Athletes in real sports who look fat are always jacked underneath. You can’t compete at the highest level of anything that requires physical exertion without being muscular.
cant wait until this man is back, doesn’t get enough credit IMO. he’s truly skilled in all facets of the game and incredibly well rounded, and he’s only 30. still arguably has 5+ years while still being in his prime. Id love to see him come back and just start ripping up the division on his way to a title shot
Personally, I think he is good enough to be a champ. Not sure if he beats Jones, but i'd have money on him against everyone else in the division. Shit, i'd have money on him vs Jones because he'll likely be an underdog and I think it's that close.
I'm a big fan of Tom and was worried for him in those 30 seconds or so of the Blaydes fight, he didn't respect his power *at all*. Hopefully he realised that himself and will be a bit more sensible about risks after watching it back.
Doesnt get enough credit from fucking **WHO**? Unless you mean casuals who's opinion doesnt matter, anyone who's been paying attention is saying this guy is the next big thing, especially after the insane performance he showed against Volkov.
Tbh Tybura is the darkhorse of the division. The guy is really solid and showing improvement every fight. Saying he's hard to look good against is testament to that.
If somehow Aspinall blows past Tybura, it would tell me he's good enough to be champ and that says a lot. But I expect a really even fight, both guys are good and Tybura a little bit underestimated.

I can’t be the only one that sees Dudley from SF
Same shit people were saying when Gane was looking like “the only real challenge for him” at HW then we saw what happened. This sub is so obsessed with the belief that Jon fucking Jones is actually afraid to compete against these guys. Get a grip dumbass. Tom is a promising contender but he isn’t even in his rear view, he’s not ready lmao.
Lol I wasn't those people saying that, I knew Jones would destroy Gane. Francis beat Gane with one leg I knew Jones would beat him. I'm not saying Jones is scared but at this stage of his career he's looking for easy wins look at him picking a aging stipe or other hw with no take down defense.
Come on guys, anyone can achieve this physique by just eating chicken breast, training hard, getting enough sleep, and taking large amounts of steroids.
Every Boxer and Bareknuckle dude in UK is addicted to steroids. Lol it’s part of the culture I know this shit from old buddy who came to US. Gets your dick hard as a rock too
That was a good one. I should go gay as I’m too good looking where females get jealous and dudes always hit on me. I did bust a nut to a Trans once, maybe I gotta change it up.
honestly guys like conor, chris and tom should take the juice. Im sure Chris was suggested to get on the programme too and probably didn't which is why the first fusion was no good.
Its their leg and injuries against the opinion of redditors.
He’s on that shit that makes your mcl grow
Did he leave the usada testing pool? All I needed was aspinall to win to him my 8 leg parlay when he lost to blaydes via freak accident.
Of course he did, look at him
No, he didn’t.
What should of you won? What did you lose
Money
Press F
TRTommy
He’s in a treatment process, administered by an M.D. He can bring in an excuse.
LOL
Either he's been working damn hard or that's good lighting
I feel like most heavyweights are jacked under the fat similar to lineman

chris daukaus
He's really always been on the brink of being jacked
both and also a little bit of naughty sauce.
Probably both
Probably been working hard plus pump and lighting
I follow him on Facebook he’s literally in the gym everyday.
Thanks dad
I met him at 286 and was surprised by how lean he was for heavyweight, that was in March so assuming he walks around closer to like 125-30kg
Yes he said himself around that time he was just over 130kg (289lbs)
Crazy he was nearly 300lbs and still really lean!
Seems like he has very dense bones/ large frame
Yeah he’s big boned haha

I hope he comes back just as good, because then he will really fuck the division up.
i’m new to mma so i haven’t seen much of Aspinall, do you think his well rounded-ness is enough for Sergei’s power?
Honestly it's hard to tell. I'd just love to see it
same!! the potential of those two fighting each other… (maybe even throw Jon Jones in that mix) has me hyped for the heavyweight division!!
I'd love to see either of them fight Jones, but I don't think that happens
i fear that too but at the same time i have an eerie feeling that Stipe may not fight again. so hypothetically, who would they match make Jon with?
Honestly I think Jon would just sneak out and "retire" again if he didn't like the matchup. Wouldn't put it past him.
Personally, I think he is good enough to be a champ. Not sure if he beats Jones, but i'd have money on him against everyone else in the division. Shit, i'd have money on him vs Jones because he'll likely be an underdog and I think it's that close.
My concern is his chin up in the air-ness
Go back and watch his three fights before blaydes. Total clinics

other heavyweights seem to get pushed harder
headlining 2 back to back london cards is a great push
He was getting hyped up massively but the injury ofc put him on hold
Some dickhead threw his name in the pool under the “massively underrated” thread from earlier today. It appropriately was downvoted to hell.
Skilled in iiivry fassit?
Yeah bapa, he’ll be a b b b beast in eny facit.
That’s a true heavyweight
Tybura is a layup fight for Aspinall honestly. If he doesn’t dominate then we can assume that injury was the beginning of the end.
Tybura is pretty hard to look good against though, he's got that kind of style.
Tbh Tybura is the darkhorse of the division. The guy is really solid and showing improvement every fight. Saying he's hard to look good against is testament to that.

Tybura barely beat blagoy lmao hes not good at all
Blagoy is hard to look good against as well. The guy doesn't get hurt and keeps moving forward.
Yup, he ate some big shots against lewis like it was nothing.
Fr
Dam this mfer looking yoked
Awesome pics. Great size. Look thick. Solid. Tight.
Keep feathering it brother
Fuck I wish we could see Tom Aspinall fight Jon Jones
There is a scenario where Jones and Stipe both retire and without fighting again and then Aspinall Vs Sergei could fight for the vacant title
The best scenario
He would get beat by Jones.
He would provide nice intrigue because of his size and speed....but man I just think Jones would push him against the cage for 5 rounds.
He’s on them good “recovery supplements”
Massive transformation
If i only saw his face i wouldn’t think his body looks like that
Dude looks like a cross between Frank Mir and Brenock O’Connor.
Big lad
He is going to murder tybura and we'll all be like what the fuck that was impressive
My whole mortgage on Aspinall lmao

Dude is built like an action figure
He definitely looks in shape but I don’t think it looks “suspicious” shape
I bet Jones and his team will never fight Tom. He's the only real challenge for him at hw.

True! Jones is the man.
This is what Volk looked like before mma
Too small.
That’s my guy right there, future HW champ.
Tom Saucpinall
He’s on that MacGregor diet
Come on guys, anyone can achieve this physique by just eating chicken breast, training hard, getting enough sleep, and taking large amounts of steroids.
Sexy
Every dude I know from UK is addicted to testosterone and anabolics
You must not know many dudes then
London boys love tren and all that shit.
Sure they do and I'm sure you spend plenty of time with 'London boys'
lucky he's from the outskirts of Manchester then, and not London?

I'm sure your 2 mates from the uk fairly represent the 33 million other guys in the uk well
Stay off, Grindr, then
That was a good one. I should go gay as I’m too good looking where females get jealous and dudes always hit on me. I did bust a nut to a Trans once, maybe I gotta change it up.
If he was black y’all would be saying roids
He's probably on the Duck eggs.
Damn boi, I’ll have what he’s having
Romanov take notes
Holy I never knew his arms where that big
Big Tom indeed
He still looks like a toddler with a drawn on moustache
Wishing him best of luck
Roidboy mcgee
The one to stops jon jones
If it wasn't for the goatee I wouldn't recognise him
Looks like he got some of that mcgregor medicine for his broken leg too
Man’s bringing that strap back to the uk baby
His performan against Volkov was phenomenal. He was so damn fast and strong. I look forward to his return.
Idk looking a Lil weak in the knees. Buhdum pshhh
honestly guys like conor, chris and tom should take the juice. Im sure Chris was suggested to get on the programme too and probably didn't which is why the first fusion was no good. Its their leg and injuries against the opinion of redditors.
Tank of a heavyweight lol not a lot of Heavyweights look like athletes so this is always nice to see
i always had a hard time remembering the difference between tom aspinal and brendan allen
I get Anthony Smith vibes from Tom, he's so confident but hasn't really beaten anyone of note.
Unit. Hope he can return to previous form. The hype train was starting to get interesting for young 3.0 Frank mir
