Recently he was spotted answering some of the trivia question on who would he love to see inside the octagon for a scrap. In a video uploaded by Full Mount MMA Tom Aspinall said,
I’d have to really think about that. Top three fights. I am really looking forward to Charles Oliveria against Tsarukyan and that’s coming up soon. That’s a fight already made obviously. I’d like to see Volkanovski come back and win because I am a massive Volkanovski fan against anybody. I’d like to see Pavlovich fight Cyril Gane.
Many will agree that Tom put forward some of the most interesting matchups forward. The bout between Charles and Tsarukyan is one of the absolute best one in the world of MMA for a title eliminator bout. Whereas everyone in the MMA community would love to see Alexander Volkanovski win in the future. Whereas he also claimed that he would love to see his former opponent Sergei Palovich take on the elite kickboxer Cyril Gane.
