Tom Aspinall surprised everyone with his prediction for McGregor’s fight: “It’ll end in the first round”

Tom Aspinall has no doubt about who he thinks will come out on top in the main event of UFC 329. The heavyweight champion has bet on Conor McGregor and has even gone so far as to predict how the fight will end.

This weekend, after a five-year hiatus, Conor McGregor will return to the UFC Octagon. In the main event of UFC 329, he will face Max Holloway, whom he first fought back in 2013. Despite his long absence, “The Notorious” remains one of the biggest stars in the world of MMA. If he defeats the former featherweight champion, he could quickly return to the top ranks and start thinking about the biggest challenges once again.

Aspinall is betting on McGregor. “One hit could end the fight.”

Most experts and bookmakers point to Max Holloway as the clear favorite in Saturday’s bout. According to many, the Hawaiian’s recent activity and McGregor’s several-year hiatus should play a key role. Tom Aspinall, however, sees this matchup quite differently.

On his YouTube channel, the British man admitted that the Irishman’s recent comments had made a big impression on him. In his opinion, McGregor comes across as an extremely focused fighter who is ready for a big comeback.

– I’ve seen a few interviews with McGregor and was really impressed by what he had to say. He came across as very calm and completely focused. I know it’s just an interview and doesn’t necessarily mean anything. However, he has a very difficult task ahead of him, because he’ll be facing an active fighter like Max Holloway… — said the Brit on his YouTube channel.

Aspinall emphasized, however, that there is one factor that could completely change the course of the match.

” But the power of the punch doesn’t go away. One hit is all it takes, and the fight could be over,” he added.

The heavyweight champion went a step further and revealed his bold prediction for the outcome of the main event at UFC 329.

– To be honest, I’m leaning more toward a McGregor victory. I’m predicting that Conor McGregor will win by knockout in the first round,” Aspinall ventured a bold prediction. – I think he’ll land his powerful left hook and end the fight.

If Aspinall’s predictions prove accurate, it will be one of the most spectacular comebacks in UFC history. The vast majority of experts, however, expect a much tougher challenge for the Irishman, who will be stepping back into the Octagon for the first time in five years.
