Our fight experts, Zane Simon & Eddie Mercado are back to breakdown the UFC LONDON: ‘Volkov vs Aspinall’ Fight Night event. The guys have hot takes, possible next fights, as well as reactions to the overall event.The UFC put their HWs on display tonight in the Main Event of UFC LONDON. The match-up between Alexander Volkov vs. Tom Aspinall ended much more quickly than many had anticipated it would. The rising British star of the HW division from Atherton, Aspinall, was coming at this on a 7-fight win streak, with a record of 11-2, but only ranked #11 in the division. Meanwhile, ‘Drago’, the impressive veteran Russian brawler, ranked #6 in the division, walked into the Octagon with a storied 34-9 record, after coming off a win to Marcin Tybura at UFC 267.In the co-main event, we had a FW scrap between the British contender, ‘Almighty’ Arnold Allen, and the New Zealander, Dan ‘The Hangman’ Hooker. Allen, was intent on extending his 8-fight win streak in front of his home crowd. Hooker had just returned to the LW division after a brief detour at FW.Rounding out the main card, were four additional fights: Just prior to the co-main event we saw LWs Paddy ‘The Baddy’ Pimblett the local favorite from Liverpool & the brawler from Mexico City, Kazula Vargas, go at it in what the UFC was marketing as “The People’s Main Event”.We were also treated to a WW bout, from Gunnar Nelson & Takashi Sato. There was also a FW tilt between Liverpool’s Molly McCann & Brazil’s Luana Carolina. Also worth mentioning, was the LW debut of Ilia Topuria of Spain against Jai Herbert, the British favorite in our main card opener. Our featured prelim tonight highlighted one of many bouts on the card put which put on a performance of the night finish, between Makwan Amirkhani & Mike Grundy in the 1st Rd.For all the results, reactions & much more detail on the main card, with plenty of tidbits about the six-bout prelims card as well, be sure to hit play on the show to hear what our fight experts, Zane and Eddie, have to say.
