What they said

Tom Aspinall: "I'm aware of how good this guy is and how big an event this is. My goal is just that, I'm not thinking about anything else.

"He's 6ft 8, rangy Russian, great kicks, great takedown defense, really underrated on the ground as well, done five rounds 70,000 times, I've never done it so he has all kinds of advantages on me.

"But I'm dangerous man, I need to hit you once and that's it. I don't just need to punch you, I can do a whole load of things to finish the fight that nobody has ever seen before. That's a massive advantage."
