Tom Aspinall secured a first-round TKO victory over Marcin Tybura in the main event at UFC London.

One year after suffering a knee injury during a 15-second bout with Curtis Blaydes at the O2 Arena, Aspinall made a grand return to the venue for another main event. This time, things played out in a completely different manner as the 30-year-old Englishman defeated Tybura via TKO at 1:13 of the first round.

Aspinall wasted no time showing his strength by hurting Tybura with a thunderous head kick early on. He then delivered a stunning straight right hand that sent 'Tybur' to the canvas. Swiftly capitalizing on the opportunity, Aspinall delivered a flurry of ground strikes, leading to the stoppage.
