Pros react after Tom Aspinall stops Marcin Tybura in 73 seconds at UFC London

Today’s UFC London event was headlined by a heavyweight matchup featuring Tom Aspinall taking on Marcin Tybura.

Aspinall (13-3 MMA) was returning to action for the first time in twelve months, this after suffering a knee injury which required surgery in his most previous effort against Curtis Blaydes. That disappointing setback had snapped the Manchester native’s eight-fight winning streak, which included five straight wins inside of the Octagon.

Meanwhile, Marcin Tybura (24-8 MMA) entered today’s headliner sporting a two-fight win streak, his latest being a unanimous decision victory over Blagoy Ivanov. Prior to that, the 37-year-old Polish fighter had earned a majority decision win over Alexander Romanov.

Tonight’s UFC London headliner proved to be a short-lived affair. Tom Aspinall was able to score an early knockdown thanks to a perfectly timed right hand. From there, the Manchester native proceeded to deliver some heavy ground and pound which forced the referee to step in and call a stop to the action. It was a perfect fight for Aspinall, and one that puts him right back in the heavyweight title picture.
