Also featured on this card are the likes of Paddy Pimblett, Paul Craig, Molly McCann, and Mohammad Mokaev. Join us below as we break down our top 3 bets for UFC London:

Tom Aspinall ML

Once again Tom Aspinall is set to face off against an opponent equipped with a superior skill set to anyone the elite heavyweight prospect has faced before – and once again, we’re going to back him to pull out the win.

Aspinall will square off against Curtis Blaydes, a man many consider to be the best wrestler in the division. However, Aspinall is no novice when it comes to the grappling realms of MMA. He has demonstrated both wrestling and BJJ in his previous UFC fights, especially noticeable against Arlovski and Volkov.

Then there is also the case of Aspinall’s striking. Curtis Blaydes did appear to somewhat fall in love with his hands in his recent bout with Chris Daukaus. However, if he tries to play that game with Tom Aspinall, one has to think that Blaydes will be in for a short night in the office.

Aspinall did initially open as a betting underdog, but has since become the slight favorite, priced at 1.70 by Betway, There is still plenty of value on this line, but if you are looking for even better odds, Aspinall inside the distance is also a solid play.

Paul Craig ITD

This is a simple enough pick. Paul Craig does not go to decisions. The ‘Bearjew’ is a submission specialist, who has submitted some of the very best in the division, including the likes of Jamahall Hill, Nikita Krylov, and Magomed Ankalaev.

Admittedly, his chin is somewhat suspect, but if he is dropped, then his opponents often find themselves diving straight into yet another triangle submission. Craig faces off against Volkan Oezdemir, a hard-hitting veteran who goes into this fight as the betting favorite. Craig will likely be in danger for as long as the fight remains on the feet, but should it hit the mat, watch for the plucky Scot to pick up yet another victory from the jaws of defeat.

Paul Craig to win inside the distance at UFC London is priced at 2.75 by Betway. You could also take his submission prop at 3.00.

Parlay: Mokaev, Jones, Wood

Due to how inflated some of the lines for UFC London have become, our last bet will be a 3 piece parlay.

First is Mohammad Mokaev, one of the biggest prospects in the UFC, who faces off against a promotional newcomer in Charles Johnson. Mokaev is an incredibly skilled fighter with natural athletic ability. His opponent is a solid fighter, but Mokaev will prove that he is simply levels above.

Next is Nathaniel Wood, making his featherweight debut against Charles Rosa. Despite the fact that Wood is moving up in weight, he will be a similar size to Rosa. He also has a more potent round-winning skill set. Watch for ‘The Prospect’ to pick up a late stoppage or decision win in front of his home crowd.

Last, we are backing the only Welshman on the card. Mason ‘The Dragon’ Jones is back, and will face off against ?udovít Klein in the featured prelims. Jones is the considerably bigger fighter, with legit KO power, and a solid judo game to switch things up. Klein is a decent striker, but the versatility of Jones will no doubt be too much for Slovakian.

This parlay is priced at 1.82 on Betway.

Chael Sonnen Claims He Has Become Tom Aspinall’s Official ‘Media Representative’

Former UFC middleweight and light heavyweight title challenger, Chael Sonnen has claimed that he will handle media responsibilities and promotion for heavyweight contender, Tom Aspinall’s upcoming UFC Fight Night London main event outing against Curtis Blaydes on July 23. Aspinall, who has so far enjoyed an impressive run of five consecutive victories during his Octagon […]

Aspinall, who has so far enjoyed an impressive run of five consecutive victories during his Octagon tenure, headlined the most recent UFC London edition back in March – stopping former M-1 Global and Bellator heavyweight champion, Alexander Volkov.

Taking main event status for the first time during his UFC tenure, Aspinall managed to slice through Moscow striker, Volkov in dominant fashion – submitting the Russian kickboxing talent with a first round straight armbar.

Following the victory, Aspinall, who has been touted as a title challenger at heavyweight – at the very least, was paired with the afornoted, Blaydes for the promotion’s July return to the capital.

Chael Sonnen claims he will take over promotion duties for Tom Aspinall

And according to Sonnen, who questioned Aspinall’s ability to self-promote himself, he will now take the reigns as his “media representative” for his summer Octagon return.

“I really am going to handle the media going into Tom (Aspinall) for this fight (against Curtis Blaydes),” Chael Sonnen told The Mac Life. “We’re just going to see what happens. If the audience enjoys it, then we will go from there. Tom fights and trains very well but I wanted to give him the attention he deserves.”

“When I see a guy like Tom that’s 12-2 that now only fought a former world champion (Alexander Volkov), he also stopped him, he needs to be getting attention for that,” Chael Sonnen explained. “I’ll remind you of that main event, it was completely sold out with Tom at the top of the bill.”
According to Sonnen to boot, Aspinall is close to reaching title contender status in the UFC – which would only be bolstered by a victory over Blaydes at The O2 Arena in July.

“Tom gets the credit for that, I don’t know that Tom always goes out and demands that credit though,” Chael Sonnen explained. “I think that Tom is one fight away from being in a world championship spot and not for nothing, they’ve (the UFC) dealt him from the bottom of the deck.”

Aspinall Provides Proof That He Does Not Need Chael Sonnen’s Advice

Tom Aspinall isn’t in need of any advice from Chael Sonnen on being his own hypeman. Tom Aspinall is one of the fastest-rising fighters in the UFC heavyweight division. He is coming off a huge win over Alexander Volkov at UFC London earlier this year and is now set to headline the next UFC London…

Tom Aspinall isn’t in need of any advice from Chael Sonnen on being his own hypeman.

Tom Aspinall is one of the fastest-rising fighters in the UFC heavyweight division. He is coming off a huge win over Alexander Volkov at UFC London earlier this year and is now set to headline the next UFC London event in July.

Things are going well for Aspinall, he is currently ranked sixth in the division, but despite this fact, he is still catching some heat from naysayers.

Chael Sonnen has been picking on Aspinall a bit. He was critical of Aspinall’s approach to the media and promoting himself. Sonnen would like to see Aspinall spend more time promoting himself and less time taking a backseat to other contenders.

Aspinall hit back at him saying he was going to stay true to himself and not put on a fake act as some other fighters do.

In a new interview with Fight & Talk, Aspinall explains why people like Sonnen don’t get his approach and why he doesn’t need to hype himself up: He has the entire UK to do that for him.

“I think that’s what like people like Chael and stuff, the Americans don’t really realize like, I don’t need to act like that because I’ve got a whole country behind me and I don’t think when you’re watching on TV, that doesn’t really come across,” Aspinall explained. “But like when you’re live at an event you can really feel like Oh, this guy doesn’t really need to pick himself up anymore because I’m already big deal, if that makes sense. So I’m just gonna be myself.”

The praise and attention Aspinall and the rest of the UK-based fans at UFC London in March were electric. The event was such a success with a record nine performance bonuses given out, one to every fighter with a finish. Aspinall expects just as much hype the next time around in July. He knows of one person already who is personally trying to make it a homegrown crowd for Aspinall.

“Oh, wait, it’s gonna be twice as bad this time. So my friend from my hometown, he bought 1663 tickets this time, so that’s a lot of people. And then there’s so many it’s just gonna go absolutely off this time,” he explained.

Do you think Tom Aspinall needs to spend more time hyping himself up to the media?
