Tom Aspinall will face American Curtis Blaydes at UFC 304 on Saturday
Michael Bisping insisted he is too knowledgeable to believe Tom Aspinall's joke that he has been "dipping his hands in knuckle" ahead of his fight on Saturday night.
The 30-year-old faced Blaydes at London's O2 Arena in July 2022 but lasted less than 30 seconds of the first one as he suffered a serious knee injury when trying to strike his opponent. Ahead of the five-round contest, Aspinall has been trying to prank various publications by saying that his fight camp had included dipping his hands in petrol.
"The petrol thing is true, I think that's quite obvious to everyone," joked Aspinall. "I can't just pull that out of thin air. Let's be honest Mike , before that Rockhold fight there weren't a lot of knockouts happening.
