Aspinall breaking the Chael curse, stuff of legends
One of the the few, if not, only times where the interim champ feels like the real champ.
facts if jon wants to fight stipe they should strip him
When he's not even the number one contender lol
his belt is worthless just like bispings fluke win power ranger belt
@@beaualoevv which belt do you have?
@@beaualoevv Fluke? Said no real MMA fan EVER!
I don’t think we’ve ever seen a heavyweight move like Aspinall. He’s a specimen and downright terrifying
Many heavyweights do. Fedor, Mirko, hell even Lesnar did.
@@theskunkatthegardenpartynone as quick as aspinal. I can see where you’re coming from, but give him some credit. Dude weighs 265 if not more and moves like a 185’er? That’s insane man.
@@joshuagonzalez5007Quick yes...Faster than Fedor ? NO
Tom has the best footwork of any HW. Also the fastest feet of any HW. Dude can grapple as well. Lots of exciting fights ahead for Tom. Jon Jones doesnt want non of Tom.
@@theskunkatthegardenparty mirko had quick kicks, that’s all. Fedor isn’t 6’5 260 either, he’s 220 and 6ft 😂 he’s quick af
"MIOKIK" "MIOCHIK" Undisputed stays true to himself, what a legend!
Sometimes he even spells the fighter name for the title but still thinks the name is something else entirely
@@handerp3750 he doesn't do that, that are his editors doing
i was waiting for a 3rd rendition of Stipes’ surname 😂 man I love this dude 👌🏼😅
When did Stipe get demoted to his last name being mispronounced? 🤣 Sad day for Stipe.
@@nexminute9880 yeah, I also waited for triple combo with "MIOKICH" =)
It’s said that Chael Sonnen can choke you out with a cordless phone
🤣🤣🤣
@@jd-rm4ez 😂😂😂 I can see you’re on the high IQ end of this community 🤣🤣
We have 1 guy who was the champ that wants to fight (Stipe), 1 guy who isn't champ but never lost the belt,(Francis), one guy who is the champ but is injured (Jon) 1 guy who just became champ (Tom) and 2 guys who lots of people think could be the champ (Sergei and Cyril). There are so many loose ends at HW it's hard to wrap your head around.
Sergei got starched in the 1st round by Tom.. And Bones choked out Cyril in seconds.. Not sure that lots of people think these guys could be champs.. More like gatekeepers or below.
Stipe never got his rematch instead Ngganoo ran & fought the French guy
Cirly couldn't be the champ with Tom or Jones on top, impossible, like actually impossible
@@generalneyland4005 they intentionally made that 2nd fight with Stipe and Francois in that small cage cause UFC knew that smaller cage would be against Stipe and still everything the UFC did for Francois as soon as he got the belt he wanted to be in complete control. GTFOH
@@TheNeoSabre0Difficult but definitely not impossible.
Chael went to NY and didn’t go on Ariel’s show, I respect it 🫡👏
The Pettiness and having a grudge makes Chael the real Bad Guy. Bad Guy move.
Yo I'm the sweepstakes winner that you meet at The hotel, both of us were saying apsinal before the fight and I have video of it we were positive. I'm very happy we got to meet you it was the best part of the trip.
I knew Tom would win as soon as i heard that he had a RidgeWallet
Lmfao
@@AjayAndrew-bz1qmhe’s made statements about it in his Instagram page so your wrong.
can someone explain this joke ive seen around?
@@Bill_Dippertly Anyone with a ridge wallet is a G. That's why I can't ever buy one
@@beauaIoevv_ I don’t think I could buy one either
Chael may be surprised but still has never lost a youtube round.
You know Tom is great when even the legendary uncle chael is getting his name right
Only 7 more Tom Aspinall videos until the “what is Francis gonna do next” videos start.
Tito tapped
Tito Tapped and Jones’ Toe Snapped
I believe i heared chael saying "tomed aspinall", that has to be my favorite now, he just put him in a different state of time.
Tom Aspinall vs Curtis Blaydes would be interesting since it’s in the Blaydes fight he got injured.
That’s the right fight to make as I’m pretty sure Blaydes gave Tom an opportunity against a Top 10 guy where others wouldn’t. It’s going to be a race between Blaydes and Gane as to who gets a win first and can then call Tom out on the public stage as they’re both on a loss right now and can’t really go into a title/interim fight from that.
Gotta love Stipe 'Mee-Oh-Kick' and Sergei 'Pavel-itch' lol
Calling Tom Aspinall the Interim Champ makes as much sense as pronouncing Stipe Miocic 4 different ways in 1 video.
😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
He does it on purpose, people are always commenting about it so he gets more interaction with his channel
For sure. It’s his schtick, he’s a marketing genius.
Lowkey one of Chaels best videos from start to finish in a minute
woke up today to find a fresh batch of videos where chael discusses the recent events transpiring from ufc 295, excellent
You bring up a great point. Tom showed a lot of heart and survived the initial onslaught from Sergey, something no other man has been able to do. But what happens if his opponent can do the same and it goes into the deep waters? We saw this when Francis first fought Stipe. It’s going to be real interesting
Rim did the same. Sidelnikov also. Although all three done in different ways. Rim clinch with him, Kirill outbrawl him and Tom out kickboxim so to speak.
Onslaught? One good shot connected, Tom shook it off then went to work hit him with two quick combos and it was done. Wouldn’t call that first shot (singular) an onslaught.
@@janpol466 ah yeah I forgot about reem
@@TerryHoskin yeah he almost got dropped, a few shots from these guys is an onslaught when they hit like Mack trucks. What I’m saying is Tom got through the first few minutes of the fight and many man before him have not been able to do that. Tom Vs Jon is a real interesting fight, but Jon’s not getting any younger so they’d better make it quickly.
2:55 When Pavlovich was walking out my thought was Ivan Drago IRL
Aspinals background is originally wrestling and he then became a master striker so yes he could have wrestled or underhooked if needed,Aspinal has a lot of aspects to his game.
Chael actually made a correct prediction! That’s my uncle! So proud of you uncle chael!
I thought SirJay was gonna get another KO since Asphalt points his chin to the ceiling. Oh well. Lol. Congratulations to baby Frank Mir!!
Uncle Chael....u rock
I think you've hit the nail on the head, I was in Tom's camp and thought the way to victory would be to take him down and submit him. The thought of Tom winning on the feet hadn't really crossed my mind, which makes his victory all the more special. He beat the Russian Sniper at his own game. - Would love to see Stipe vs Tom but I think Tom vs Cyril is more likely... even though it feels like Cyril was ducking Tom hard.
If Leon retains his belt next month, they need to make Tom the unified HW champ, give him stipe or whoever and let's headline a stadium with our 2 uk champions and make history
Tom's the fastest Heavyweight the sport has ever seen, only prime Fedor was on this level speed wise.
HW boxers where flat footed sluggers until Muhammed Ali came along and changed the game, it feels like Tom's doing the same thing with MMA heavyweight
What about jds and cain
Not even close, Cain isn't even known for his speed@@andre49ers
@@andre49ers Tom is about 20-30 lbs bigger than them and still faster, the way he cuts angles and can pull counter hasn't ever been done by a guy over 260lbs
Cyril Gane ?
I need a “few” more vids on this fight, Ngannou Style 😎
I thought Tom would get it done, cause he's the most complete in the division, I thought he'd be able to take Pavlovich down and keep grinding, beating him on the ground, making him work his way back up, beat his legs and body with kicks, take him down again, beat up on the ground some more... not a second in my life did I think he'd just find his range and have Pavlovich on skates with a one-two, all in the first round? in under 2 minutes? I don't think any of us, even the ones of us who thought Tom would win, thought that Tom would make it look THAT easy, crazy
Michael Bisping did.
I bet first round KO and won £100, Tom has the shortest average fight time in UFC history and 14 finishes out of 14 wins
I won $2000 on Tom winning in the first. Figured it'd be KO or a sub. I've been saying it, he's the better striker too. And he hits harder than Ngannou. Yes, I'm serious. This man touches people and they go down. His fight time and KO ratio proves it. No one else matches his.
I absolutely knew he would be champion when I first seen him fight.
Plenty of us from his home in north west England knew Tom would win , the guy is a monster
If Jiri and Jamal vacated the belt due to injury, why wouldn't JJ?
dana white privilege
Now folks can move Beyond just mentioning his speed, he has power
He surprised Sergei too !!
Tom has a chance to take over this somewhat underwhelming aging heavy weight division.. his potential if he improves and stays sharp is unfathomable
I got 8/1 on Tom getting it done inside 2 minutes Chael . I thought he'd get it done
Stipe looked terrified when the camera swung to him. He just said 'wow' and looked like he had just seen a ghost. Everyone knew tom was the full package but alot of people doubted his knockout power. And what tom did was tick the last box that people had doubts over. Now there are no doubts that tom can stand and bang with the big boys and win a fight anywhere. Stipes face was a picture, it said i don't want none of that smoke
Many fighters have skills like significant strikes, octagon control, takedowns, submission attempts. But nobody has had the CHARM to add to the mix, like Lord Chael!!! Undefeated, Undisputed !
Jeesh, take a breath before you start kissing a butt like that.
Get in the hole!
4:34 I did have Tom, but I had it at decision.. was shocked to see him knockout the boogeyman of the heavyweight division lol
Proper champ!!! 🏴👑
Tom Aspinwall has come a long way.
He surprised everyone. Knocking out that Russian KO monster. He even got rocked too.
Look real emotional in this video, you all good
01:23 - 01:26 were the hardest battles Uncle Chael fought. He won. Sergy and Miokick are now their names.
It's one thing to have the ability to become a champion? The really hard part is to do it in front of a huge crowd, all the lights, noise, and cameras, against an extremely dangerous opponent? And adding to that, something Tom admitted to? Is having to deal with his fear! You just have to respect that!
Father of Tom train him since he has 4 Years old he's a True Warrior Can Grapple, Strike and do everything and man he's Fast.
You say that about everyone....He Surprised Me… That's what it's like to be an expert, that you don't know in the end. But gaining knowledge and the different fighters is entertaining, I like that.
I had been saying Tom by KO since Jones got injured and the Tom/Sergei, BUT I did not expect it to be in the first round. In fact I had been saying that Tom had to get Sergei out of the first round, drain a bit of that Russians power, then start throwing his power shots and to take it even further I believed that the longer the fight went on, the later the round gave Tom the best chance for KO. I still believe that Toms advantage would have only gotten bigger the longer the fight went on but he sure didn’t need to wait to find out. Scary to know that Tom is known for having great cardio and his fights or his performances could get even better than what we’ve seen. He hasn’t had to show us much and from what I hear, his bag of tools runs deep. 🤯
Calf kicks in the first minute of round one dictated both main and co main It was obvious after two unchecked from the new champs-the direction the fight was gonna go
Faxxxxx I thought palvovich was gonna run threw aspinal
I know Chael doesn’t pronounce names great but at 7:03 he straight up said meechick for stipe. Like bro come on 😂😂
Chael combs his son's hair like the bad guy in the movies. Little guy is gonna be a menace!
"Ethan" is a BRAVE man 😅
Aspinwall done good
I wasn’t surprised
I was just saying damn Uncle Chael hasn't uploaded today
Soon as I saw him blow through Spivak live I knew he was special. I fully expected him to starch Pavlovic as he has with every one of his opponents. He'd given me no reason not to believe that. Where as Pavlovic had given plenty of reasons to believe he would be finished by Tom easily. People only look at the last fight someone had and act like they will do that to everyone they face. You have to look at the whole picture. He smokes Gane and Jones too.
I mean just watch him up against arlovski. That fight convinced me he was special
@@puddle-kartingArlovski is still his best challenge in the UFC. Now that's crazy. Proves what a legend Arlovski is. He really evolved with time.
After this i think gane needs to do something big next fight because barring injuries i think heavyweight title is tied up for most of next year
Ariel Tapped
Loved the Aspinall fight & win BUT what was the point of contracting a Back Up fighter if UFC hadn't already got a yes from both main fighters that he's who they fight in event of late drop out ?
you really had to add francis again, lol he has the kind of power that makes chael relevant
This video was pivotal, from the start.
+110 -120 THE MOST EVEN MOMEY YOU WILL EVER SEE also chael EVERYONE THOUGHT ASPINALL GETS KNOCKED OUT ON THE FIRST ROUND 😂
“The greatest heavyweight is named Tom’d aspinal” 🤪
Surprised me too. I didn't know he was that good.
Sergei never fought anyone who kept their feet planted and only moved their head. Feel like it really caught him by surprise, Tom took advantage
There are so many things we have not seen from Tom. I mean, we're yet to find someone who can survive the first round. With this history, I understand why it won't happen but a fight with Cyril would be interesting. Stipe is also interesting. Heavyweight is very interesting again
He would murder stipe. And I'm a massive stipe fan. I honestly think he'd submit gane in a round 1 aswell.
@puddle-karting as a Brit I fully approve your response 👌:). I am not sure about Stipe, how much speed he might have lost. As for Gane, I don't know how much Cyril has improved since the Jones fiasko. I would love to see it anyway:)
Yeah but they’re gonna be inactive for a while again
@@brianbuckman6908 yeah. Tom should get the undisputed belt. If they could do it in LHW....
@@brianbuckman6908 true. I hope gane man's up and takes on Almeida, tom takes on the winner of that and then takes on winner of stipe and Jones..but I have a feeling Jones and stipe will both retire. Either way I think Tom becomes undisputed in 2024
Uncle Chael has made a career of mis-pronouncing names in ways NOBODY else does 🤣 Good for Aspinall, it was a great fight and now hes the Champ!
Silly that Dana says “offering an intermittent championship to Stipe is disrespectful” and Chael agrees with it… Stipe lost the belt. As great as he is, he lost the belt. And he’s been out for years… Why does he somehow always “deserve” a championship fight?
Yep I think it's because realistically he is the only name that would sell a decent PPV with Jon Jones the rest of the HW are unknown.
Correct, I picked Tom but thought it would go past 1.
Jon rolls both Sergei and Tom up within 2 rounds everyone knows the rules
Nah he has to actually do it and prove it
Nope. Not this time. Tom is next level
First i love uncle chael
What a charming old man…
Wel for one Sergei wasn’t expecting that speed so TOM got kinda lucky
Undefeated undisputed king…. I’d love a job working for you that would be a dream come true
I’ve been watching UFC since Tito vs Chuck 2 and I must say, if Stipe were to walk in front of me, I wouldn’t even know it.
The more I watch Chael, the more I’m convinced he has absolutely nothing to say
He surely is the master of fluff
I love you Uncle Chael. Youre bloody good at talking sir! Always insightful and posing a perspective I didnt think of. Thank you for everything
Frank Mir's love child is something else.
Saw polls for the fight and Aspinall was fave in all of them?
I think both want Jones but a fight between the two would be good to see also.
Michael Bisping has been calling Aspinall for about 3 years now, so there was at least one guy saying this was going to happen.
I took shit all week on here for saying Aspinal would dominate Pavolich and it wouldn't even be close. I compared it to Ciryl vs Lewis and I threw 100$ on Tom to win by KO/sub and won a pretty penny
Uncle Chael needs to be in GTA 6
I'm a big fan of Tom and on a more occasions than not, he has surprised me. I thought he would lose and he wins, he's a beast. I will keep thinking he will lose as a good luck thing
⚡💯
It’s fucking disrespectful to offer a guy who’s not fought in 2 years a championship fight! What about gane ?… what about all the other top 10 contenders ?! The next fight for Tom is jones … period … he’s earned that
Has Chael himself ever spoke about the brawl vs 5 guys incident in december 2021? I found out about that story recently and cant find much about it but I am extremely curious to hear it from Chael perspective. Does it have a lot to do with some legal stuff so Chael cant talk about it because I cant think of any other reason why he wouldnt tell this story.
I’ve heard he’s travelled back to Vegas to make court appearances related to the night in the past but hopefully the case didn’t go too far.
where have you been in the woods ?? as chael would say dont bring up old business.
Apparently it was 9 guys ( he said it to us in a live video) But I heard he beat up 5 guys that were “getting to close” lol while with his wife, they were trying to go back to their hotel He never really made a video but would reference it every now and then
@@L3WIS666okay thanks for the reply, would love to hear whole story from him in a video
He did all the talking he needed with his fists. Undisputed.
Tom needs to defend his interim belt vs stipe within the next 3-4 months. then the winner faces Jon 3-4 months after that. It lines up perfectly. And stipe wanted to fight anyway
Is this new set permanent? I liked the old setup with the big sign and wider shot.
This way we can see them magician hands signal in the narrative better
We need to shout aspinall v miocic from the mountaintops. Aspinall doesn't just beat Jones, he does it inside one round.
You're Welcome Chael 6:10
Tommy Aspinwall!!!
Tom’s my guy
Bruh I’ve been saying it here for weeks Damn Chael I knew aspinal was a different breed I got parlay and single bets to prove it I put my money where my mouth was
i think Tom takes Franics and Jon vs Tom is the fight to make
I wonder how a fight between Jon or Tom vs the undefeated LWH/HW champion in ONE FC Anatoly would go.
them glasses a bit tight Unc?
HW champ is Tommy 🏴 👑 ❤️
