Horrible news aspinall pulled out so now he’s getting replaced by the pullout god Sergei pavolovich. I doubt Sergei stays booked long enough to fight

Never mind actually, aspinall is on the card still but different opponent. Cant say I’ve ever seen that happen before 

I would assume he wants to fight up but I think he’s either fighting blagoy, volkov, daukaus (I really hope not because HW desperately needs prospects) or blaydes

I wonder what’s happening with Aspinall. They’d obviously want to give him a good fight for his hometown fans. Either that means super winnable or a big name…

Exactly, very weird thing to see. They must be giving him a big name; maybe headlining because we still have no idea about till vs hall? If that were the case they’ve gotta be giving him volkov or someone on the same level

Apparently he's staying on the card but is fighting someone else. That's most likely false imo but it's what I heard. It's a move I disagree with because other than Volkov, Stipe and Blaydes, there's no one above Aspinall that is free. I highly doubt they give him Stipe and imo Volkov vs Blaydes 2 should be next so I really don't know what is going on.

I’ve heard from bigmarcel who is 100% reliable. I think volkov is the most likely option because he’s basically the gatekeeper at this point (no offense to him of course)

Yeah would make sense to do Volkov vs Aspinall. Wouldn't even be shocked if it ends up being the main event tbh. It's a very good fight stylistically

Btw, you called it my man. Aspinall vs Volkov to headline this card per Brett Okamato. It got announced about 10 minutes ago. Excited for that fight for sure. Great test for Aspinall

Volkov vs Tom is very interesting tho. Haven’t seen Tom past the second round and we know volkov has the cardio but aspinall is the new wave of HW. 

On another note also interested to see pavolovich back (if he doesn’t pull out) he shouldn’t be ranked but he’s a fascinating prospect. Longest reach in the ufc, high volume striker, wrestling background and 5 round fight experience. Only problem is he’s fought dog**** competition but current version of shamil isn’t that much of a step up

Wow yeah no idea who id pick I feel like Tom is smarter than Chris d and won't try to go for a challenge that is beyond him.

I mean I’d be lying if I said I didn’t want to see the fight because they are the perfect matchup for one another but I could not take 5 rounds of that. Would much rather see 3 on a ppv or co main for this card

And yeah my main concern is volkov is durable as ****. Tom isn’t gonna be able to ko him like he did spivak and volkovs tdd is like 95% since he put on all that muscle so it’s gonna be very difficult for Tom to try and sub him too. He’s quite big himself so volkovs size shouldn’t be too much of a problem and I think Tom has the bigger reach too. fascinating fight  

Edit: wow volkovs tdd is actually 100% on 21 attempts since gaining 20 extra pounds so no way Tom takes him down
