To see how Curtis was evolving thru his training is amazing inspiring
It’s great to see him get an in depth showing because I barely knew who he was before but now I’m happy whoever wins because both men are great people and fighters
True AF
I love it when 2 men can have a fight without chatting crap about each other, these are higher value men imo
@@ThatOneInTenThousand only causals say that
The fans who love the drama are just reality tv fans that found MMA
Both are incredible fighters.
Blaydes is one inspiring character
Both these heavyweights seem like great men.
Do not overlook Blaydes. The dude made massive improvements in his striking over the last few years. He's not the same sloppy heavyweight fighter he was before. He, together with Aspinall, are the only 2 fighters who're really well rounded in the game right now.
I assume you just mean in HW?
@@harrydavey9884 Yes, of course ; )
@@harrydavey9884obviously bro, how did you get confused
@@samuelstevens1129 just because some UFC comments are unhinged as hell 😂 don't act like I'm nuts for clarifying comments.
@@harrydavey9884 I first said 'He's not the same sloppy heavyweight fighter he was before', so i assumed you knew i was talking about the heavyweight division.
Who else here wants Tom Aspinall to WIN and then finally go against Jon Jones??
Tom vs Jon would be a very close fight and one we NEED ❤
May the best Man win.. I like both Curtis & Tom
Acting like we been waiting forever 🤦♂️ 🤡
Jones is facing charges rn
@@AntThaMan We have waited a while, Tom is having to defend the Interim belt which doesn't happen very ofter.
The *REAL* heavyweight championship fight between the two best heavyweight fighters. Jon is, and has been irrelevant for many years now.
🤡
Then why mention him? 😂
True.
Jones became irrelevant in my eyes wen he popped for cheating, fake champ
TA to smoke CB early
My man Tom getting it done in one🏴👊
With the recent charges against Jon Jones the UFC should strip him of the belt and make this fight for the undisputed. Why the UFC wants someone as champion who drunkenly threatened and intimidated a woman who showed up to collect a drug test sample is honestly wild. Jon Jones is a disgrace to the UFC.
Dana White doesn't care about stuff like that. The fact he thinks the sun shines out of Trumps arse, is all you need to know.

@JayDee-w3dwish he aimed it better.
Curtis is such a good dude I'll always wish him well 🙏🏻
I'm genuinely curious, what makes you say that?
I'm sure he has good qualities, but I stopped following him on social media after seeing him be rude to some fans that were just trying to show him love.
@@NigelLiottaMacDonaldI’m sure he cares about you unfollowing him from social media. Get over yourself…
@shawnecmc5190 You misunderstood.
I would honestly like to see examples of him being a good dude.
Maybe he was just having a rough time when he was being rude to fans.
@@NigelLiottaMacDonald If you don’t know him personally, you could get that favorable impression of him (1) through others’ word or (2) by watching his interviews.
You seem to have a negative impression of him by just a couple of minutes of his life.
Are you sure if you were in his position, that you would *ALWAYS* be receptive to fans who approach and ask things of you?
Are you always in the same mood?
@shawnecmc5190 Seems you misunderstood again.
When I said, "Maybe he was just having a rough time when he was being rude to fans" I was making the same point you just tried to make.
Any particular interviews or clips you'd recommend?
Blaydes head coach talking about taking Aspinall into deep waters when no one’s even gotten close yet, plus Blaydes is always there to be hit and if ngannou and pavlovich can put him away Tom definitely can and will.
Blades has been put to sleep how many times and Tom has been taken into the 2nd round how many times?
@@d.c-jr8015 exactly Aspinall by KO 1st round all day I think he’s just too supreme of a talent to lose at the moment. He’ll prob get caught with a shot one day but I don’t think it will be for a good while imo
@@d.c-jr8015He was put to sleep one time, by Derrick Lewis. Other were TKO
@@d.c-jr8015 you're right . Ton didn't last more then 1 round with Curtis
Now i can see Blaydes is no joke
@JayDee-w3d Jones is something else
It took you this long to notice?
@@ImextremelyAsian-c9g i haven't seen him fight
Dude can fight agressive as hell when he wants to, only problem is he always shits the bed in important fights that he should have won.
@@DarrellWilkerson4.6 Other than Lewis, can you really say he should have won vs Sergei or Francis?
This is a must win for Tom. Not only for himself but also for the whole division.
Good luck Tom
Tough one for Tom. Best to both.
The biggest plot twist would be it Blades wins 😂😂😂
He most certainly can win
It's going to be Tom's hardest challenge yet
How aspinall done nothing for mma@JayDee-w3d
@@arpitanand4693Sergei was his hardest opponent also 😂
That's what makes this sport great , you just never know what will happen, one strike can change a fight especially at heavyweight.
Tom is a better fighter since the injury , sure heavyweights only need one big dig but Tom is fast too fast for Curtis
🏴Big Tom will win.
People saying tom fans are fanboys. Come on. Can you deny that skill level
What skill level bro tapped to a guy 18-8 bones literally nearly had is arm snapped by belfort and still escaped that’s skill son real skill don’t discredit a goat for a lamb
@PokemonElliot definitely lost to Reyes, and arguably lost to Santos... who has since been cut by the UFC. You Jones fanboys don't know what you're watching.
He's the size of Brock Lesnar without the Steroids. Besides his all around skills are way better than Lesnar also. Tom is the future of the Heavyweight division. I see him holding his belt for longer than anyone at heavy weight and actually giving Jones and Silva a run for the records they hold for title defenses.
@@KingDomsKingdom85both of those fights Jones got hit the hardest by both of them two, if he gets hit like that by Tom he is going to get K.O'd by him easily at Heavy weight. If you deny that possiblity then your a Jones fanboy. Tom is all natural at 6'5" 265lbs and a better striker than Jones, his grappling is definitely on the level of Jones. Again he's the size of Lesnar with all the abilities that Jones possess. Bones should have stayed at light heavy weight, he's not a heavy weight. Just training he tears a pec muscle because he's not made to be fighting men that size. Curtis Blades is going to give Jones a real run for his money and I'll bet Blades wins the wrestling and striking, not to mention he's also naturally bigger than Jones without the help of PED's.
@@d.c-jr8015 love this
Tom absolute powerhouse and levels above Jones in skill, power and desire. Legit nice guy and Champion without dirty knee stomps and eye pokes.
Hope he faces Stipe for a fight and no matter who wins we will have an absolute best.
Pavlovic will get the belt no doubt when his time comes.
That man has the Power and ability no other one possess.
Even Tom was shocked when he won.)
Let's see if Blades has something to say about it).
Tom out off all of them is the most well rounded.
Spell check my Croatian-English!
Lets Go!!!
Tom tapped like a 🐔to a guy 18-8 some skill that buddy😂real skill Jon escaping belforts armbar fully locked in that even Thomas would of tapped to but only goats escape👌
Insane
@@PokemonElliotJones ON ROIDS got trashed by bum Reyes, bum Gustafsson and 1 leg Santos 🤣 there is a reason he's ducking, because he'd lose to both Aspinall and Blaydes.
@@gigachad6885 and there’s a reason after all 3 of those lost they all went on losing skids boys were never the same after meeting a man 😂
@@PokemonElliot you're proving my point, Jones ON ROIDS got trashed by those 3 bums 🤣
And when he does fight Bones I hope he walks the fucking floor with him
Wipes the floor with him
Real heavyweight champion and real heavyweight title contender right there
Good fathers raise good men.
The world needs more good men like aspinal
Tom's awesome. Knee injury is so scary imo. LG Tom and Belal!
Belal is a L. bro will hold the record for most consecutive boring title fights if he wins
Not belal
THIS makes You a Fighter Tom! Now reborn Lets fckin Get it!!!
Just wanna say that Curtis has *epic* beard
Rooting for Tom big time being from uk. But i have to say Curtis is one of the good guys in mma, a class act.
✌️
Some guys are writing curtis off here. Hes a freak of nature
I think Curtis can win this
It's hw mma, tai tuivasa almost koed Gane
Curtis can defo win, he’s toms toughest matchup in the division. Both are pretty bad matchups for one another but Curtis wrestling is elite. Let’s see if Tom can deal with that if it gets there
@@laurenzb.1919 Tai tuvasa got completely outclassed
@@2ClutchCorey It's pretty simple. If Blaydes gives Tom even a hard time with his wrestling but loses Jon Jones will destroy Tom. He's levels ahead
@@ChantelJordan-fm7kx he did but he sent him down once though.
Two grappling heavyweights with incredible striking. Damn I'm keen for this!!!
To me the main strategy for Aspinall should be to keep the fight standing as much as possible.
And for Blaydes the main strategy should be to grapple him to whereever he wants the fight to be as much as possible.
With that being said those two are well rounded fighters, so they can win in other ways.
Like Tom but I really want Curtis to get his hand raised.
No matter who wins this. It’s gonna be a crazy fight! Good luck Tom and Curtis.
It's actually ridiculous how Jon Jones is the only thing holding Tom back from already being an active Champion and the UFC has been okay with that.. Jon Jones is good but he's NEVER put on consistent dominant performances how TOM ASPINALL HAS! The UFC should be FULLY behind Tom, not holding him back.. Regardless Tom will push thru & stay optimistic thru anything
looking forward to this, i like both these fighters...both humble and well skilled.
Oh man, now I'm really rooting for Blaydes. Good, humble dude.
I can't wait to see who's the heavyweight champion is going to be between these two,
They should get rid of the other title that doesn't mean anything that Jones has.
The interim title means nothing. It was world number 2 vs world number 5 at 10 days notice. It should have been world number 2 vs world number 3 with a proper camp so both could claim its a legitimate title. You do realise Tom has only beaten 1 fighter who was ranked top 5 at the time, and that was that fight, at 10 days notice. Its not really a legitimate record to claim you are the champ lol
@@sticktothefacts8905 what's the point of letting Jones keep the belt?
So he can beat someone who hasn't fought in 4 years, got knocked out cold, and doesn't have a win over anyone on the UFC roster and walk away from the sport? Assuming he doesn't mess it up along the way?
I would like the Heavyweight belt to move on since it's not going to move on because of Stipe.
@@Tyranno-Bore-Us Where did I say that? Imagining things.
I said this interim title means nothing. It was thrown together by Dana dangling the carrot of a fake belt to save a PPV from having no headline at 10 days notice.
And if winning that fight, over then world number 2 (who has since lost his next fight), is your only win against a world top 5 (at the time), its not the pedigree to be called the champ.
Now beating Blaydes starts to change things. Thats 2 top 5 wins. Thats a much stronger position to call out Jones
@@sticktothefacts8905 Jones is retiring after the Stipe fight, he said so.
There is no point in calling him out, he is not a part of the heavyweight division unless your name is Stipe.
Let's go Blaydes. He beat him once and he'll do it again.
Shoulda been a NC
Did he now? Did you cry when Tom showed everyone who the superior fighter was? Did you cry when you realised curtis' "win" over Tom in 2022 was a FLUKE.
I hope Alex moves up.
HW has the potential to be the most exciting division, but unfortunately we didn't get all the big fights between Francis, Jon, and Stipe and the last several years haven't been what they could have.
Stuttering is genetic? That's wild. This fight going to be a banger
As an Aspinall supporter, it's really easy to like Curtis. He's worthy of so much more recognition.
To all the mean kids who bullied him: Who's laughing now? Hopefully, they rasied their kids better.
I want Tom to win, but not because I want Curtis to loose. Regardless, they're both worthy of all the success 🙏🏻
Please strip Jon and give the winner the real belt. Jon can fight him, if he has balls ..
Tenth. For every like I’ll donate $1 to Wounded Warriors!
Nah you don’t have that much money bud.
Begging 🙏 likes 😅
@@CrZY_DnKS you’re right, I don’t have 22 dollars.
Never clocked the stutter
The UFC is brilliant at showing the hardwork and sacrifice these fighers put in ,we only see the fun stuff but its good to see the human side of these Elite fighters.
If Curtis wins he can be the Charles Olivera of the heavy weight division. He’s only getting better and better
Curtis blaydes is such a good person! I hope he gets it done!
I think Tom might win this one by submission in the 3rd round
Who
@@trueking1857 Tom
@@EverythingPablo05 yeah i agree
Blaydes is probably the toughest test but can't see Tom losing this one despite Dana's best efforts to punish Tom with the time of the fight , probably because of the embarrassment Tom caused him with the JJ / Stipe debacle.
TOM ASPINAL SHOULD ALREADY BE THE HEAVYWEIGHT WEIGHT CHAMP 🏆 He's had a way harder run in heavyweight than steriod cheat, gehh guy Jon Jones
Such a respectful down to earth fella Tom & he's some fighter.
Blaydes is very good but cant see him beating tom unless he chins him.
Dan Murgliatta hated Overeem for that stoppage 😅😂
Two good dudes, rooting for Thomas
Why I feel aspinal going to get knocked out
@JayDee-w3d I’m not hoping I’m just saying. I’ll put money on aspinal
I'm rooting for Curtis. Derail the hype and mix up the division again lol
If you really think Blaydes has a better chance of beating Jon Jones than Aspinall does you're smoking crack.
@@si.taze10Curtis definitely whoops jon
@si.taze10 Aspinall can’t handle Jones wrestling, Blaydes stylistically is the only one who stands a chance Jones also has no KO power so blaydes can pressure him.
@@DADRB0B55 Aspinall has good defensive wrestling to counter jon. Curtis is more of an offensive wrestler, he got taken down by jailton almeida, a much smaller man, about 8 times. Tom wouldn't get taken down by jailton more than 3 times. Tom has black belt BJJ and 20+ years of experience in BJJ training to counter Jon's wrestling.
And how'd that go Samuel? 😂 Did you cry when Tom finished Curtis within 60 seconds?
Safe to say Dana isn't going to the presser.
Come on Tommy boy bring it home mush!!! 🏴🏴💪🏼⚔️
Jones would turn that bum knee into dust with oblique kicks before Tom even touches him.
great production, videos are really well edited... I think Blades stands no chance against Aspinal.. but we will see.
Sunday can't come fast enough!
Curtis forgot what Sergei did to him.
Also calling himself the best wrestler....
Jaylton Almeida left the chat💀
Let’s go Curtis🤘🏻🤘🏻
Got to love Tom regardless of your country, only Jones fans hate him.
once Tom flatlines Blaydes, he cannot be denied any longer.
@@Sokan1993lol no 😂
@@Sokan1993Blaydes already beat him.
To be fair jones is dodging Sergei and blades as well he’s also dodging Francis ngannou
He can’t be the HW goat until he fights all these people
Goat of LHW yes HW no
Can’t cherry pick an old stipe and beat a striker with no grappling and ride off into the sun set and be the HW goat you got to do more
@@Sokan1993Jones would duck those 3 top heavyweights.
@@Sokan1993No chance
Hope Tom doesn't hurt his knees again.
Toms one of my favorite fighters but this makes me like Curtis a lot
YES BIG TOM LETS GOOOOO🐲
Such a great card.
Curtis 👏🏻
I think Felder was more upset than Tom 😂
HEAVYWEIGHTS!!!! 💪
Hoping Blaydes gets another upset W
Both good guys, rooting for Tom, should be a good un
Serious question can these guys beat Francis or that other heavyweight champion ?
Lets go ufc 304 wow
Annnnd Edward going to give the Belt to Mohammad.Maybe in the fourth round.Annd Nicely Done.
Team Aspinall here but after hearing Blaydes(sick last name bdw) side of the story, its really hard to root over him!
Aww man, why is Curtis such a likeable, down to earth guy. Being from England I obviously support Tom and want to dislike his opponents. Damn it with Curtis I cant. So Come on Tom, but whoever wins... they will be worthy winners and role models for our youngsters. Which is NOT something you can say about Jon Jones, despite his fighting prowess!
🏴🏴🏴🏴❤️
Blaydes has been knocked out cold before… I think Tom gets it done
Jones vs.aspinall🎉🎉a huge match.up!
Poor Blaydes has to debut against Francis LOL
leave it to the tom fans that bully curtis about something he got no control over, love both fighters but would love to see curtis get this
awesome match
If tom beats Curtis this weekend he’ll have fought and beaten everyone in the top 5 who’s willing to fight him. The jones fight could be on the table afterwards but I don’t think it will happen as I believe jon will take his ball and go home( the there was no competition narrative will be impossible to sell at this point but I digress). So who do you match him up with afterwards? I think Alex Pereira. He’s one or two wins away from clearing out the LHW division and if he then took 6 months to a year off to gain proper muscle for the heavyweight division he and tom could sell huge on ppv. I still don’t believe that it’s a favourable match up for Alex but he’d accept the challenge unlike some people
Can't wait to hear the Jon Jones excuses in the post press conference
anyone know the name of the song in the outro?
Curtiss is coming for Tom
u can tell hunter barely offered a pay raise
Aspinall fanboys in a firestorm when their boy loses once again 😅
their plan is to force it to the later rounds? I don't see that being a good plan lmfao. I feel like you HAVE to match the aggressiveness aspinall shoots out because otherwise you're just gonna get rolled over by the honey badger
It doesn’t matter how much Curtis train, he’s getting mauled!!
HOPE... THEY love them some hope.
Like Curtis but didn’t like the BS he said after the first 15 second fight against Aspinall , this time round it’s payback and Curtis is going to sleep
Yall really think a guy with the fight iq to throw naked leg strikes with no set up is better than jones lol.
Curt gets the W
I love how people are talking more about Jon Jones in the comments than this fight. 😂
That should tell you who people deep down especially the Jon Jones haters see as the superior fighter.
People are always threatened by greatness. It's the Mayweather effect. He beat your favorite fighter didn't he? 😂
No him fighting somome thats 41 years old is the problem
Both great guys, love for Curtis but Tom will finish him in round 3

Aspinall did not wont this fight...Curtis by 2nd round tko
I just hope Curtis doesn't fuck this up like he did with Pavlovic and focus more on his wrestling, not strike with a much more complete striker than him😅
To everyone saying Jon has no chance against tom is wild to me , you bandwagons didn't even know who tom was a couple years back. Damn New gens
Yeah, that's how rise and progression works, you idjit. Tom aspinall has fought great competition since the last couple years. Jon jones has 1 win at heavyweight, all his other accolades are pure rubbish because he's achieved nothing in the division he's in rn. He beat gane to get the title because francis left the organisation, in all actuality, francis was the real HW champ and gane was just a bum.
@MMAisTHEbestSPORT08 no he hasn't. Tom has fought nobodies. Jones beat a better fighter in Cyril Gane who was more dominant then Tom and has a longer streak. Tom is now arguably as successful as Gane or more fighting nobodies where Gane fought better competition. Jones has fought better competition hos whole career. Tom has fought no one.
@MMAisTHEbestSPORT08 Gane was not a bum. He was just not as good as Niganou. Niganou might be the most dangerous heavyweight ever. Tom didn't fight Gane , Stipe, Jones, Nigannou. Tom has fought no one
