Apinall is a proper Brit with Blue Eyes
Top fighter and a top bloke…..Chael’s influence is undeniable.
The Main man of media claims to be the MAN of Aspinall content (Chael Sonnen<—-crap!) wtf!!!!! He expects TOM to talk and sell and BS, but NOT BLAYDES!..?!?
That’s weird considering Curtis is a definite HW top talent….?!?
I would like Hanging out with Tom, at his Gym, with his fam/team…learning about him/his gym/ what he spent the Queen’s Jubilee doing (as an American, what does the ALPHA of heavyweights do to celebrate all) etc! 🤗
I loved it when Tom said 1 on 1, 2 on 1, or 5 on 1; I’ll make em all need 9-9-9, he’s such a good promoter of himself.
What Tom says around around 6:30 mark regarding his financial situation makes his viral reaction to his 50k bonus even more powerful.
Aspinall is The best prospect the UK has ever had.
He's going to win that belt
Fantastic interview
Enjoyed it.

Cmon Tom 💪
I would love to see him vs Gane one day. Arguably the two most technical on the feet at HW.
Blades will a tough tough fight but I’m routing for Tom here 🏴
No doubt in my mind that he will champion in 3-8 years. He’s only gonna get better and he’s already insanely skilled.
Great interview this , felt kite convo like than script bs, 🔥🔥 🏴 🏴
It's great to have a Mancunian lad (manchester) in the heavy weight devision. 💪
Looking forward to watching Tom rise. Bags of potential and he's a savage.
Salford lads ain't to be messed with lol Salford has got the most notorious reputation in Manchester, believe me, that aside Tom's game as a badger.!
His ring intelligence is slept on, he's an intelligent fighter with great octagon I.Q
How short sighted and pathetic of the ufc as a platform to make it so difficult for their future superstars to stay in the game financially. This is why I listen to people like Tim Kennedy and Francis Ngannou and Ariel Helwani about fighter pay, branding, and health insurance.
Pure class in and out the cage What a human!
British warrior , old school vibes. Smart and hard as nails and one Damn good fighter, very excited to see more
Glad to see that Tom read Master Chael's script. Bravo!
nice of Chael to give him permission
It’ll be nice to see Chanel in the octagon again doing Tom’s post fight interview
Tom is a good fighter and i really hope he does the UK proud. BUT… HE IS SOOOO BORING. Just listening to him makes me wanna go to sleep. Brain Cells are limited. Deffo stick to fighting Tom.
He's the only UK standout that has the well rounded skill set from the jump to compete at the pinnacle.
Got love for the home team but, Till dropped the ball by having the grappling ability of my long deceased grandparent and Leon isn't going to be able to keep Usman off of him long enough to touch gold, love Allen but I doubt he defeats the top of that division.
But Tom, Tom is rounded from the jump; BJJ black belt, skilled kickboxer, skilled boxer having trained extensively with the Fury's, a good wrestling base for a UK staple. He's easily our best shot since Bisping.
I'd like to see Tom lose the goatee and grow a proper pugilist's (Eddie Wineland) type moustache.
Adam does a fantastic job for BT sports MMA … 👏
UFC sticking it to the Brit with the Curtis blaydes matchup , while the Frenchman Cyril got himself an easy matchup in tai tuivasa
Refreshing honest and sincere questions and real- honest answers. No fluff. Good interview.
Champion, is it for now or later?.
Will be a true test for Tom I’m sure he’ll pull through 🙌🏾
He will be champ by December 31st, 2026 at the latest
HWT Champ Come 2023 Will be Francis or Jones 2024 might consist of them two tied up in a trilogy as well (if Jones is returning) then come end of 2024 beginning of 2025 it'll be the Aspinall & Gane Show
Love this guy ❤ UK needs a heavyweight champ 🏆 No pressure geezer
I see tom I click watch and enjoy.
What is a woman?
Going to my first ufc event in London, he’s one of the main reasons! 🏴 go on mate
I think Gane is a tough test for tom
It's gonna be a tough fight for Tom, Blaydes has the wrestlering and power to KO him. I hope Tom pulls it off 🇬🇧
Good fighter but I feel he isn't ready for that Curtis Blaydes wrestling. Being pushed too fast just like Darren Till was.
Tom will be first to beat jones. Baddest man on the planet 🇬🇧
Heavyweights don’t get bothered for pictures as much as the smaller weight classes lol.
The right people at the right time believed in him and that makes me happy. Now he can help provide
Great to see Adam interview Chael for the first time
