The highlight of the entire tournament will be a heavyweight duel. As the UFC did not stop the Russian athlete, Alexander Volkov, who will face Tom Aspinall, may go into action. The former managed to defeat Marcin Tybur in a recent duel, but now he encounters the undefeated Englishman Aspinall.
–
According to the bookmakers, the Wigan native is a paper favorite, as he has never lost in the prestigious UFC. While Volkov is used to long fights in most matches, with Aspinall it is exactly the opposite. The 28-year-old heavyweight has never scored for referees in his career, in most cases his matches end in the first round. Will a fast KO come, or will Aspinall score for the first time?

The performance of Paddy Pimblett, who experienced a winning premiere in the UFC last year and wants to get to the title chance of light weight, will also be extraordinarily monitored. Many speak of him as Conor McGregor’s successor, but he is still a long way from such fame and achievements. The English beater will now share it with the highly experienced Mexican Rodriguez Vargas.
–
The nine-year-old wrestler has been with the UFC since 2019, and since then he has entered into three duels, during which he has won once. This is one of the reasons why Pimblett is in the role of a clear favorite, but he had to deal with the inconvenience a few days before the duel itself. At the hotel, the Englishman went to the mill with Ilia Topuria, who will also appear on the main card.

Footage of the incident went online, and one of the footage shows a bottle of disinfectant flying through the air. “This is what happens when you insult me and my country. You should thank my team, because if he wasn’t there and he didn’t drag me away, I’d rip your head off. This isn’t Twitter, boy, this is real life, “Topuria said shortly after the incident.
–
For the third time in less than a year, Dan Hooker will also appear in the cage again. The 32-year-old New Zealander is trying in vain to hit the winning wave, he has lost three times in the last four duels and suddenly fell to eighth place in the spring. In London, he will face a neighbor from the rankings, seven of them Arnold Allen.
–
He has not lost in the UFC yet, as he has won all eight matches. It must be added, however, that in most cases it was a win up to points, and just such a scenario is also expected in a duel with a more experienced Hooker.
