At UFC London in March, Aspinall took on the Russian heavyweight fighter Alexander Volkov in the main event. The 29-year-old looked pretty confident going into the fight.

Aspinall took only 3:45 minutes of the first round to submit the ‘Drago’ via a straight armbar. He also won the ‘Performance of the Night’ bonus for this victory in his home country.

Previously, the record was held by one of the pioneers of women fighting and former UFC champion Ronda Rousey. She took only 17 minutes and 23 seconds to finish her five consecutive UFC fights. That means Aspinall beat Rousey by 3 minutes and 1 second to become the fastest UFC fighter to finish five fights in a row.

With this win, the 29-year-old improved his undefeated UFC record to five wins. He will return to action this weekend to further his undefeated run in the promotion.
