If you've made it here, you're a real aspinall fan. This was a mile long scroll to find something new lol. Damn commentator made a soulja boy reference, this shit old af 🤣
turns out, by anyone with half decent take downs unfortunately. thankfully the ufc heavyweight division has very few wrestlers, hopefully they keep matching him up with strikers
@@andrewtregoning this was 7 years ago in his 4th fight. Tom has developed alot in every area since this fight and is physically a different animal now too
@@John11- So? The guys been training since a little kid AND had 30 pounds on the guy...how does that make sense? That's not something that should happen. I'm not saying he wouldn't beat Jon but Jon entered the UFC after 9 months of training? Do you see Jon Jones losing to a nobody whilst having 30 pounds on the guy?
its nice to see heavyweights that are knowledgeable on the ground although in mma i'd like to see a greater focus on cardio and speed at that weight class
This was embarrassing. Aspinal is heavier by quite a margin, pretty much solid muscle, however he got manhandled, held against his will on the bottom, and pounded on. He would make attempts to change his position but then he's still end up on the bottom. What the hell aspinall? You have 30 lb on this guy
The commentary here was a bit unfair on Stuart, his grappling at this point was much higher level that Toms. Stuart was full English Cadet level in Judo and had trained from a very young age. He wasnt really just a black belt, he was an international level junior fighting for team GB.
His wrestling & grappling hasn't even been tested since & ppl are so confident he beats Jon Jones, not me, I knew he'd beat everyone he's beaten so far, Jon on the other hand is the 1 I'm picking against Tom.
@@ArseneBorz It depends on how Blaydes decides to fight if he mixes his wrestling I'd say 60% because I'm not too confident only because for all we know Tom's ground game defense is so much better. But if Curtis decides to stand & trade I give Curtis about 45% I'd say. What's your opinion?
I think Tom would have the world of respect for the guy, Austin gave up next to thirty pounds to Aspinall, that's like another weight division. Show respect to the Victor, that's some weight to give up
To be fair, this is an early fight of Tom’s. He’s absolutely improved since then. I will say his wrestling and cardio didn’t look the best in the fight, though.
@@stephencox8723 His wrestling & grappling hasn't even been tested since then, what if it still sucks? Which is why ppl shouldn't be confident he'd even beat Jon.
@@grammargestapo6654 doesn’t have an exclusive contract anywhere at the moment, was with EFC in South Africa but has also fought on a couple of local UK shows.
How many unanswered punches is that wrath going to allow for Stewart Austin? If it was UFC that fight would have been stopped before Austin got that heel lock. What a crazy ending. I wish UFC would give people that much time to defend themselves and get out of a situation like Stuart had to work with at the end of this fight
What happened to Tom Aspinall? He was good here, sure, but he went on to become probably the ONLY heavyweight to have surpassed Fedor and Cain in sheer skill.
The young HW fighters in the UFC don't have great fights like this. Other than Magomedov, and Rosholt these guys could probably blow out most of them. They are more versatile than Rosholt too. A big Brit striker would always have the chance of KO over that guy.
@@stephencox8723 You made no sense there. If Im happy that Aspinall lost to this guy, why would I be even more satisfied if he THEN lost to Johnny Walker? I like Tom, one of my top fav fighters now.
@@RatedRRaj if the guy who beat Aspinall loses to someone else who isn’t a world beater that devalues Aspinall even further. And of course you’re an Aspinall fan now he’s had plenty bandwagon fans as of recent.
@@user-fd5gp4xv4zAre you a casual? Who were the 4 hall of famers that he beat in 1 year lmao.

My brother is about the same size as Tom, my brother is 6 foot 5 and weighs 17 and a half stone which is about 6lb lighter than Tom and that’s a big unit.
@@chizzelfingers You sound scared and triggered. The fact that a guy who is not a wrestler and weighs 30 pounds lighter than Tom can take him down easily and control him is very telling. Jones is one of the best wrestler in the ufc and is very difficult to take down. Tom aspinall can train grappling for as long as he wants after this but the fact remains that he is not a wrestler. During this fight Tom was already an accomplished grappled still he got ragdolled. Jones said that he would be taking notes in the Aspinall vs Blaydes fight. I will be watching too. But after watching this fight, apart from Tom blitz and heavy hands, Jones wins this fight. When Jones was 23 years old he was dominating the competition. That cannot be said for Tom aspinall who has three loses in his career compare to Jones one loss.
what I was thinking lol. Jon aint tapping to a bum like this and sure as hell ain't losing. Vitor had a submission way more locked in than that and thats vitor
Who else is here to see who beat this monster
Me
Not me
3 4 5 6, Tom's knees made from wheatabix
This was before he turned into a pro boxer
Obviously he’s beatable

A fighter learns the most about himself and the sport when he loses
I’m 30 secs into the first round and I can already see Tom has improved a whole lot since. His development is a great thing to see
The only legit loss in Tom s career
Surprised Aspinall tapped so quick he must have bad knees. We saw that against Curtis Blaydes
Damn, that heel hook come out of no where, good fight !
Here to see how the heck Tom could lose. Fantastic fight.
Me too. After his UFC debut!
Lol me to what a fight one of the best I've seen

@@andrewtregoning this was 7 years ago in his 4th fight. Tom has developed alot in every area since this fight and is physically a different animal now too
@@andrewtregoning He lost focus so the other guy took advantage just like when Paul Craig defeated Magomed. This won't happen again.
The fight that made Tom Aspinall
The only man to legitimately beat Aspinall.
Who's here after he won the interim championship?
Its amazing the transformation Tom has made and experience he's now gained is second to none!
No one has really tested his tdd, he has better technique now probably but his wrestling here is very concerning
@@seanc7990 This was years ago though..
@@bailey_613 I know but also keep in mind he trains at Team Cabon same gym as darren till who has some of the worst tdd i've ever seen.
Didn't look so great in the Arlovski fight, poor cardio and lack of punching power. Needs to come back bigger and start knocking people out cold.

Considering how well Tom Aspinall is starting to do in the UFC, this guy actually put up some competition to Tom.

He looks Younger now in some ways, certainly in better shape and a lot more advanced
What He Become Now Tom's level has actually improved terrifyingly
Here after his big win
A 220 pounds heavyweight? Man he's crazy.
Here after the Volkov match
Tom lost this fight, but look at him now.
He’s undefeated in the UFC!

stuart austin needs to be at 205 cause hes gonna have some issue with these 250+ pound wrestlers in the ufc and other big orgs

Not even close to Fedor.

he's UFC HW champion now
That looked like he almost gave it to him.
And the ref took forever.
The fight should have been stopped about 30 seconds before the heel hook.

Put him in with Gane now, a high movement fight
I did'nt know that Aspinall lose one time lol
