Aspinall on his overall performance
“I felt the fight was good. I felt that my performance was OK, could have been better. I was stepping in a little bit too close, but I’m still learning, so I’m going to make mistakes in there. Luckily, I didn’t get the consequences of my mistakes, so everything went smooth, thank God. I think a lot of those spins were too close. I was spending too much time too close to him. I should have been in, out, in, out, and I was a little bit in and just out a little bit, so the shots were coming quite close, but I’m learning, and next time I’m going to know.
Aspinall on what he wants next
I’d like to fight Spivak because I did a full training camp for him and I fought and won and he’s without a fight now. The next time the UFC comes to Fight Island, we should get that on for sure.
