Curtis Blaydes has one of the best wrestling pedigrees in the UFC's heavyweight division, but Tom Aspinall says he's 'happy to go to the ground' when the top 10 big men clash Saturday.
flat out says he's"happy to go to the ground" when the top 10 big men clash on Saturday.talked to 29-year-old Aspinall -- the #6 ranked heavyweight -- ahead of his fight with 31-year-old, #4 ranked Blaydes, at UFC Fight Night.
"I'm happy to go to the ground if he wants to. I've been a lifetime grappling, I've been grappling since I was a child so, I'm easy," Tom says, continuing ..."If he wants to take me down, let's do it. You wanna grapple a little but, we'll have a little wrestle if he wants to. If he wanna do a bunch of kicking we'll do that as well. Whatever he wants to do.
"I feel like with those fans I got superpowers. I'm super, super sharp. The fans like that, they can make you or break you. They can put so much pressure on ya or they can light a fire under you. For me, it definitely does the second one. I feel amazing in there and I can't wait to do it again."We also talked to Blaydes, who's won two in a row , and he isn't worried about anything ... and certainly not the crowd.
"It doesn't matter. I don't know if the fans know or not but I can't hear what you're saying when you're screaming at me." If Curtis can get the win -- as he expects -- he laid out the blueprint for getting a title shot, and he knows it could very well go through
