Returning from a devastating injury, Tom Aspinall is ready to fight again in front of family and friends. The Brit takes on the streaking Marcin Tybura at a UFC on ESPN event on July 22.
The fight airs on ESPN+ in the U.S. and emanates from the O2 Arena in London.
Born in Manchester, Aspinall made his pro debut in 2013. Competing for BAMMA and Cage Warriors, Aspinall joined the UFC in 2020. He is 5-1 with the promotion, with three wins via TKO and two via submission. Aspinall's last fight was a TKO loss against Curtis Blaydes in July 2022, also inside the O2 Arena.
During that fight, Aspinall landed a leg kick but suffered a torn MCL and meniscus when he planted his foot back on the canvas. Motivated, Aspinall is ready to return to winning ways.

"I think that pre-injury Tom Aspinall and post-surgery Tom Aspinall are two completely different people," Aspinall told BT Sport via MMA Junkie. "I think before, everything was going well, and I was just blase about the whole thing. And I didn't realize how much I loved this sport and how much I want to do it until it was potentially taken away from me. I had no idea how much I am desperate for greatness until it was almost taken away from me.

"Now I wake up every morning, and I can't wait to go to the gym and train… My hunger is off the scale now. Ask anyone who's around me. I'm like on edge for greatness."
Tybura turned pro in 2011. The Polish fighter won the M-1 heavyweight title in 2014, defending it twice. Joining the UFC in 2016, he is 10-6 with the promotion. The 37-year-old is on a two-fight win streak, beating Blagoy Ivanov in his last bout in February.
Also on the card will be local favorites Molly McCann, Nathaniel Wood, and Davey Grant.
