Tom is an absolute credit to UK and worldwide mma 👏 these are the champions we need the youth of tomorrow to look up too rather than the trash talking predecessors!
Both are important TBF. Beef is always fun for a fight build up. But the role models are super important too, guy's like GSP and Shogun, Mighty Mouse and Tom are great for the sport cause they're more like me in that they're not complete wankers
Tom Aspinall is exactly what the UK needs for MMA...don't get me wrong Bisping was great but he lives in cali, paddy is a a rebel English and Leon is Jamaican lol
I think leon and tom are both amazing champs leon is good for Jamaican British people and Tom is good representation for British people both are good role models.
And bukayo is a Nigerian yeah ? Save for when he’s done well , and then you’ve no problem claiming your national team are world class ? White people can never just embrace their countrymen without asterisks when they don’t share the same skin color it’s disgusting
@beaualoevv haha format doesn't just mean the environment of the interview... The whole structure - or lack thereof - of the conversation is what makes it very natural but the amount of talking points and fluidity of conversation mean it is still engaging... It's not that hard to infer what the commenter meant
I could see that Tom didn't much like Beard Meets Food guy. There was awkwardness, and the other guy said some strange things, I think out of nerves, or maybe cockiness, and Tom wasn't comfortable. This, IMO, is one of the best interviews with Tom. Good questions, and you two seemed very comfortable around each other.
Real people recognize real people, he's gotta be one of the most genuine working class, salt of the earth blokes in the UFC! We love him over here but it's fantastic to hear folks from across the pond give him his props too! 😊 Cheers.
As a fellow north westerner I can't wait for this fight. We are both 31 and called Tom so you're obviously the fighter I always have and always will follow. We are behind you Tom you've got this put some hands on that big dosser :D
wonderful interview thanks - what a lovely environment! Tom and his dad reminds me of the closeness of Khabib and his father outstanding father - son relationships! best of luck in and out of the octagon Tom!
This interview is actually really good. Genuine flowing conversation and the interviewer was asking questions that only came up because of how the conversation was going.. Not because he had them pre-written. Like when they start talking about the Fury's and then asks if Tom saw the netflix show about Tyson. It's not a Tyson Fury interview but the conversation just went that way.
Alright.. I'm 18 minutes in and I fucking love this interviewer. He's mentioned his kids again and you can see that's affected him. Genuine bloke he is.
We love Aspinal here in Louisiana as well..He and Poirier seem cut from the same cloth. Fighters but genuine good men. And if Jones ever stops running Tom gets him out of there early
Never ceases to amaze how these media Co's insist on mixing food with talking.. Eating and interviewing don't mix, going out for dinner with your lady or meeting up with friends works, as the silent chewing moments don't matter. Don't recall Rogan wheeling out a Thai buffet to his guests, or Parkinson presenting his a full Sunday roast.
What a difference between the two and of course, both sets of families from Manchester, you’ve got Tom and his father then you’ve got Tyson Fury and his father??
Dang Tom. You make it impossible to dislike you. I always try to rep Americans. But the way Tom carries himself and the morals he has you can't help but to support the Man. He carries himself so much better than Jones has ever. That's been my only dislike about jones. Super talented, horrible person outside the cage. Got my vote Tom. Max,Alex, Dustin, Wonderboy, and Tom all class act outside the cage from what we get to see.
@08:24 After Tom talks up the pork, this geezer only leans over the table and takes a bit of the meat from Tom's plate, with hs flipping fingers. WTF were knives and forks invented for? Where's your manners man! What a bloody Space Invader.
I guarantee he is, this is why he's been so devastating in the UFC, he is the consummate professional!! He does say that this is probably his hardest matchup but I still think he will get Curtis out of there within three rounds..
Guy sparked out Pavlovich on two weeks' notice after not being able to train because he was injured. I don't think him having a bit of food and a chat is going to affect his performance.
With jones , eye pokes and elbows will be less worrisome than Jon trying to take out Tom's knees . Don't think jon would lose any sleep if kicked toms knees out and crippled him , as long as he won.... Anything to win and for legacy...
Tom sold an old car to John Fury but the car was still in Tom's name so the parking ticket came to Tom even though John got the ticket. Tom was nervous to ask John for the money to pay the ticket.
Just to clear this up big difference with a champion & interm champion... toms only got a interm belt it means nothing. Total misclaimer this, rename it interm champion please
