Bisping's reaction to Aspinall's win

Michael Bisping - the UK's first UFC champion - was overcome with joy after seeing Tom Aspinall knockout Sergei Pavlovich.

The former middleweight champion and Hall-of-Famer leapt out of his seat and was lost for words after his initial outpouring of emotion.

Aspolutely confident

Tom Aspinall is confident he'll do a number on Jon Jones if he gets to fight the undisputed heavyweight champion.

He said: " I don't think I did much wrong for him to be like, 'That's an easy fight.' If I hit anybody square in the face, they're going to go to sleep. It's as simple as that. 

And Jon knows that. That's no disrespect to Jon, I absolutely love Jon, he's one of my favourite fighters of all time and I absolutely look up to him.

"But I want to fight him and I think I can win.";

Back attack

Tom Aspinall has revealed that he knocked Sergey Pavlovich out with a bad back.

He said: "I actually pulled my back and didn't really train at all.

"I injured it the first week after I found about the fight. I've not been able to train for the last week and a half."

An emotional Tom Aspinall quickly dedicated his amazing title win to his dad Andy.

He said: "This man right here has been with me my whole life, so this belt is dedicated to my father.

Pure emotion

Tom Aspinall was overcome with a way of emotion after claiming the interim heavyweight title.

He said: "It’s been a crazy two and a half weeks.

"I just want to say to anyone if you get a chance to do something, do it because it will f****ng pay off.

"He’s a big scary guy, I've never been as scared before fighting this guy but I've got a lot of power too."

And new!

Alex Pereira has just TKO'd Jiri Prochazka to become the new UFC light-heavyweight champion.

He dropped Prochazka wth a big hook and forced the Czech clubber to shoot for a takedown.

He followed up with elbows and punches in tight that forced Prochazka to his back.

And referee Marc Goddard promptly called a halt to the contest.

The stoppage, in my opinion, looked premature.

Pereira eventually got back to his feet before the horn, much to the delight of the crowd.

These ladies are giving it absolutely everything. Props to Dern for still wading into the fire after being badly hurt in the previous round.

Andrade is not being her usual aggressive self and adopting to take a cautious approach to taking out her fellow countrywoman.

She steps her foot on the gas midway through the second and briefly drops and advancing Dern.

Dern works hard for a takedown in the final minute but sees her effort stuffed.

Andrade drops Dern with a huge hook with seconds of the round remaining. She goes in for the kill but is stopped by the horn.
