British heavyweight fighter Tom Aspinall has said his recovery from a serious knee injury had some difficult moments. He tore ligaments just 15 seconds into a fight last year and needed surgery. For 12 months he worked to heal. It was hard when he couldn't walk, as Aspinall likes to stay active. He questioned continuing fighting due to risks. But he loves the sport and feels he can become champion. Aspinall has been through a lot but is glad he continued training. In his return fight he beat Marcin Tybura fast. This victory has moved Aspinall up the UFC heavyweight rankings as a top title contender. He is focused on making up for lost time and proving himself the best fighter in the world.
