It had been a full year since Aspinall headlined the UFC’s last Fight Night event in London and injured his knee in 15 seconds, but the 30-year-old made a triumphant return by stopping the #10-ranked Tybura with strikes in just over a minute.

Fan favorite Molly McCann attempted to rebound from a first-round loss to Erin Blanchfield when she took on Julija Stoliarenko in the night’s co-main event, however Stoliarenko ended up silencing the London crowd when she handed "Meatball" another submission loss with a first-round armbar.

The main card also included Nathaniel Wood winning a decision over Andre Fili after a wild fight that saw both men score knockdowns, as well as Paul Craig making his successful middleweight debut with a second-round finish against Andre Muniz.
