But, his\u00a0astonishing win over the Russian was deemed even more impressive when he revealed he had &#8216;pulled his back&#8217; just days before the\u00a0UFC 295 showdown.<\/p>\n<p>The British star, who became the third UFC champion from his homeland by knocking out the Russian in New York, revealed details of the injury after his triumph.<\/p>\n<p>He told Laura Sanko: &#8216;I actually pulled my back and didn&#8217;t really train at all,&#8217; he explained. &#8216;I injured it the first week after I found out about the fight. I&#8217;ve not been able to train for the last week and a half.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I pulled my back, had about five days training, didn&#8217;t have a visa, was unsure if I could get here, it was just wild, the wildest two weeks ever, everything was just going wrong.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>The 30-year-old UFC star finished by saying:\u00a0&#8216;I&#8217;ll always bet on myself, I was never going to win this fight by watching it on TV.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>The revelation makes his victory all the more impressive, finishing the man who had himself dispatched his last six opponents in the first round.<\/p>\n<p>And he admitted to feeling acute nerves beforehand, telling TNT Sport: &#8216;There were loads of doubts, absolutely loads, like I said, I&#8217;ve never been as scared in my life.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/29\/23\/77699415-12807275-Tom_Aspinall_won_the_interim_UFC_heavyweight_title_by_knocking_o-a-42_1701301607925.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Aspinall (right) won the interim UFC heavyweight title by knocking out Sergei Pavlovich<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/29\/23\/77699409-12807275-It_took_the_Englishman_just_one_minute_and_nine_seconds_to_secur-a-43_1701301612894.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>It took the Englishman just one minute and nine seconds to secure the victory at UFC 295<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/29\/23\/77698481-12807275-Aspinall_is_presented_with_the_interim_heavyweight_title_belt_fo-a-44_1701301624124.jpg\" height=\"477\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0Aspinall pictured with the interim heavyweight title belt following the win in New York<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I was sat in the changing room thinking, &#8220;I&#8217;m not sure this was the best idea&#8221;&#8216;.
