The difference in his personality and positive aura compared to like 18months ago. Love to see it
?
@@Whatwhatinthebuttt if you watch an interview with him with Ariel 18 months ago totally different
I believe it’s because he has a fight booked for 300 .
I remember that interview like It was yesterday. I remember also being In a pretty shitty situation around that time.
Nice to see another champion want to be active and fight the best people. Hope he gets a fight he wants soon
He got his Belt 4 months ago and hasnt even announced a fight yet.
@@chiquita683they slow bro im convinced 😂😂😂
@@chiquita683 That + all HW champs since Cain are inactive by default. It is almost as if being a HW champ and activity are incompatible.
@@chiquita683on short notice with an injury that needed time to heal, he has also accepted offers to fight Stipe but he did not want it. There is also no one to fight
stipe or jones dont NEED to fight him this dude wouldnt even be champ if it wasnt for an injury he would still be two fight away from a shot. if he really wanted to fight there is gane lets see jsut how good you are can you finish him like jones cuz i think not dude is 14-3 not even unbeatable to act like jones or stipe are afraid when they have beaten everyone there the goats of there division and there old beating them proves nothing because people will make excuses oh he was 38 or 42 out of prime let them fight eachother do there legacy fight and if jones wants to he can people act like dude isnt gonna destroy tom is laughable people think there scared go fight build your own legacy stop trying to build one off them jones didnt need to beat chuck lidell or anderson silva to feel great dude is just annoying at this point @@MorgoYT
Jon Jones will retire before fighting Aspinall😅
yea hes scared
Who's Tom Ass-pinal anyway
@@JDeanMurrayThat was cheesey af.
he ducked a possible Dominick Reyes rematch, jumped up divisions and went for submission in Ciryl Gane match. He is not the same Jon Jones, and I genuinely believe the fact that Tom Aspinall will go through him and destroy his legacy. Jon Jones isn't afraid of fighting Tom Aspinall, he is afraid of losing his unbeaten & baddest man of the planet title.
@@OXY187Why would he duck Reyes? Gustafson did much more damage and he took the rematch. Aspinall is good but we've never seen a good wrestler put him on his back. Since Aspinall has never been in deep waters, I'm not totally sure he survives if Jon takes him down
Toms a cool dude
Tom's king analogy is spot on!
This is a throne no one dares to challenge
Heavyweight champion of the world! You are the king.
Right , the only thing is that he's not the Undisputed Heavyweight Champion yet.
@@21sexy2010exactly😂
@@21sexy2010 He may aswell be, the undisputed champ wants to fight an old stipe and retire into the sunset
Its the new era of the HW division Tom aspinall himself
Yeah, the guy that falls down because his knee gave out without anyone touching him lol yeah, he's a real winner
@@PurplecripYou mean the dude that flatlined probably the most dangerous active heavyweight? WHILE ON SHORT NOTICE?
sit.
edit that comment a few more times why don't you, it will still be a silly one@@steezyybrah9745
Unfortunately @ HW…that’s pretty much it 😢
TOM IS THE REAL CHAMP
😂
It’s crazy how blindly people will jump on a bandwagon the second someone does something even just semi impressive, yet blind to the fact Jon finished the #1 contender in less than a full round on his first attempt in the heaviest weight class. Who had Sergei beat ??? Tai ??? Curtis Blades??? Dude get real.
Why is Jon too scared to fight Aspinall. Jon Jones ain't the goat 😂😂😂
@@philmclean9470 you are ASSUMING another man’s emotions. Jon jones has been setup to fight Stipe for Months even before the sergei fight! Nothing new !! People like you seem to love hopping on whatever’s trending and act like it’s some grand new thing. And who tf is Marcin Tybura ???? Yet another hype wagon that got exposed. I’m not saying Tom doesn’t deserve to be where he is or his belt even as Jon said … but is Tom champion? No. Will he? Idk. Is he right now or does he deserve to be? No. So quit acting like it and wait for the truth to be revealed. Jon Jones has proven it for DECADES.
It's a good assumption that he is the real champ and I think he may even defend it a few times but all this is to be seen. So let's wait and watch. Also before commenting I went to see the heavyweight division and he can say he wants to be active but there are like 2/3 guys to fight rest are not even contender level.
Tom can talk about his ego, defending thrones, fighting anyone AND be one of the most realistic and humble fighters in the UFC. that’s how it should be done.
Tom is pride of Poland also.👊💪
7:31 THE KING HOLDS HIS FARTS FOR NOBODY
i heard that too
that is a robot fart
@@Suburbannite
9:47 he drops another 🤣
one about 2 minutes in i think
😆😆🤣🤣
Jones is running from this Englishman 🏴 he knows what’s coming that’s why
jones ducking tom so blatantly its crazy
Jon Jones is too scared to fight Tom Aspinall
Lmao 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Tom would beat Stipe and Jon same night one after another in any order.
How can u not love this guy? How is he not being pushed to be the face of UFC?! A true gentleman and a real warrior not a friggin poser for money and ego!! all the jon jones, the conors etc.. u are fighters!! FIGHT!
As soon as JJ and Stipe retire they will. The UFC wants the money from their fight but Tom will be pushed to the moon when they're gone.
Right you can't push him too much or everyone will overlook Jon. They put him on the backburner after using em to fill a spot on the card
Nice guy but I don't trust him. So far, he refuses a fight with Cyril Gane...
@@charlestetard3268 Gane ducked him when Tom called him out to fight in Paris after his win before sergei.
True @@donutman1101 . But because, as Tom now wants, Gane wanted a titleshot after his victory. With Stipe and Jones blocking the category, there's only one real heavy weight fight to be made : Aspinall - Gane.
Aspinall and Leon are proper. They never turn fights down.
he's a big fish in a big empty pond. they need to stack that heavyweight division back up
He hasnt fought anyone at heavyweight, he needs to defend his belt
@@chiquita683 well someone needs to hop in there and fight him then. Nobody wants to lol
@@chiquita683 He fought Pavlovich wtf??
@@MrDddrrrgggright everyone else is scared of that dude an Tom took one of his punches and ate it like ice cream
Ngannou is sum loss to the division. Imagine Tom and Francis. I’d be worried for Francis on ground
I need whatever you’re on lol, Tom was destroyed by Curtis blaze, y’all acting like Tom is on Francis level
@@GeorgeOleary1410Tom got injured through nothing Curtis did. Jon Jones simp are you?
@@Theganjaman88but he was getting pieced up by Curtis I can’t lie.
Must be good stuff you are on! Ngannou would smash the whole division the guy is a beast
@@dsmentalmedicine3232did you actually watch the fight? Cause I did and the entirety of the fight lasted 13 seconds with only 2 exchanges where Curtis got one clean strike which didn’t appear to affect Tom in any way. I wouldn’t call that piecing up in any way this false narrative Tom was getting beaten by Curtis is bollocks, don’t believe me you can watch the fight on CZcams TNT sports the entirety of the 13 second fight is there to watch.
Tom is a legend, keen to see more kos! 🎉
Jones is afraid he’ll lose, I can see that personally, he’s going around saying Aspinall isn’t important enough to determine his agenda, like the narcissist he is, it’s the same as saying I’m ducking the risky fight. All about ego, the fear of bruised ego and public embarrassment.
Actually I think there would be more honor to gain for Jones should he beat Aspinall instead of Stipe who’s years past his prime. But his ego could not take the L. But for Stipe I think it’s more fear of losing that one last opportunity to fight Jones, to be considered the true GOAT himself, AND make a big pay-day before retirement, than it is what people think of him or the fear of embarrassment.
If Stipe loses to Aspinall, all chances of fighting Jones are gone forever. But Stipe should know better and fight Aspinall asap nevertheless, because I don’t think Jones will be back, and winning against all odds would benefit his status more. And if he loses to Aspinall, people will be kinder, “he was too old anyway”.
Tommy should fight GANE, if Jones and Stipe won’t play. Gane is still a handful, a tremendous stand-up fighter with great movement, if he has gathered himself mentally from his losses.
To be honest both sides do have an argument. Prior to the pav fight there was 0 argument or even talks for tom to fight jones and that fight only happened just because jon got injured. He has wanted stipe for a year now, jon obviously views stipe as better on his resume bc stipe is considered a goat, even if it’s past his prime. Tom could go on to suffer 10Kos, imagine if jon beats tom and that happens, it was basically a waste and at his age, all that activity will be more wearing. Stipe rn is the safer bet ALTHOUGH it’s likely tom will go on to have a good career and be the better name ti have on his resume, i just think jon is reluctant to take the risk. On the other hand, i get toms side because he has done all he can to get this shot and is interim champ so should be fighting for undisputed regardless of bouts booked beforehand. Oliveria v islam never got rebooked and charles now has to beat the other title contender BUT maybe bc jon and stipe are goats, they have some leeway allowed to not do this? Especially when interim belts have been defended in the past. There is a chance the fight happens but defo not till 2025. One thing is for certain jon v tom is the most interesting fight
@@TysonO-jp7rb good points !
Considering it'd be Jon off of injury things might be a lil easier for me
Fans need to give DC more credit
DC risked his fight vs lesner and fought Lewis on short notice. stipe is afraid of the risk of fighting Aspinall on losing his fight with Jones
Lol that's funny your buddy Aspiclown already lost three fights John has not lost in over 10 years lol it'll be your little secret😂😂
When I look at Tom’s face all I see is the anonymous mask 😂😂😂
Get that belt brother. You deserve it! Get what’s yours
Just fight WILLING opponents, don't waste years chasing people like Chandler is with Connor....worry about your career not theirs 💯
He has the Belt.... stipe and jon are both retiring after they fight each other..... Tom mind as well be Champ .
I respect Tom for trying everything into baiting Jones into a fight. I'm not saying he'll beat Jones but you have to respect him wanting to fight the best.
He'd finish Jones within 2 rounds.
People have been “the next guy” to beat jones since 2010 brother…..
@@leandersantos2477 Jones is old and slow now. He ain't beating the speed and power of a true 265'er over whom he has no size advantage unlike those smaller 205'ers in the past.
From what I saw in the Reyes fight and considering Tom's perfect boxing and power,he 100% beat the Jones of today.Keep in mind Jones got his head boxed around by Reyes for 3 rounds and 100% got gifted the win.He had an easy tune up fight against a very limited striker in Gane but nothing to worry for Tom.There is a reason why Jones is avoiding this fight and he never avoided a single in his career except maybe when he waited until Ngannou retired to comeback but thats just speculation.He knows Tom is a problem for him...he knows.
Absolutely,keep in mind he looked slow against Reyes and it was 4 years ago..@@pflges1117
Wow, the UK has some of the classiest and best representatives of MMA right now. Almost everyone ranked is so real and brilliant: Aspinall, Edwards, Arnold, Mokaev, Dixon, Murphy. Just wow.
King Tom repping the UK we all love you man, giving anyone problems at heavyweight, everyone scared to fight him, who ever fights him next is lights out for sure!
This is the best bromance in MMA media
Lookin like Patrick when SpongeBob called him “pinhead.”
😂😂😂
I mmmmm dead I kinda see it
Looks like Leatherface (2003) when he puts on the face of his first victim Kemper
Such a level head on him, seams very self aware.
Happy to hold his hands up when he knows he said something dumb.
He is gonna go far.
Tom's right, Jones shouldn't be able to hold up the division. Especially when you consider that Jones didn't even compete as a heavy weight during his career, and essentially manufactured a legacy fight that gave him an undeserved title.
I, like many others, consider Jones the greatest fighter of all time. Unfortunately, he's using this as leverage to demand a fight that no one wants to see, and at the expense of every other contender in the division. If Jones doesn't want to fight Aspinall, he should be stripped. If Jon wanted to be held in such high regards, he should have considered laying off the white girl and avoided sandblasting prostitutes.
How can you not love Tom Aspinall!
Tom is the man . Him vs gane should main event ufc 300 UFC there is no other title fight set
Is right Tom . Good luck take whats yours you have earned it
wow great interview, honest, to the point. presents the truth in a way that is respectful. UFC should do a tom aspinall / leon card.
Tom is the future! Protect this man at all cost 😂 such great energy, he’s living proof of preparation brings confidence! Great interview
I am French but I like Tom, it's a good guy and amazing fighter.
I really want to see him fight as soon as possible.
But of course if one day he fights Cyril, I will have to be behind my French guy.
Cyril is good but Tom finishes him.
@@NR-eh7ny Nobody know.
Gane knows. That's why he ducked him@@williamyamm8803
It will be great fight until Tom takes it to the ground I think.
But maybe Gane has improved his ground game
John Jones is the Goat a total legend and one of my favourite fighters, but Tommy will beat him
never
Bros goated already
For beating pavlovich, that’s crazy.
Aspinall is a cool dude and hopefully he gets what he deserves soon enough,respect from australia lad 🇦🇺 🪃
If Stipe is healthy he should take the battle with Tom! And who ever wins should get Jones once he's healed up!
he wont take the risk. dc took the risk of fighting derrick lewis even if he lost, he would have lost the belt and the lesner fight. stipe is scared of that risk
Tom's not wrong. Stipe at this point isn't even a fair fight. Tom would obliterate Stipe but that would prove nothing. Jones wants one more easy money grab with the shell of Stipe and then out. Can't blame him. Jones doesn't have to prove anything to anyone and it's all about business it's nothing personal.
It stalls the division and makes Jones look like he's ducking, what he did in the past is irrelevant. Jones should be forced to either defend against Aspinall or vacate
Great interview. What a stand up guy aspinal is
It's such a big shame that Gane got to fight both Francis and Jon instead of Aspinall who isn't scared to death like Gane and always tries to win either by a ko or a submission win. Anyway, unless he tries to attack Jon at a strip club or something just to get the fight against him, he should just start cleaning out the division...
Scared?? 😂 He literally just destroyed the scariest guy in the division 😂 Gane pretended Tom didn't exist when he called him out and now he is getting a taste of his own medicine. Gane who only wants title fights 😂 Honestly, do you really think he is scared of anyone? 😂 I think he beats Gane pretty handedly and other guys too.
@@jasonborotra4208 That's what I'm saying. I said Gane is the scared one, which he showed against Jon and Francis before declining to fight Aspinall.
That’s because back then Gane was what Tom Aspinal is right now! A lot of “hype” Jon throughout his career has seen/heard and fought them all and eventually derailed all the hype-trains that came throughout Jon’s career. Jon v’s Stipe’s fight was booked way before Tom became interim hw champ. Their’s a reason for that fight for Jon & Stipe(“legacy fight” which they both respectfully earned) I’m a Tom Aspinal fan I think he’s the next big thing, but come on bro!
First it was Gane now it’s Aspinall. Admit you just want Jon to lose. It’ll never be good enough.
@@Wuzzam812 apparently from what I’m hearing is that Jon Jones is scared of Tom Aspinal🙄
Aries has NEVER acted like any previous interim champion was a true champion. He's always talked about it exactly the way you should. Like it's a place holder belt. Just a piece of it. He's even said he doesn't like interim belts on multiple occasions. Now Aspinal has the interim belt and since he won, Ariel hasn't shut up about it and acting like Tom is undisputed champ. Its because Ariel has been blowing Tom's horn for months before tge interim belt and Ariel absolutely LOVES to be the "I told you so" guy. So he's being dramatic to stroke his own ego. Ariel has grown to be such a slimy dude and become so unlikable over the past year or two. I used to really enjoy his full shows. Now I trudge through only guest interviews just to hear from the fighters, and it's still tough.
I mean we like to say the same about the #1 contender let alone the interim champ. I say if you're champ and there's an interim champ you MUST defend against the interim champ first and foremost no excuses. Otherwise what's the difference between interim champ and #1 contender I don't see a difference at that point
No its because Tom is the only interim Champion who is more established than the Champion and has a more claim to it than Jones
@@standardFifa How ? Both beat the number one contenders.
@@dazitmane8905Gane should have never been a n1 contender
I came to say exactly what @standardfifa said. It’s literally because Tom is better in that weight class. You don’t see that with any other interim belts…
I honestly don't even count Jones or Miocic as being active UFC fighters anymore tbh.
Love Tom being the champ! 🏆
Aspinall is the man
I have been a fan when I saw his first fight speed,strength, grappling....first his personality A-1 family man and is humble but now confidence!! Go Tom blessings to you and your family!! Great interview Ariel !!
Wish him the best!
He's so refreshing Big Tom, genuinely, THE baddest man on the planet. Always, the best of luck big fella.
Tom spitting hard truths. fair play tom. watch out heavyweight pretenders, the king is here.
Tom Aspinalll what a guy!🐲
Ariel trying his hardest to get Tom fired up about Jones but Tom just respectfully shrugged it off. Ariel said at the top of the show he wants Tom to get mad about the situation but Tom knows better
Toms literally scared of No man
Top bloke, great attitude, king 🤴 💪
Model professional and model athlete. Tom represents the very best of UK MMA 🇬🇧
Tom Aspinall vs Ciryl Gane
The real UFC HW champ Tom Aspinall 🔥
The way he dealt with Sergei P with an injury is scary.
I sadly dont think JJ will ever fight him.
He is getting ready 💉 💉 💉
BEST TOM ASPINALL INTERVIEW EVER
3:00 Stay Energized Lads!
I want to see Tom vs Alex Periera for the HW TITLE!
He's right mismatches shouldn't be allowed
I wish they would’ve elaborated further on whatever Tom said about boxing, because Ariel opens with, “you said boxing cards aren’t as entertaining as MMA cards,” and that is spot on, so I’m not even sure where Tom was wrong in that or what Ariel’s disagreeing with.
Huge respect from TX,
Honestly, I thought Sergei was going to sleep you, but you slept him. ☠️
Im behind you now, KOd the doubt right out of me 😂
Great guy, Tom Aspinall
The sad reality is know one thinks they can beat tom or they would fight him the question is who will fight Tom nxt Cyril,he never gave Tom the chance so he's quite right on not giving him it
Solid interview, love Tom Aspinall’s chill vibe, real likable guy. Really hope he gets the Jon Jones fight in 2024
Love this guy
Love to hear Tom talk like this.
In the end Bones wants two things to fight Tom, he wants it to be a big fight with lots of hype and financial gain, he also wants Tom to make him hungry for the fight.
Jones has been in this game fighting for so long, each guy was a murderer, so Jon is probs desensitised to it regardless of the danger. He wants Tom to give him the hunger to want to get up and train and go through another camp.
Jon has hinted at this, and Tom is doing the right thing. Jon can't call himself the Heavyweight King without beating a dominant interim in Tom.
I would of absolutely loved to see Tom vs Ngannou
Tom is like the wonderboy but in the heavyweight division bro is too nice
Yea Wonderboy never was champ either
@@chiquita683 Aspinall walks through literally the entire division besides maybe Jones and Gane
@@chiquita683 The real champ seems hellbent on running, fighting retired old men, retiring himself and heckling random comedians
Tommy Boy is the man. Fan since jump. Lets goo Mr. Aspinall😮
Like the great lil wayne once said “i aint never ran from a ni&@a and i aint about to pick the day to start running”. Much respect, lets run it with all comers
Nothing great about Wayne
Ran from? wtf is going on 😂😂😂 Jon got injured training for a fight already booked when Tom caught his hype
Today*
If only Tom woulda said that how great would that be 😂😂😂
@@bizzyboomin9277 the fight got canceled dumdum. Now its time for Jon to face the interim
Aint nobody got time to wait for "whenever so and so is ready.
Move the division along
Last time people waited on Jones it took how long???
I like Tom now. Respect.
Jones is a runner. He's a track star!! 👣
4:06 "I was a little bit of a Karen as we say here in the UK" 😂 Buddy thinks that's a UK thing. Not only is it used all around the world. I'm pretty sure that term was born and popularized in the US and just spread around the world online. The same as Chad.
Chad isn’t a known term outside the internet. Also highly doubt these terms are used around the world. They aren’t using the term Karen in China or Russia.
Probably an American thing that worked it’s way over to England and maybe Australia and Canada.
@@Gayleem Yes, Chad is definitely used outside of the internet. Haha. I've heard it countless times. Also, saying "around the world" doesn't mean every country in the world. Haha. Of course not every country uses it, but multiple countries around do, hence "around the world".
Maybe it was I mean you have more Karen’s in the US than any nation on the planet. This isn’t a good thing mate 😂
Ariel really felt connected when you said you took a cry
Tom - ALL IN - Aspinall
Tom is so spot on with boxing
That Throne analogy was absolutely bang on from Tom! People can say whatever they want, Jones and Stipe DO NOT WANT to fight time, he’s far too fast and dangerous they know the risks he poses
Aspinal needs to get iver it. These 2 guys ALTEADY had this fight scheduled and both pretty much said they were going to retire either way afterwards this is a big time Legacy fight the best of all time against the best heavyweight of all time it's not their fault that Dana White made Tom's last fight for an interim belt when he knew damn well that the Jones fight was just being rescheduled and they weren't going to be fighting each other before Stipe. This is on Dana White not Jon Jones or stipe
The real champ
I really love seeing how much Tom loves this game.
The real deal 💯🔥
Fair play for admitting he was having a moan, seems to be really self aware.
hes being overly humble
Moves so well for his size and weight...head screwed on right...come on tom! Bring it back to the uk!!! Hope all goes well!
Aspinal versus Francis or even Bader would be siiiiiick
Ariel was about to say interim champ but quickly realized that telling fighters what they want to hear guarantees future interviews😃
Tom is the man, proper champion
Go on king, Toms got an ego but is still humble to admit it😊
The interim champ is Job Jones not Tom .
Is it me or does someone keep ripping out farts throughout the interview😅😅 Judging from the cuts I'd say it's Ariel, would explain why his voice sounds like that 🤣🤣
Dammmm … that big fart at timestamp 9:45 lolololol
2.38
Also at 2:38
The definition of a topman
Tom has been raised well
different class of fighter and a real person nothing fake about him
a gentle giant with some killer skills that are a problem for any one when its time its time to find out
jones last fight he looked bad standing up he just looked slow and off tempo ring rust maybe but i think jones knows he would get beat badly and fears it new gen of fighters come in and take aver and its that time again
Tom is another that has Champ spirit and attitude. Wishing the best for him and his career. Hopefully he starts to get the matches he wants soon!
King Tom…He is a BIG problem..Mate..🏴🏴👊🏼👊🏼
Ultimate fighting chad
Aspinall is a G
I’ve stood next to him. He is an absolute colossal human and is actually scary. He’s so nice however his pure size shocks you in person
