First time seeing Akinfenwa and he's got a great personality. I love this dude lol. Also, I think we all have to come to terms with the fact that this is a double retirement fight. Tom will just get promoted to Undisputed.
When the returning champ comes back to fight, by the rules, the interim is stripped if the interim holder does not return to fight the champ. Not by toms fault but he might get stripped and fight for vacant.
@@threecubed3 no chance. If Jon wants to continue to call himself the heavyweight champion of the world after the Stipe fight he has to face Tom or HE should be stripped of the title. In any other organization it would've already happened given Jones hasn't fought since he won the title 3-4 years ago.
And the good news is he’s still learning, I respect him even more when he said he is motivated to learn more after watching Khamzat’s fight against Rob, this man could become the greatest HW in a year or two.
I like Tom good fighter realy nice guy but take each step at a time your time and opportunity will come but try and forget about bones jones there's a few killers in the background working there way up through ranks the future generation 😮
@@xavierb9061😂 no he didn’t don’t be ridiculous. He looked like the toughest heavyweight at the time, he didn’t look like a whole new evolution of heavyweight
Algorithm comment so more folks see Aspinall. He's a champion in and out of the ring. Ridiculously quick and powerful, and a top-tier likeable human being. The way he puts aside his "sour grapes" to honestly appraise the fight without vitriol is admirable. I'm not a football man, but Akinfenwa was great fun too.
The only thing stopping Tom from being the best heavyweight we've ever seen is that the other 'best heavyweights' won't fight him. Ngannou wouldn't have ducked him, that would've been a true fight for HW all time greatness.
@@Kal-e3t Stipe is done man he's been done for half a decade. Jon is on his last legs none of these fighters give Tom the title of all time greatness. If he fought both in their prime and Francis then sure. Unfortunately for Tom's legacy he has no one like them in the wings. He's had ZERO challenge he's really good but not that good its a reflection of his average competition. Just think of the athletic HW freaks in boxing in the 90's not these slow uncoordinated elephants swinging for the fences.
Stipe Miocic in his prime beats Aspinall 9 times out of 10. Jones beats Aspinall 7 days a week and twice on a Sunday as Tom's clown of a friend Fury likes to say😃
It’s crazy how knowledgable Tom is, seems like he knows everything mma and is really good at explaining it - which is particularly noticeable when he has non mma guests on.
Glad toms getting more media attention and public views. He’s a really intelligent analyst as well, look forward to one day seeing him in the commenter team after he’s finished his title reign
I hope Tom does get a match with Jon, but true MMA fans know neither of these guys is afraid to face each other. They’re just at different stages in their careers. Jon is focused on solidifying his legacy in MMA history. As for Tom, I’m paraphrasing here, but he’s said he’s in this for a short run-to make as much money as possible and move on quickly. That’s a smart strategy if he wants to avoid the long-term wear and tear that can come with a lengthy fight career.
That's the next evolution of the sport: Pure athletes starting MMA. Akinfenwa has the speed and power to be really good at the sport with the proper training, but he's clearly not a fighter at heart.
We need more "Fun" footage from Aspinall on the streets, talking to people. I know it's called "The Fight Lab" but it should be more like Dana White's show, "Lookin' For a Fight" which is hilarious. Aspinall's interaction with people is good content, and we need to see him doing more bizarre things, like hanging out with Magnus the RUclips rock climber.
Big thanks to Adebayo Akinfenwa and of course Mr Catterall! 🤛
Love the the energy from him.

@NickySpades lol thanx for laugh
This is a one of a kind show. Full entertainment value + knowledge
This my first time seeing and I was thinking something similar. I’m a fan and, will be watching again!

Tom is already the best analyst in the business, it’s actually mad! 👏 He’s always gentleman and a proper class act as well 🏴
And the good news is he’s still learning, I respect him even more when he said he is motivated to learn more after watching Khamzat’s fight against Rob, this man could become the greatest HW in a year or two.
He is brilliant but dan hardy takes that crown. The detail in his breakdowns are top tier.
Aspinall wirh the knowledge. Akinfenwa with the brilliant questions. Could happily watch a whole series of these two. Brilliant stuff!
Best celeb guest so far
WHO
If Tom can stay healthy he'll probably go on to be one of the greatest UFC heavyweights ever
The greatest
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
He’s not even had over 100 fights like Jon bonez jones
@@SawdustSkull highly doubtful anybody will have the success that Jon has had, dude is one in a billion but I think Tom can do pretty great things

I think this Akinfenwa guy would be decent in mma if he trained he’s got the build for heavyweight
That’s an athlete for sure. The power in both his hands is scary too
Tom’s knowledge of MMA is huge.

This guy is hilarious and hella respectful to toms ability
Straight from Nigeria 😂
Blood fire had me rolling 😂😂😂

What does it mean?
@ it’s just a general exclamation like ‘bloody hell’ or ‘holy cow’.
Tom for a heavyweight champ is the definition of humble-such a paradox-love this guy !!

What other heavyweights? The HW division in combat sports has sucked for over two decades. Tom has no legit competition.
@zartic4life and I was referring to Jon and Stipe and referencing their refusal to fight him.

Absolute legend. Akinfenwa made that easier for Aspinall to teach! What a guy

Absolutely agree, he’s a natural
Seriously love these segments/vids
Keep em up please 👏 👌

Tom is an amazing all round guy, both in fighting and personality. Fair, respectful, honest, and no ego. Already transcending the sport.
akinfenwa is always good vibes man.

No surprise he is a champ (interim) and soon to be undisputed.
Great watch! Loved the genuine respect and passion for a different craft 🔥
akinfenwa was a class act here proper guy
inform akinfenwa is TOO GOOD

Normally hate instructional videos.
Well done. Tom really is great at this.

Looking like a National Geographic documentary the way it studies the ways and habits of the duck ❤

Great episode once again guys👍
This is top quality content 👌
This was a great episode.
Excellent breakdown !
Few better ambassadors for any sport than Tom Aspinall - the uncrowned pride of Britain !
Stipe will starch Jon
It’s possible not probable
Lovely vid, thanks Big men
Tom's actually so good on this!
Love this ! 😂🙌 Please keep it coming champ!
Tom defo the episode with most exchange of hugs with a premiership footballer
Great show boys!
i haven't seen an mma video as good as this in a long time.
Accepting a fight with Tom is bigger for Jon's legacy than all his wins
This is great but Tom should avoid highlighting his fought IQ as to not put MORE fear into Jon Bones Jones...
Won the title on remembrance day 2023 what a memory to have Tom ❤
A lifting comp between these two needs to happen
Thanks Lad's, respect.Big Tom army.
Thanks boys, enjoyed that! ❤

I grappled with Tom years ago, wish I could remember it better
At this stage, should Francis change his name to Voldemort?
He who must not be named 😂
Aspinall is going to be a great coach after he's done fighting, the man is a natural teacher.
Lets all pray that Stipe pulls out and Jones has to fight Aspinall, its the fight we all want to see 😄
Quality content
Stipe wins shocks everyone then stays in doesn't retire and fights Tom.
I love watching these aspinall is a great coach I’m learning a lot from him. Love aspinall in a big fan of his
Having played football for 25 years and doing catch wrestling for 3 years I think there are definitely transferrable skills for takedowns
Loved it 👊
That's the next evolution of the sport: Pure athletes starting MMA. Akinfenwa has the speed and power to be really good at the sport with the proper training, but he's clearly not a fighter at heart.
Tom is actually a great teacher 🤔
Aspinall needs to continue doing this. Gotta blame Dana for allowing this fight to happen and not Jon or Stipe.
I would love it if Iron Mike sparked snakey Jakey pauline and it would polish off the weekend just nicely if stipe sparked him too..
TNT doing more for the UFC then their own marketing department.
Good stuff
