English UFC champion Tom Aspinall was left emotional after watching teammate Ante Delija secure his first UFC win in Paris on Saturday night.

The Croatian secured a first-round knockout against Marcin Tybura with a brutal flurry of punches which saw the referee call the contest off.

Delija is one of Aspinall 's sparring partners, and the Englishman made the journey across the English Channel to Paris to watch his teammate, and they both got emotional after the former's win was confirmed.

The cameras immediately panned to Aspinall, and he was seen jumping up and down for joy, before becoming teary.

Explaining his emotion, the heavyweight supremo said: "Because it means so much to him.

"He's a great guy, an awesome guy, he's been waiting his whole life for that, it was awesome."
