Tom Aspinall names two huge UFC fights he wants nextDAZN

British UFC heavyweight fighter Tom Aspinall has named the two fights he is looking for in the coming months.

Aspinall stopped Marcin Tybura this July and has already made it clear who he is looking to next.

He will be cageside for UFC Fight Night in Paris on Saturday evening, and hopes to take on the winner of the headline event between Cyril Gane, fighting in his home country, and Moldovan contender Serghei Spivac.

In November in New York, Jon Jones takes on Stipe Miocic in a title defence for the American, and Aspinall also plans to attend that clash in order to put himself in the frame for the winner there, against the heavyweight champion.

"They are the two options, I don't have to look too far or worry about a million different people," Aspinall told the BBC of his plans.

"I can fight the winner of Gane and Spivac, or I fight [Sergei] Pavlovich."

He added: "There's going to be a pre-injury Tom and a post-injury Tom, it's two different people. l.

"I've convinced myself I'm going to be UFC heavyweight champion, simple as that.

"I believed it [before] but I had imposter syndrome, maybe. I was just kind of enjoying the journey and I think I was still in disbelief that I got to where I am.

"I feel like I'm starting again, it's a new bit of my career. This next seven, eight, nine years or whatever until I retire will be my best."
