Curtis Blaydes vs Tom Aspinall Betting Tip
With this being such a big fight to potentially find out who the next UFC heavyweight title contender could be, there is so much value in the betting markets for punters to place their wagers on this mouth-watering main event from UFC London.
This fight is by far and away the toughest of Tom Aspinall’s UFC career. The Salford man, who trains out of Team Kaobon in Liverpool, has had just five fights since making the move over to the UFC, winning them all.
The 29-year-old is now ranked at number six in the UFC heavyweight rankings, meanwhile Blaydes is ranked at number four. Of Aspinall’s five fights in the UFC, he has won three by knockout in the first round, meanwhile the other two he has won by submission in the first and second round respectively.
Last time out, Aspinall faces Alexander Volkov, who is a UFC heavyweight stalwart contender, but Aspinall showed no respect for him whatsoever, finishing him via an armbar submission in the very first round.
Aspinall has won 75% of his professional MMA fights by knockout (9/12), which shows he carries devastating power in both fists as well as in his kicks. Aspinall will be hopeful of grabbing his tenth stoppage on Saturday night, and here at SportsLens, we think he will do just that.
Blaydes is a devastating puncher in his own right, with 11 knockouts in his 16 wins as a professional mixed martial artist. However, all three times that the 31-year-old has suffered defeat, it has been by knockout.
Blaydes has been stopped twice by current UFC heavyweight champion, Francis Ngannou, as well as getting halted by Derrick Lewis last year. Although both Ngannou and Lewis are arguably the two biggest punchers in the heavyweight division right now, Aspinall’s speed and shot selection will be difficult for Blaydes to deal with.
Although this is his toughest test, Tom Aspinall is the real deal. Do not be surprised if he beats Curtis Blaydes in devastating fashion, whether than be via knockout or submission.

Curtis Blaydes vs Tom Aspinall Best Bet
Our ‘Best Bet’ for the Blaydes vs Aspinall fight at UFC London on Saturday night is quite a daring one, but one which presents exceptional value to gamblers.
As we have already alluded to, we fully predict that Tom Aspinall will win this fight by KO/TKO or submission. However, for our best bet selection we are going to go one further and predict when that finish will come.
Aspinall is yet to go to the judges scorecards in his UFC career, and we can’t see that being the case on Saturday night either. Although two of Aspinall’s last three fights have been won via submission, we can’t see that happening at the weekend, as Blaydes himself has an astute ground game and is dangerous on the mat. Aspinall will likely keep the contest on the feet, and throw big kicks and punches at the head and body of ‘Razor’, trying to break him down minute by minute.
Of Aspinall’s 9 knockout victories, every single one of them has come in the first round. This definitely isn’t a coincidence, as it is clear to see that the 29-year-old likes to get going early, and not give his opponent a minute to think. As Blaydes has operated at the highest level of heavyweight MMA for years, we think it may take a bit longer for Aspinall to break him down.
This is why for our best bet we have selected Tom Aspinall to win by KO/TKO in Rounds 1 or 2 of this UFC heavyweight contest. This can be backed at a price of around 4/1 with Betfred, which seems like sensational value considering how many knockout victories Aspinall has in his short but fruitful UFC career to date.
Blaydes himself will be looking for the knockout, therefore leaving himself open to being caught, which isn’t the ideal scenario against someone with the striking level of Tom Aspinall.
