Tom Aspinall ranks one UFC knockout as the best of his MMA career.
The interim heavyweight champion is currently waiting to unify the division against Jon Jones.
UFC CEO Dana White has 100 percent guaranteed that their fight will go down at some point in 2025.
While he waits for a return date, Tom Aspinall has looked back at the biggest win of his UFC run to date.
Tom Aspinall reflects on Sergei Pavlovich KO
In November 2023, Tom Aspinall got a last-minute call to face Sergei Pavlovich at UFC 295.
The Russian phenom had picked up six consecutive first-round KO wins to establish himself as the heavyweight division’s top contender.
Still, Aspinall needed just 69 seconds to knock him out cold when they battled for the interim gold.
“Probably Pavlovich,” he said when asked to name his favorite KO during a recent interview with FightRoom.
“I took the fight on short notice, I wasn’t in shape, flew across the world. Like, everything was against me in that fight, and I still managed to do it.
“At that time, Pavlovich was on a six-fight, first-round knockout streak.
“He was just smashing everybody. So, I think Pavlovich, for sure.”
Tom Aspinall is tired of waiting for Jon Jones
Tom Aspinall knocked out Curtis Blaydes in 60 seconds to defend his interim belt at UFC 304 last July.
Since then, he’s been waiting on the sidelines for the chance to prove he’s MMA’s best heavyweight.
Aspinall recently admitted he’s ‘had enough’ of waiting around Jones, who appears to be doing everything he can to delay their matchup.
“Oh, I’m well bored of it. I’ve had enough,” he said.
“I think we either need to fight or I need to move on and do something else and like I said, I’m going to find out.
“Literally, today is the day that I’ve been waiting 3-4 months for and I’m going to find out today.”
