Background
[edit | edit source]A heavyweight bout between Curtis Blaydes and Tom Aspinall headlined the event.[3]
Former UFC Welterweight Championship challenger Darren Till and Jack Hermansson were originally expected to headline UFC on ESPN: Hermansson vs. Vettori in December 2020, but the middleweight bout was scrapped after Till was injured.[4] They were then expected to meet at this event.[5] In turn, Till pulled out once again due to injury on July 6 and was replaced by Chris Curtis.[6]
