The promotion rolled out another “Countdown” special to preview this weekend’s combat sports extravaganza, which also features a strawweight championship co-main event between Mackenzie Dern and Virna Jandiroba, who battle for for Zhang Weili’s vacated strawweight title. Weili will move on to challenge Valentina Shevchenko for the 125-pound title at UFC 322 next month in New York.
“I just want to be the champion who fights often, regularly, and fights the best guys,” Aspinall said (via UFC Europe). “I don’t wanna be one of those guys who take big breaks in between, because that’s what happened. I’m ready to put a stop to that. Be active, be an active champion, be a defending champion, and fight the best guys, number one contenders. And that’s what a champion should do — fight the number one contenders.”
