Aspinall said, “I’m really excited about this fight… I would definitely agree with that statement. He’s definitely the most exciting fighter in the UFC. I will tune in to every single one of his fights. I think he is unbelievable to watch.”

Additionally, the Manchester-based fighter also commented on the technical skills that ‘Highlight’ has. The 29-year-old added, “From a technical standpoint. His technique is definitely there. A lot of the times he chooses not to use it for some reason. He must be a coach’s nightmare because he goes full brawl mode, which is awesome for us fans. I’ll tune in to every one of his fights. I’m a massive fan of his but yeah the technique sometimes goes out of the window, which is great to watch and I’m mega excited to watch his fight tonight”.
