The UFC 304 event in Manchester, England will feature a homegrown hero.
We found out earlier today that Tom Aspinall will take on Curtis Blaydes as a co-main event at 304, alongside the bout between Leon Edwards and Belal Muhammad.
BetOnline.ag set odds for that fight, and now has five matches up for the highly-anticipated event on July 27.
Aspinall is claiming that Blaydes is the only man willing to fight him.
“I’m in a bit of a strange conundrum with my division,” Aspinall said in a video posted to his YouTube channel shortly after the announcement. “Usually, when the champ is coming back, the interim would obviously usually fight the champ. Jon Jones is holding sh*t up. Let’s be honest. He’s playing games. So it’s me and Curtis Blaydes.”
From MMA Junkie:
He revealed Blaydes was not the promotion’s Plan A. According to Aspinall, the UFC told him they wanted to book him against Ciryl Gane. Aspinall said he accepted, but Gane (12-2 MMA, 9-2 UFC) did not.
