"On the surface, that might sound like an arrogant -- or at least very biased -- thing to say, but the results support it. "I want to see him tested, and he wants to be tested," Andy told ESPN. "But lately, I've had this thing where I don't even get nervous for the fight. The thing that actually does worry me is that over the next three or four years, Tom will have fought for a total of three minutes.""
"Aspinall (15-3) faces Ciryl Gane (13-2) at UFC 321 on Saturday in Abu Dhabi (2 p.m. ET on ESPN PPV, prelims at 10 a.m.), in his first defense of the UFC's undisputed heavyweight title. If Gane, who is a 3-to-1 betting underdog, can simply make it to the second round, he'll be the first to survive an opening round against Aspinall in 4½ years."
Tom Aspinall has produced extremely short fights, with his past three wins by knockout in 60, 69 and 73 seconds and an average fight time of 122 seconds, the shortest in UFC history. Aspinall (15-3) will defend the undisputed heavyweight title against Ciryl Gane (13-2) at UFC 321 in Abu Dhabi, with the main card on ESPN PPV at 2 p.m. ET and prelims at 10 a.m. Gane enters as a 3-to-1 betting underdog. Andy Aspinall, Tom's father and head coach, says he has yet to see an opponent truly test his son and worries Tom may not face extended fights.
