UFC London: Tom Aspinall jokes with Marcin Tybura as heavyweight rivals weigh in

Posted by Lorie Orum on Saturday, May 4, 2024

Aspinall weighed in at 258lb compared to Tybura's 246, looking more muscular than in previous UFC bouts.

Going into the contest with Blaydes last year Aspinall had finished all five of his UFC fights, with four of them ending in the first round.

Aspinall's success in the UFC saw him rapidly climb to fifth in the heavyweight rankings with Tybura five spots below him in 10th.

Tybura, 37, has won 11 of his 17 bouts in the UFC and is on a two-fight win streak.

He last fought against Blagoy Ivanov in February, earning a decision unanimous decision victory.

"I know you guys come here to support Tom, he's a great guy. But I've come here with a dream and I'm going to finish him," said Tybura.

Liverpool's Molly McCann was pulsing with intensity as she weighed in for the flyweight co-main event against Julija Stoliarenko.

McCann's face went red as she screamed "come on" on the scales, before confronting Stoliarenko in a stare-down.

Both fighters are looking to bounce back from defeat with McCann, 33, losing to Erin Blanchfield in November and Stoliarenko, 30, suffering the same fate to Chelsea Chandler in October.
