Tom Aspinall has been called in at late notice and will face Sergei Pavlovich in New York City on Saturday night for the UFC's interim heavyweight world title
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.
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.
