MMA: UFC Fight Island

The UFC comes off a great event at the Apex and is now on the road in London, England at O2 Arena for a stacked fight card. In the main event, we have a fight in the heavyweight division between Tom Aspinall and Marcin Tybura. Aspinall is coming off a lengthy layoff due to a brutal leg break in his last fight against Curtis Blaydes meanwhile, Tybura is looking to keep his momentum going with a big win in London over an elite heavyweight contender.

In the co-main event, we have one of London’s favorite fighters “Meatball” Molly McCann taking on Julija Stoliarenko in a women’s flyweight matchup. The rest of this card is littered with elite talent from across the pond which should make for an exciting fight night event. With that said, these fighters can expect some hefty paydays this weekend so let’s check out what the expected fighter pay, salaries, and payouts will be.

Tom Aspinall is set to earn a big payday at UFC London

England’s own Tom Aspinall is making his long-awaited return to the octagon after being on the shelf for years after tearing his ACL in round one against Curtis Blaydes. This will be his third consecutive main event fight and he is 1-1 in main event fights while he is 7-1 coming into this contest. Prior to the unfortunate injury against Blaydes, Aspinall was riding a seven-fight win streak with a 5-0 UFC record with all five wins coming inside the distance.

Aspinall takes on surging heavyweight contender Marcin Tybura who’s coming into this matchup on a two-fight win streak with seven wins in his last eight fights.  This will be Tybura’s only second main event fight but he will look to make the most of this big moment and hopefully, with a win, it could push him into title contention.
