Following the announcement that the UK’s Tom Aspinall will step up to fight for UFC interim gold at UFC 295, UFC commentator John Gooden was granted exclusive access to visit Tom in camp. In this Up Close mini series, John observed Tom during a training session and sat down with him at length to talk about his shortened preparation and his mindset ahead of his biggest and most dangerous fight yet. Plus, John also chatted with the key members of Team Aspinall to gauge the anticipation ahead of the title fight against Sergei Pavlovich.

Prepare yourself people, for real. I genuinely believe Tom Aspinall is truly special, and more than capable of beating Jon Jones. I truly believe Tom has what it takes to be the greatest heavy weight of all time !

@daveh9080 7 месяцев назад

I completely agree. I do believe Tom does not have a ceiling as to how good he could be. The ONLY thing that worries me with Tom is he’s almost too aggressive. When he fought blades (I know he got injured) but I feel like he was a little Reckless with those exchanges, If he does that with the Russian, it could be A quick KO for Sergei. Other than that, I don’t see a hole in Tom’s game and I hope he goes far in the UFC.

@TheTrueWelshIdiot 7 месяцев назад

It's an overused narrative this. You don't need to move your chin if you are not in range. Tom uses footwork to judge distance (plenty of boxers do this), not head movement. I'm not saying it's not dangerous, but of far more concern should be how Pavlovich closes distance.

If Tom aspinal wins this weekend and jon jones wins, the fight between Tom and Jon would be one of the most intriguing fights ever. And i think that Tom aspinal has everything to beat Jon jones.
