Alan Baudot will be keen to make a big splash in the heavyweight division, and his record suggests he’s capable of doing just that. Fighting Aspinall on the big stage serves as a major step up in competition and could be his opportunity to break out. Not to mention, the heavy-handed French fighter has significant hand speed that could be a deciding factor.

The landscape of the heavyweight title picture is sketchy, to say the least without a clear timeline of events. Moreover, stringing together statement performances could be the ticket to enter the relatively shallow pool of contenders. The weight class has traditionally been log jammed with veterans at the top, and the division is always hungry for new blood.

The grizzly Englishman, Aspinall has a wide arsenal of switch kicks, steep kicks, and great distance management. He’s constantly fighting on the outside and looks to snipe at his opponent. The distinct advantage he’s showcased is that his sniping usually amounts to a violent KO.

Baudot has shown some defensive irresponsibilities and is a wild man under the bright lights of the cage. He is quick to close cover distance and mount off an offense that usually overwhelms his opponents. When facing a technical brawler like Tom, he’ll have to be on top of his game and maneuver the cage carefully.
