Quality videos as always bro ! From wigan myself so makes me proud see one off our lads make it in the big leagues 🤙🏻 future goat
As you know he's not from Wigan, it's Atherton, which makes him more a Leyther 😁
@@rugbyleaguebanterer4354atherton is in wigan haha you see wigan not atherton
@@rugbyleaguebanterer4354 zoom out on google maps…you will see wigan, bolton, liverpool, manny, preston as main areas…atherton is just a very small part of wigan 🤷♂️ hence why he said wigan not atherton
Never sin so many pie-eaters cheering for a Leyther (and I'm one of them! 😂) Love it though, Tom is an inspiration and seems like a top top bloke. Hope he's able to stay humble wearing the crown. Great great man, he'll unite the North West and the UK as well 💪🏻
For a place as small as wigan the sporting talent is off the charts
Looking at Khabib and Tom, its obvious that supportive dad is the best base in MMA. Great job on the vid!
Absolutely, not just in mma, performing and training knowing your dad has your back gives you confidence and sense of security for you to thrive. I’m looking to be that kind of father hopefully
A good dad is the best base for everything you do in life mate. Don't know what I'd do without the knowledge that whatever happens he's got my back
Same case with Naoya n Calzaghe
GSP 2
At least a good father figure
He trains at my gym and I can honestly say him and his dad are some of the coolest most down to earth people around
Or do you train at their gym?
@@kawaranai9743or do they train at A gym
Or do they not train at any gym? Whole story made up.
Brother YOU train at THEIR gym lmao have some fuckin respect
@@tannerannichiarico7255foreal lol dudes a champ this guy no even knows 🤣
This was outstanding, thanks for this. Us Brits are extremely proud of him for not only what hes done, but also in the manner hes done it. A truly class act.
There are also some Croatians rooting for your lad. Cheers!
What is a Brit? Great Britain is a congregating organisation of 4 countries registered as a corporation operating for control and profit. But as a English born human , proud of Tom. Wish him All the best
@@WtfWhy-tl2zl Great Britain is the big island next to Ireland on the map. You are thinking of the United Kingdom. The island does indeed have three countries on it.
@@WtfWhy-tl2zlWho cares?
Us UFC nuts in Ireland are big fans too. The man’s a beast.
He never sounds corny or cocky to me, he never comes across like that, it's all confidence from years of working hard and doing martial arts his entire life, knowing what his body can do.
What a guy man, absolutely 0 ego, just a pure lad! Brought to tears when he was told about the performance of the night again. That shit would have blew my head up I'd have had that Connor Mcgregor swagger after that 😂
Meh......
That 2nd takedown on Volkov after he throws the straight right is absolutly beautiful. Its textbook, picture perfect and flawless.
Gonna be an exciting future for this guy
I had Aspinall beating Pavlovich ahead of their fight, but winning by KO in the first round was a pleasant surprise. I figured he'd weather the early storm and get the fight to the ground for a TKO or submission finish in the 3rd round. Obviously, I underestimated Aspinall's speed and power, and I should have known better since he rarely needs more than a round to find the finish. I'm really bullish on his future as the heavyweight champion. Furthermore, he seems like a genuinely good and humble dude, and honest about feeling fear in the lead-up to his bouts, so he's a solid role model for young men everywhere.
I did not envision that happening. Pavlovich had seemed unstoppable.
Yup, big Tom fan but if you weren't nervous about Pavlovich you're lying to yourself or blind. Glad to see him win though.
I won $265 from that fight
@@Last_Chance. and you will be winning a lot more!
The UK gotta gotta get around this guy 💪
I love when Pavlovich hit him hard, and he stepped back and was like "oh, it's on!" and dropped him.
He'll be the HW goat before Jon and Stipe fight at this rate
I don't think we're seeing either of those two again, not because of the next generation, but just down to dumb bad luck.
@@mattthompson3714their getting kinda seasoned/old, I'd rather them retire at their best before we have a Anderson silva v2
Tom is the HW GOAT, it just hasn’t happened yet..
i hope to come back to this comment in a few years and be happy it's come true
@@jamhayes it's cooking
@@rich4072can you smell what the aspinal is cooking!!!
I think you're correct. Tom might be the best fighter we have ever seen. I think he would dominate Jon Jones
It's official, Aspinall has the most deluded fanbase in all of MMA. this comment thread solidified it lol.
Tom is the fighter I’ve been most avidly following since he burst into the scene. I’m from Stockport so not too far from Wigan and it was great to see another northern lad doing well. I feel privileged to have watch his journey and could not be happier with how far he’s come. Listening to guys like Cejudo shower praise on him is also something really great to see. He’s also the guy I’m most nervous watching. Not because I don’t think he can get it done, but because I’m so invested in his journey that I just want to see him keep winning, smashing records and establishing his legacy as one of the (if not hopefully someday the) greatest heavyweights of all time.
I think he actually lives in Atherton, which is between Wigan and Manchester. So yeah, short trip. Would love to visit on the off chance of bumping into him at his local 😅
Fellow Manc here, I'm excited to see how far he goes!
@@RedForLife68 yh he from atherton always gd see a local lad do good
Mental how we’ve got a potential goat local never saw it coming
It's the power of the Pie!!! You don't need Steroids or EPO if you'd test positive for Chicken & Mushroom Pie and Gravy, the fight's as good as won. I think Titterton's Dinky Pork Pies are on the banned list though .... that would be just cheating.
Aspinall is the man! Humble champion & the next BIG thing!
Literally
Big Tommy putting us on the map🇬🇧🏴
Future heavyweight champ for sure he’s unbelievable. This man is good at every aspect of MMA and can easily be one of the greats.
present heavyweight champ
@ItsameAlex he's gotta beat Jon Boner Jones for that one
@@kingjoseph5901old captain Picogram himself lol
@@kingjoseph5901he really doesn't though, the general consensus is that Jones and stipe are retiring after their fight...
until Jon gets his hands on him. Everyone is special and "the next thing" until Jon gets put to work. It's the same every time and it's not gonna be different this time. Save this comment and come back to it after they fought.
A truly special talent
Am Irish I love looking at Tom . So exciting
Kinda gay
@@Dob_Ogurtwas thinking that too 😂
I think the comments from a chick? lol cath
What's being Irish got to do with it.
And to boot, he's a great guy
Long may the reign of Strickland and Tom last. Both are great role models for young men
Agreed
Pornography is not good for young men
They're decent picks. You can not possibly place them ahead of Jon Jones as the best pick for a role model, though.
@@REH86r u trolling
Lmao Strickland is not a great role model like Tom is 😂
I grew up 15 minutes from Tom, he's our boy and we are all rooting for him!!! Come on we gettin that heavyweight belt!!!
I like the way he let go of the straight arm bar before the ref pulled him off. Nothing but class. Even the fingering comment 😂 legend
Dudes a savage
I have been waiting for this one! Thank you!
I feel like my fellow patriot, and idol (TOMMY ASPIIIIIINAL) deserved such an amazing tribute for his sudden climb of the ufc roster so with that being said, thankyou for making this amazing video!!! Il be on the look out for more of your content!!😊😊💯💯💯💥💥💥💙
Modern day heavyweights are insane
Reminds me a lot of when Juinor Dos Santos and Cain were doing their thing. Fast af HW with great power and grappling. I know people like to talk about the "scariest" fighter and always bring up Francis. But Tom is the real scariest, anywhere the fight goes he's looking to finish.
Brilliant this and massive respect to you guy's Giving Tom Respect Love from England ❤❤❤❤❤
Curtis Blaydes is 1 hell of a lucky guy tbh.
Luckiest mf in the UFC to get the fight at the time he did. Sadly for him, it meant he got to move on to Pavlovich...
👍😂
Him and jones at Wembley would be massive !!
Im from America an ill except him as the champ as well LFG !!!💯
Thanks for the awesome video! The quality is amazing.
Aspinall is one of if not the most dangerous fighter the ufc has ever had. He doesn't try to get on top of you and grind out a decision... The dude is going for the kill, whether by knockout or submission... He isn't here to play around. I'm telling you guys. He has a 100% finishing rate.. Also, the three losses... One was legitimate... He did lose by heel hook early in his career... But One was a dq loss like jones has, and the other was a knee injury he most likely had going into the fight. He is the real deal... I do think that he wouldn't be playing around with jones. But jones will not fight him. Jones deserves a match with stipe, then he should hang it up. He doesn't want to destroy his legacy with a young prime aspinall, it would probably end very badly for him, and I truly believe he knows that.
I pray we see Jones Aspinallfor the sake of the sport and the passing of the guard.
Aspinall has earned my respect. I love how versatile he is, and has fantastic speed, reaction time and agility for someone that size. A true threat on multiple levels. For more interesting than those who get by on power alone.
Should be the undisputed champ
He is. An interim champion in the UFC is a fighter who has been awarded the heavyweight Championship title in the absence of the reigning champion. This absence could be due to various reasons such as injury, suspension, ducking or any other circumstance that prevents the champion from defending their title within a reasonable time-frame. As we all know Jon "Juice" Jones spent a lot of time ducking Ngannou and now he's ducking Tom. It's a fight we'll never see happen unfortunately.
ive never been proud of a fighter like i am of tommy... since fight 1 i knew he was gonna be a champ. my favorite fighter right now.
Ive wathced alot of UFC fighters,Tom Aspinall is just unbelievable.
He's British Fedor. Nobody is gonna beat this guy for a while
English
This is high quality documentary on my favorite ufc fighter. Thank you❤
I think the financial barrier is what prevents most people from pursuing any type of career in combat sports. You REALLY have to love what you do, have a strong support system and catch a few breaks or come from wealth and somehow convince your wealthy parents that fighting is somehow better than the career they envisioned for you. I think the sport would advance by leaps and bounds if combat sports were as ubiquitous in schools as say baseball, basketball, football, etc. while also having the same infrastructure, funding and so on of course. I mean even golf, rowing and tennis are pretty much a staple of every school (I assume, I am almost 50, so it has been 30ish years since I stepped foot in a school, I could be wrong. I just know that everything I mentioned, along with a litany of other sports, was available at my school). I apologize for the lengthy comment, it just stood out to me that I often hear about the financial difficulties fighters have to endure and how that’s a fairly unique thing to combat sports when compared to other “mainstream” sports. I hope this made sense and nobody fell asleep trying to read this wall of text.
Excellent comment and well said. Most people that come from wealth don't have the heart and grind that it takes to be a great fighter.
This is a great comment, man. If I had the means, I'd definitely consult with a few professionals about putting up something like this.
Awesome documentary man!
Met this guy once, what a nice polite and easy going person. Also watched his fights, what a bad ass. Keep it up Tom, everything will come 🥊🥇🥇🥇🥇
I truly believe Tom Aspinall could be champion if Jon Jones wasn't holding up the division and not willing to fight Tom... Tom just beat Pavlovich! One of the scariest dudes EVER at HW. I'd like to see Jon or Stipe fight Pavlovich. +Tom just has a solid heart as well as great fight IQ & unreal skills!
What a decent man. Full of heart.
Tom is a hero and the people's champ.
Fantastic! Thankyou! 💖
What a amazing video. So well done.
Top notch as always 👌
Hes gonna clean house
Can't help but like the guy. Confidently humble if that makes any sense.
good video bro. nice editing and pace.
Very well made video, keep it up.
Considering what a small country the UK is, they're punching above their weight when it comes to Champions.
That's a really good video, nice presentation and the right script. Well done. One of the better vids of this type I've seen on YT.
Truly appreciated, thank you!
Another very good Video!!! T.Aspinall is well rounded fighter and i see him asap at the TOP!!!
Aspinall-Blaydes...They came out with bad intentions. I would have loved to see a full fight. I'm definitely an Aspinall fan. Nice work Clenched Teeth. 🤜🤛
One of my favorite guys on the rise in the UFC. Started noticing him when he beat Arlovski. Ferocious combos with lightning speed and good footwork.
Tom Aspinal is the new John Jones, DJ type fighter I predict Anderson Silva scale title defences... If John Jones fights him it will be the passing of the guard, as good as Aspinal is he deserves to fight John beat John and become the best heavyweight the UFC has seen untill he inevitably looses
Interesting combination of several different idioms. "Changing of the guard" and "Passing the torch." Never heard it said before, but it makes plenty of sense. Well done 👏.
How is he the new John jones? Sorry but jones was beating champs in his early twenties. Became champ at 23 and has never been beaten since. Even if he lost to jones now after he recovers, toms record will still be inferior.
@simplyfitness892 Jones spent most of his career fighting blown up middleweights. He's had 10 fights in the last 10 years.. he's literally the most inactive fighter in ufc history considering how long he's been with them.
I like that every fight you can physically see how dedicated he is bc he comes in leaner and more muscled every time (besides the last one v Big Pav of course, he took that on a couple weeks notice w a back injury preventing major training) its a good sign he came to the UFC a big but kinda pudgy HW now he’s in amazing shape and shaping up to be the real Champion soon.
I remember leading up to the fight everyone was telling me Aspinall's only chance at victory was a submission. But I bet on him to win via KO/TKO. He's incredibly fast and precise on the feet. I'm willing to bet that Jon Jones would lose against Aspinall. Mark my words, he's the best heavyweight in the world.
He is the best yes.Ur 100 percent correct
I do think Aspinwall , but Jones experience range and fight iq I think makes it a coin toss .. the oblique kick could be the game changer , although I want to back Aspinall Jones is the only one I even have to challenge him
A Russian lifetime wrestler getting subbed for the first time in 19 professional fights by a Brittish guy, and both love to throw hands? Whoever this "everyone" was that was telling you Aspy by sub, they're not very bright.
Another tom fangirl whose been watching mma for 2 years 😂 jones destroys this guy inside 2 rounds... you tom is gunna stop a takedown??? Jones would show tom and all his fans theres levels to this game
I won $265 on toms last fight. Tom will definitely beat JJ.
Great vid on Sir Tom. Hes an inspiration. As a person and fighter.
Tom the man's man. I love Tom he's a truly rare gem and such a good role model. Not cocky full of shit or ego just believes in himself. ❤ Long may king Tom reign 👊.
As a fellow lancastrian I'm so proud of not just what he's doing but the manner in which he's doing it.
What a fantastic video. Well told.
What a really genuine nice guy
Omg 11mins had me crying too
Brilliantly documentary
Grit. Brit. Let us fucxing go. 30 seconds in and i am pumped to see this
Mark my words, Tom Aspinall will be the one that will dethrone Jon Jones, if it isn't him then there is no one that can and Jones will retire being the best there has ever been. Aspinall is the closest thing we have ever come to having the ability to deal with Jones and finish him, feel as though Jones not having enough time fighting at heavyweight will come into play but it is going to be a defining fight for both men, I pray for a 2024 fight.
Everyone thinks they can take Jones...until they get guillotined....
Eh, a goat wouldn't have that Reyes fight then immediately run away from the sport after what should have been a loss. Dodge Francis/Stipe while they were peak and fighting in UFC. And the multitude of failed drug tests. I couldn't imagine Tom having ANY of those issues. Or any of the other actual legitimate claims to GOAT status like DJ or GSP. Nah, eye-poke Jones is an embarrassment to the sport tbh.
@@ghoulbby oh I agree to an extent, the guy shouldn't be allowed to still be fighting with his history. Can argue that he did dodge Stipe but it's looking like Jones and Stipe is happening again before Aspinall can even unfiy the belts, absolute joke that. But you can't deny his résumé of opponents, I still believe that Tom has more to his game than Jon at heavyweight, but regardless the drug usage and then all the other shit, his résumé still is a great one.
I had that knee lock up too and if I tried to force it it actually felt like the whole knee would just break ,rip and tear everything apart in there. For a few years I could pop the knee back into place but it had to be operated on in the end. Still have to be careful with that knee as it can still happen but not as easily as before.
Good video man 👍
Tim is a legend and a great representation of the sport.
Tom’s journey still has a long way to go he will definitely be the HW champ soon good luck fella 🥊🥊🥊👍👍
Epic video. What a man.
Wonderfully put together video, thank you very much.
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is the best heavyweight on the planet by an absolute mile. Not even close.
Top man indeed 👏
12:58 that fluid motion is a thing of beauty
One good all round fighter.simple .❤
humble giant what a legend
Quality skills. Watching him break over getting another fight of the night was the softer side. His arms and shoulders are heavy, they aren't over muscled. He's more flexible and faster. Man to watch.
Literally my favorite fighter .
Hey, CT, you're some "badass" director; awesome vids, awesome music, awesome narative... Kudos!
Great video really enjoyed this
Thanks for watching 👍
He’s such a sweetheart! Top Wigan lad.
Amazing video!
Tom the Bomb will go down as the HW MMA GOAT. He could beat Jones and Stipe on the same night, neither of them want that smoke...
Give him a days rest after smokin bones 😴
@@user-tm9qc7kb6j Nah he wouldn't need it....did you see how effing old Stipe looked? I used to love Stipe but my god he looks ancient and coming off that brutal KO at 40+ years old. Tom would murder him quicker Francis did.
tom got that dog in him. the dudes made it to the 2nd round only once in 9 fights. 8 wins 8 KOs. he got fight of the night 4times in a row in lmk it. his one loss was a fluke that resulted in him returning to the cage equipped with a bionic leg that increased mobility, the stability of his attacks, made him more versatile, and capable of kicking heads off shoulders. dudes top tier
He’s a good lad aswel makes him More likeable well in Tom 👊🏼
Tom is great . Love the guy . Hes so good and not a big head . Brilliant 😊
as a brit, seeing tom succeed like this is incredible. humble, relatable british lad yet he’s so fucking good. him and leon are doing the uk proud.
Knowing that he litterally stopped fighting to work a regular person job to provide for his family , we are so lucky his family beleived in him and allowed him to return to fighting , potentially the best heavyweight ever. Speed and awareness of available shots is unprecedented amd his takedown timing and commitment is top notch 👌 i think jones is fully aware that tom is the next phenom and i cannot wait for that matchup as it could go either way with jones' fight iq and experience definitely a 50/50 fight. Hopefully we see it before jones is past it. Jones oblique could be the answer?
Great video really enjoyed watching .
Thanks 👍
he was, and still is my pick for the next longterm champion at heavyweight once Ngannou left. He has all the tools and speed of an LWH, while still packing more power than the average heavyweight. He is, and always will be a problem.
superb
Tom your my hero bro 💪💪
It's mad to think a young lad like that from where I'm from could go as far as he gone.
Good video. I don't watch fight nights so i didn't know about Aspinall but this made me excited to watch him compete.
Thanks for watching!
Future legend of the sport!
