Curtis Blaydes vs. Tom Aspinall Odds
A future heavyweight title challenger could emerge from Saturday's UFC main event between No. 4-ranked contender Curtis Blaydes and No. 6-ranked Tom Aspinall.
Aspinall has ascended the heavyweight rankings quickly and become one of the more interesting MMA prospects while securing five consecutive stoppages since joining the promotion in July 2020. After defeating Alexander Volkov in March, he’ll look for a second-consecutive win headlining The 02 Arena in London.
Blaydes will close as a betting underdog for the first time in 16 UFC bouts. He has an 11-3-1 record in the UFC Octagon, with all three losses coming by KO or TKO to Francis Ngannou (twice) and Derrick Lewis.
Below, I'll provide my analysis and projections for Saturday's matchup and utilize those factors to bet on the main event.
