Tom Aspinall On Injury Reality, Retirement, Boxing Criticism, Sparring With Tyson Fury & The UFC
Our guest today is UFC star, Tom Aspinall.
Born in Atherton, he started learning traditional martial arts aged seven. Now, standing at six foot five, weighing 18 stone, he sits fifth in the UFC’s heavyweight rankings.
But the path to a successful MMA career for a British heavyweight is not an easy one. Speaking about that journey, he said: “There were some days I had 20 quid and had to decide am I going to feed the kids or am I going to put fuel in the car to go and train”
He was undefeated in the UFC, with all kinds of cash bonuses for first round finishes, until a freak injury in his last fight blew his knee apart. A year later, he returns to the Octagon.

The next British UFC champ 🏆
If they paid enough money. Dillian Whyte would fight him at the O2 and hurt him
Someone ask some different questions lol 😂
This isn't anything knew. When I boxed I walked in a nightclub bathroom trying to clean myself up. Covered in someone else's blood. After boxing at an event there that evening. Trying to push my way past drunks This isn't going to be the first time he's had blood on him
This is very toxically masculine
In a 3 fight deal at the very least tom is winning 2-1 even against jone in my opinion. The man moves better than anyone could stand with anyone and I've got a feeling he's even better on the ground but hasn't shown us yet.
