The UFC 304 Manchester car is stacked from top to bottom. In the co-main event, heavyweight interim champion Tom Aspinall will defend his title against Curtis Blaydes. The homegrown hero is expected to get a massive welcome from the UK fans ahead of the fight. To reciprocate that, the fighter has some big plans for his walkout this weekend.
Tom Aspinall is the fan favorite to win against Curtis Blaydes in the co-main event of UFC 304. The last time the pair fought was in London, and Aspinall suffered a TKO loss due to a knee injury. This time, the champ would like a different result and has different plans for his walkout. While talking to the media during the pre-fight presser, Aspinall spilled the beans about his upcoming mega walkout this weekend.
This may be the best walkout in UFC history coming up. I’m not gonna tell everyone what it is but it’s gonna be insane.

Tom Aspinall is well known for his unique taste in music for his walkout songs. He likes to keep experimenting each time with a new song. The last time at UFC 295, he walked out to ‘Englishman in New York’ by Sting. It was an appropriate song for the occasion, given the fight took place at the iconic Madison Square Garden.
English fighters are well known for having some incredible walkouts in combat sports history. Apart from MMA, in boxing, Tyson Fury has given fans some of the most glamorous walkouts to the English fans. Although Aspinall has not given any more information about it, fans are now excited about the walkout. It has further added intrigue to the already thrilled fight fans ahead of UFC 304.

The fighter recently spoke about the UK fans having trouble watching UFC 304 with its early morning schedule. According to the fighter, it’s an unfortunate thing to happen.
As a fan who wants to watch it live, I think it is absolutely terrible. I think… yeah, it’s just not fair on the fans, not fair on the U.K. fans.

Aspinall understands that it was done in order to cater to the massively big American audience. However, the interim champion urged the UFC to take care of it next time. Nonetheless, at UFC 304, other than his planned walkout, Aspinall will look forward to keeping his winning streak. Moreover, retaining the interim heavyweight title around his waist could go a long way for the Brit.
