5 potential opponents for Tom Aspinall after UFC London victory

#4. Tom Aspinall vs. Ciryl Gane

Ciryl Gane holds a record of 10-1

Ciryl Gane and Tom Aspinall may be the two most skilled heavyweights on the UFC roster. They both possess a terrifying blend of technique and power and have both achieved a lot of success very quickly in the octagon. Given they are both relatively young, a clash between the pair seems inevitable.

Perhaps now is the time to book the first match-up between these two fighters. It makes sense in terms of the rankings with both men right at the top of the division but likely not in the immediate title picture. A win for either man could well be enough to force their name into the equation.

Another potential factor here is that this fight between the top English and French heavyweights would be absolutely huge in the European market. However, given both men will be a big part of the future of the division, creating a match-up where one of these fighters will pick up a loss may not make sense.

#3. Tom Aspinall vs. Chris Daukaus

Chris Daukaus holds a record of 12-4

Another potential opponent for the man who was victorious this past weekend could be the winner of next Saturday's main event. The no. 9 ranked Chris Daukaus will take on the no. 4 ranked Curtis Blaydes in what is a big-time heavyweight bout.

Should Daukaus prove to be the winner, he could well make sense as Aspinall's next opponent. He may not be the biggest name in the division, but if the former police officer can defeat Blaydes, he will be right around the top five. That would make a fight between these new heavyweight contenders make sense.

Pitting Aspinall against Daukaus could be a smart way of occupying both men given the crowded title picture. With that being said, there is a big chance this hypothetical fight could get derailed this weekend as Daukaus would have to have upset Blaydes to set it up.
