Tom Aspinall’s next outing will be on the UFC Manchester card this summer.
The UFC was rumoured to be planning a Fight Night event in Manchester for July, but UFC president Dana White recently revealed it has been upgraded to a pay-per-view show.
“I have an English heavyweight champion and lots of other European stars, but two champs now out of England,” he said, referencing interim heavyweight champion Aspinall and undisputed welterweight king Leon Edwards.
“We’re going to England, we’re coming! I’ve got great fights lined up for the UK fans, and I’m excited to get back there.
“Literally in days [we’ll make an announcement], we’re right there working on this stuff.
“We’ve got some badass plans for England: numbered card, pay-per-view, a great one.”
Aspinall has stated his intentions to defend his belt while the UFC pushes ahead with Jon Jones vs Stipe Miocic for the full world title.
