikes.
Footage of Aspinall’s electrifying finish can be found online. The referee called the match in Aspinall’s favor just 1:13 into the opening round due to his overpowering strike force. Aspinall commenced the bout with an audacious high kick that only narrowly missed. He continued the attack with a series of explosive body kicks before delivering a powerful right-handed punch to Tybura, whom is known for his resilience. This punch kicked off the sequence that ultimately ended the fight. Aspinall seized the moment, and moments later, his victorious return from his devastating injury was confirmed.
After his triumphant return, Aspinall went on to share his ambitious plans for the future. Upon receiving the microphone, he confidently made two bold predictions. He declared, “I’m going to Paris, I’m going to sit front row for Ciryl Gane and Serghei Spivac. I’m going to beat the winner of that fight, and then I’m going to beat Jon Jones.” This victory consolidates Aspinall’s strong record in the octagon, moving to 6-1. However, this win disrupted Tybura’s own two-match winning streak.
