UFC Fight Night: Brunson vs Till will see a heavyweight match-up between Tom Aspinall and Sergey Spivak go down in the co-main event of the card. Both fighters are currently riding an impressive winning streak. Each will look to enter the upper echelon of the division with yet another win this weekend.
The fight against Spivak will be the Englishman Aspinall’s fourth fight in the UFC. He has won all 3 of his fights in the promotion so far, all by finishing his opponent. T/KO finishes against Jake Collier and Alan Baudot and a submission win against Andrei Arlovski in February has given the 28-year-old a brilliant start to his career in the UFC.

But Spivak is very well-rounded as well. He has good striking and a solid grappling base to fall back on in case needed. That might cause some problems for Aspinall. However, we expect the British heavyweight to emerge victorious using the advantages he holds in the stand-up department.
