To funny bro way to funny. The whole gag came full circle over a week. With the hay bale lol tom ur the goat good luck. Waking up helwani for guest appearance lol
respect to tom n andy, but dont do this, it does not harden knuckle bone, just the skin.. inhalation alone can mess you up, never mind absorbing it through the skin pores... i thought you was trollin by saying ya did this.. most travellers arent the brightests of sparks .. Good luck on saturday though.

I love Tom man such a gentleman, and has the utmost respect for everyone regardless of their age, colour or status - can’t wait to see you do your thing on Saturday. I will be there live supporting brother. All the best❤
Youre living the dream tom! All that hard work finally paid off and now youre on top of the world!! Congrats on an epic finish in your own hometown defending the strap!
Tom, you are looking absolutely f’n ripped my guy!! Ive been rooting for you from the moment I watched you throw your knee up the middle into a hard right elbow to Jake’s temple to drop him… When I saw that, I knew you elite; not that move is overally special, it’s the way you threw those moves in tandem which was so impressive to me! You already know this, but, you got this Saturday night!! Soak it in my man, it’s going to be absolutely incredible!
I have only just started following Tom Aspinall. What a great guy. I’m not the biggest MMA fan. But I have to admit, I will definitely be following Tom Aspinall. Good luck God bless. You are now setting the standards of how famous sports people should be. Good on you. Respect from the Sproston family in Wythenshawe Manchester 🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇👌👌👌👌👌🍀🍀🍀🍀
It must work if generations have done it. I am from Eastern Europe some of the tallest and toughest man you will ever meet. World statistic is we are tallest even than Scandinavian states. I am 6'4" Croatian by blood and fighting spirit. Brits are as well some of the if not The Toughest fighters and people I have seen. Tom trained with Ante so he knows about our mentality and power). Tom you are a warrior and all that hard work since age 6 is coming to pay off. Never let the money be the motivator and run you astray. Be stoic my friend and savage at same time. Lion of Britain.
Use your position to promote autism awareness bro I’m also a parent with a child with autism my sons 15 now and doing things I never thought possible I feel you’re pain but they’re different for a reason they’re special ❤
I’m from Australia and I give toms Channel the big thumbs up and I watch alot of mma channels from around the world the world and toms is class I really enjoy it the inside look into toms preparation and training and behind the scenes stuff and I rate his it’s right up there and would put it up against any mma channel out there well worth a watch great content tommy put out and very entertaining I can’t stop watching them now ever since I discovered the channel
My dad used to do this on accident to clean off driveway sealer from his hands. We are Romani Gypsies and he did handyman work to make ends meet. He was tough as hell and could punch a hole in a brick wall. Pretty sure all the chemicals with no personal protective equipment gave him cancer though. I'm American and we didnt live live English and Irish travellers. We did, however, do a lot of fighting in general though although most of it was within the family, sadly. Messed up bunch and I separated from that life years ago. Hard way to live with the way they work and treat their bodies. RIP dad you dxckhead.
@@shhea there is a myth that it works. At least the Gypsies say. He never did it for that reason but I thought it was funny when I found out later in life. Makes me wonder if cleaning your hands like that had been done by lots of them from a generation or two back and that is maybe how the myth started.
I used to work with a guy from bristol who was a bare knuckle fighter and he would make a fist and twist and punch his fists in to buckets of sand , he had thick skin on his knuckles that were about 5mm thick and were rock hard , he was a real nice fella with lots of stories from the 60s and 70s going around the country fighting to make extra cash and a lovely guy and a good machine driver aswel lol
Old school Karate practitioners would do this also. Also they use the makawara board like Jiri does. You don’t want to get hit by a strike from one of these guys who have conditioned their hands for years. They would be able to break your bones with a strike much easier then a regular fighter..😲
Idea for a good cause. Tom could have custom shorts that integrate a jigsaw puzzle. Then can sell them after the fight to raise (hopefully) a lot of money for an autism charity as they will be 1 of 1
@dyfox3856 Who does he need to take down dipshit? Junkie Jon can't take him down or stand with him, that's why he keeps running away to fight the old fireman 😂
This is a highly unintelligent technique, dude. Could just be like Bruce Lee and constantly hit wooden board with the knuckles to further develop the callous.
Lad your TH-cam has grown so quickly! Fair play to you and the team. Excellent work! Loving the content and keep er lit. Sending love from an Irish lad travelling Thailand atm. ☘️
The average fighter wouldn't upload this kind of content until after the fight, fair play to Tom. His pragmatic and chilled approach is great to watch and these insights are very entertaining. Brilliant interaction with Bisping, a similar post fight chat would be awesome! 🐝
Always a pleasure Aspinall team ⛽️🤛🤣 we got Ariel good! Back tomorrow night with behind the scenes of press conference and weigh-ins! 🔥

Ariel answering the phone at n ungodly time while in the middle of olympic prep shows how much he cares about MMA (and how big Tom is)
What is he doing at Olympics? Genuinely curious. By the way the Olympics in Paris are disaster they literally push pro satanist propaganda
He cares more about his paycheck and buy answering the phone he makes money

That's a great idea he should look into wearing them once Dana gives him his real title fight
Sell replicas and then a portion of those will go to helping autistic children. Id buy some. Not Vale Tudos tho, some board shorts or some Thai ones
But at the same time it’s bullshit that the fighters can’t have their own shorts, all down to Dana. Let them have at least one sponsor of their own
