British heavyweight Tom Aspinall made a triumphant return to MMA with a devastating first-round knockout of Marcin Tybura in the main event of Saturday's UFC Fight Night at the O2 Arena, almost a year to the day after tearing his MCL.
Aspinall's last visit to the octagon ended after just 15 seconds of his bout against Curtis Blaydes as his knee gave out, and he almost brought his comeback fight to a close at the same mark with a head kick that wobbled his Polish opponent.
"It's been a really tough year for me," Aspinall said in his post-fight interview before outlining how he overcame his struggles. "My mind is different, my body is different, and I'm going all the way." "I'm going to go to Paris, I'm going to be sat in the front row for Cyril Gane and Serghei Spivak, I'm going to beat the winner, and then I'm going to beat Jon Jones," the 30-year-old said.
