Leading up to his fight with SpivaK, Ciryl had been posting clips of himself shattering the punching machine record. So it was no surprise, that he would perform well. While Michael Bisping decided to compete against Gane, fellow Britisher Tom Aspinall declined the offer.
Tom Aspinall is also considered one of the hardest hitters in the heavyweight division. However, Bon Gamin’s score might have been a bit too much for Tom. Additionally, Aspinall was seen holding alcohol in the video, so he might not have been at his full strength.
While Aspinall declined to compete against Gane on the machine, they might soon face each other. Both fighters have called out each other, and it is only a matter of time before they meet inside the octagon.
