Staredowns! No Flinching As Aspinall Faces Off With Tybura

Check out all the best faceoffs and staredowns from today’s UFC London ceremonial weigh-ins from the O2 Arena in England.

Tom Aspinall tried to get into Marcin Tybura’s head during their UFC London faceoff at the O2 Arena, but Tybura didn’t react at all to the British fighter’s deke out.

The two heavyweights are set to clash on Saturday July 22nd in a fight with major implications for the division. UFC president Dana White has suggested an impressive performance from Aspinall could earn him dibs on the winner of the upcoming Jon Jones vs. Stipe Miocic fight in November.

A shot at the title is all Aspinall has been dreaming of for the past 12 months. He’s been sidelined with a bad knee injury, and has spent his recovery time overhauling his life and training situation to start living the life of a champion.

He’ll have to get past Marcin Tybura to have a chance at a shot. Tybura is 7-1 in his past 8 but hasn’t faced anyone as high up the rankings as Tom Aspinall. He certainly doesn’t seem phased by the challenge, as their face-off showed.
