Dude trained with Tyson Fury in boxing for nearly 2 years, there's a lot of photos and footage of it idk why they would leave it out of his origin story. Actually I know why, it's because the reason he went over to boxing was because MMA was letting him down at a regional level in terms of progressing his career, and it would look bad for the UFC to show this, misses a chunk of his life but whatever makes the sport look good I guess.

Absolute brilliance by the coach to work on his speed from jump street. The work has paid off and it's one of his biggest advantages now!

Hope he gets the W on Saturday
Big fan from USA. This guys a legend in the making.
What a guy ! Hope we see his name in the top 5. Make England proud dude!
What a great role model Tom Aspinall Is. And he has what it takes to be champion. He’s got the right mind for it
What a humble hard working guy 👍
They’re pushing him hard. Dana must really believe in him. I know the U.K. does.
I really like this guy. I wish him all the best in this upcoming fight.
This is by far his biggest test! If he gets through Volkov it’ll be a title shot eliminator next… ha’way lad! 🍻🏴

Man’s a fucking machine but humble at the same time, what’s not to love about big Tom!
Just the best
Tom aspinall is the real deal. Very impressive hand speed explosiveness and move very well. That being said, I love that out of all people, a 42-43 year old Andrei Arlovski gave Tom his most competitive and longest bout in the UFC so far. Also a great submission by Tom in that fight. I love Arlovski and always seem to win win money whenever I bet on him, or Glover Teixeira.
Dangerous man 🤙🏽
Very well rounded hw
Thank you
Fast becoming one of my favourite fighters
I wish him all the best!
Really rooting for him, seems a top lad.
Goosebumps!!!!
Great stuff.
This guy has it all. He is a tidy boxer too.
Didn't know him, now I'm a fan. 💪
SO EPIC
Dude is the most well rounded heavy weight on the roster today, plus great fight IQ, will be a champ soon and for a long time.
Descent guy this , lives just down the road from me . Hope he becomes UFC champ
Can't wait for saturday
Come on Tom 🔥
Class act on and off good luck mate Saturday
Now that's him out of the picture for a long time.
Makes sense listening to that why he burst into tears when he won the fight bonus.
Lovely kid that has the skill, desire, and wherewithal to go to the very top
Came from the nosebleeds,and now an elite heavyweight contender.
Tom is the absolute truth. I knew right then and there after his UFC debut that he'd be the champ one day. Haven't thought otherwise since.

these 2 future ufc heavyweights, Gane and Aspinall..
In 2012 I used to do Muay Thai at a club and Tom and his Dad would be waiting for us to finish to do their BJJ class in Golborne (Also the home of Davey Boy Smith the British Bulldog). I remember him from back then, blinked and now he's nearly the UFC champ.
Tom reminds me a little bit of Robert Whittaker,respectful and always fun to watch. Definitely a future title contender.
Tom Aspinall is the real deal!!
Champion of the world 🏴 🏆
He is a really dangerous HW. The speed is certainly noticeable
Hes going far
He’s got some very sharp striking
God I love his humbleness! The best attribute.
Tom VS Stipe would be a f*ckin unreal match up. After watching this and following his fights and what he brings into the fight. I think they would try to light eachother up
Hard not to like guys like Tom, get that W young man!
Would love to see him make it big, I think the question isn’t his next fight with Russian giant Gumby but the power punchers at the top
He’s the real deal
He'll be next heavyweight champ for sure!
If he wins they gotta book aspinal vs gane. That would be fireworks
Next champ 👊 greetings from 🇭🇷
Tom with the wwe punches when he gets ya hurt tryna get up
This guy looks really good.
Greatest fighter of all time is scared of this man. Has to be a crazy feeling.
Would like to see him fight Tai Tuivasa or Derrick Lewis . Good to see another good hw coming up.
Totally sucks that Tom got injured last night.. hope that it doesn't take a long time to heal and get back in the ring..

*Tom Aspinall definitely has the best chance at winning the belt of all English fighters.* Till needs to stop training hard he keeps injuring himself. Stick to 70% and go for volume. Paddy needs to work on his stand up a lot. He should try to partner up with Izzy, Volkanovski, Hooker etc. They would be a good mesh and help each other bring out the best in their skills.
