Tom Aspinall UFC Heavyweight is making his second UFC appearance against Alan Baudot. Looking forward to watching Tyson Fury sparring partner second UFC appearance.

On the UFC heavyweight division…
I don’t think there are very many good heavyweights out there right now to be honest. I feel confident that I’ll work my way up the ranks, but at the right pace. I’m not trying to rush into anything, but I don’t see anything out there that makes me second guess myself or anything like that.

Khamzat Chimaev 2-0 with the UFC. Two wins in 11 days is rising Welterweight prospect to keep an eye on. Superb grappling similar to Khabib Nurmagomedov.

Chimaev definitely doesn’t lack the confidence as it’s a key to becoming a UFC Welterweight Champion. Doesn’t lack training at a top gym as well.

Chimaev trains at All Star Training Center with Alexander Gustafsson, Illir Latifi, David Teymur, Daniel Teymur.

“Very good, he’s a future world champ for sure,” said Gustafsson, who trains out of Allstars Gym in Stockholm with Chimaev. “He loves this, this is his life. He’s gonna go all the way. He’s my main sparring partner right now. He pushes me all day.

Work ethic, The talent and the mental toughness Khamzat Chimaev has all the makings to become the first born UFC Champion from Chechnya.

Rafael Dos Anjos Last Fight on His UFC Contract Fights Santiago Ponzinibbio

Rafael Dos Anjos ONE more fight in his UFC contract before becoming a free agent. Rafael Dos Anjos still a household name, Still wants to fight for the UFC and maybe challenge for the Welterweight title.

Next fight that can move Rafael Dos Anjos is the Welterweight Rankings is by fighting Santiago Ponzinbbio. Santiago Ponzinibbio hasn’t fought in a year and change but now FULLY healthy can fight.

Calling out Rafael Dos Anjos in his return to the Octagon.

“Man, Ponzinibbio is crazy,” he continued, referring to Ponzinibbio’s claim that RDA recently turned down the fight. “(The UFC) hasn’t said anything. This guy hasn’t fought in a year and a half. F*ck, I fought (four) times since his last fight. I have no problem fighting him, but, brother, no one told me anything. He throws some crazy stuff online, it’s hard to understand. But I have no problem fighting Ponzinibbio.

Santiago Ponzinbbio before the injuries was talked about as the dark horse of the UFC welterweight division, Return fight against Rafael Dos Anjos and a impressive win against Rafael Dos Anjos would rank him in the TOP TEN Welterweight Rankings.

Rafael Dos Anjos with a impressive win against Santiago Ponzinbbio would bounce back his career as he’s being used as a bridge for the upcoming Welterweights.

I hope this fight happens makes sense for both sides. Rafael Dos Anjos vs Santiago Ponzinbbio schedule it for “Fight Island” debut on the main card slot.
