Liverpudlian finisher, Tom Aspinall certainly isn’t hanging around when he steps into the Octagon. Making his second appearance on ‘Fight Island’ following a forty-second knockout win over Jake Collier – Aspinall scored a similarly impressive stoppage over short-notice replacement, Alan Baudot with a ground-and-pound barrage.
Facing the Factory X Paris trainee on short-notice following the shelving of a matchup with fellow prospect, Sergey Spivak – Team Kaobon trainee, Aspinall improved to 9-2 professionally with his second UFC win of the year.

Below, catch highlights of Aspinall’s quickfire victory over Baudot.
