It is wild to think that once a location is secured, the puzzle pieces of a fight card begin to come together.
UFC Manchester is a gift to the English fan base that they truly deserve, and it could potentially be Curtis Blaydes vs. Tom Aspinall fighting in the Octagon.
The heavyweights have slowly become a wasteland; a forgotten place that has a deep history.
To add Curtis Blaydes vs. Tom Aspinall to the fight card would bring back the nostalgic feelings. Sure, there’s no denying that Jon Jones is the current world champion – Blaydes vs. Aspinall would be for the interim.

Curtis Blaydes is on the cusp of finally fighting for a world title. Blaydes’ hard work has been truly inspirational.

For Curtis Blaydes, his rise has been a grind. There has been no easy path; it has only been straightforward through legends and pure devastation.
Blaydes would be walking into enemy territory, but to achieve eternal glory in MMA it is a test we can see Blaydes up for.
Tom Aspinall is a beast, a young juggernaut, a titan… the list is endless on how to describe the man who has blitzed the UFC’s heavyweight division.
It is great to see Tom Aspinall trying to push the heavyweight division and his career forward.
