Prior to his last fight against Curtis Blaydes, Tom Aspinall, the No. 5-ranked heavyweight mixed martial artist, was on an nine-fight winning streak. During his domination, Aspinall secured submission victories over well-known heavyweights such as Alexander Volkov and Andrei Arlovski.

However, a surprising TKO loss to Curtis Blaydes at UFC London in July 2022 derailed his title aspirations. By securing a victory against Tybura, the 30-year-old English fighter is eager to return to the path of success.
