A massive clash will take place in the co-main event of UFC Fight Night 191. Tom Aspinall will take on Serghei Spivac in a battle of young heavyweights.

Aspinall has taken his undefeated streak into the UFC and extended it to six wins after three fights in the octagon. The Englishman has impressed thus far, scoring consecutive TKOs against Jake Collier and Alan Baudot. He also submitted former UFC heavyweight champ Andrei Arlovski in his most recent outing.

Meanwhile, Spivac is enjoying a successful run of three consecutive wins. In his last three outings, he defeated Carlos Felipe, Jared Vanderaa and Aleksei Oleinik. However, the Moldovan has his work cut out for him, having stepped in on short notice to take the co-main event fight.

Originally, Aspinall was set to face fellow rising heavyweight star Sergei Pavlovich, who pulled out of the fight a week before the event. Given Spivac's decision to volunteer as a replacement fighter, it's highly doubtful that he's had ample time to train and prepare a gameplan for his opponent. With that in mind, this co-featured bout might disappoint.

Top middleweight contenders Derek Brunson and Darren Till will both get an opportunity to solidify their status in the title picture when they collide in the main event of UFC Fight Night 191.

Brunson collected his fourth win in a row after taking down Kevin Holland in his most recent fight. Unfortunately for the veteran, he'll have to work harder than his contemporaries to earn a title shot as he already owns losses to both champion Israel Adesanya and presumed title challenger Robert Whittaker. Nonetheless, a victory over a high-profile opponent like Till might be exactly what he needs to build his case.

Till, on the other hand, will return to action for the first time since July 2020. 'The Gorilla' was scheduled to make a comeback against Marvin Vettori earlier this year. However, a broken collarbone forced him to withdraw from the main event bout.

Though Till has fallen short against Whittaker, the reigning champion has talked him up as a potential rival. If Till wins on Saturday and Adesanya beats Whittaker in their rematch, it isn't rocket science to assume that the two could cross paths in the near future.
