UFC 304 is nearly here as Manchester takes centre stage with several British stars in action this weekend.
It’s the first time since 2016 that the city is hosting an event for the promotion and local fighter Tom Aspinall is vying to retain his interim belt on home soil.
Current heavyweight champion Jon Jones is injured and, in unusual circumstances, UFC has refused to strip him of his belt, which is why the interim is being defended here.
Aspinall will take on Curtis Blaydes in a rematch of their fight two years ago, which ended after 15 seconds due to a knee injury suffered by the American.
You can find Tom Aspinall v Curtis Blaydes odds on the Paddy Power website and Paddy Power app, otherwise here’s everything you need to know ahead of the fight.
