UFC Fight Night tips: Tom Aspinall firm favourite but Poland’s Marcin Tybura will be no pushover
Tom Aspinall will be looking to mark his UFC return in style when he takes on Marcin Tybura at the O2 Arena in London on Saturday night.
One year on from sustaining a nasty injury in his fight against Curtis Blaydes, Tom Aspinall (12-3) returns to the UFC cage.
"I never thought it would happen in a fight," said Aspinall, as quoted by ESPN.
The Pole may be about to turn 38 in a few months' time, though with seven wins from eight fights to his name, Tybura is in a good run of form and can pose Aspinall some questions.
Despite this, Aspinall is a favourite for a reason. While he may have been out of the octagon for a year, the Brit has enjoyed a terrific start to his UFC career, winning his first five fights with the organisation before the Blaydes loss - four of those wins coming in the opening round.
We expect Tybura to pose a good challenge, though our recommendation is to back Aspinall to get the job done in front of 17,000 of his home fans.
