I felt so happy for Tom during this interview because I knew Volks is his favorite fighter and he just got to talking with him across the world so sick! 🔮

Two freaking role models to look up to. Bloody top fighters as well.

If you seek cage fighters as role models there's something already wrong with you.

[@CONCERNEDcitizenforever]

Two blokes for sure!!

[@jacobeberhardt1649]

Absolute studs, their countries should be proud.

[@ayfficiall]

Aspinall would be a great champion, never ducks a fight and is humble. Hope he wins on Saturday

[@Shano_7]

I’m literally in the same boat as Alex. I think Tom wins but you can never underestimate the power of Sergei

[@theoutlaw486]

Tom is definitely one of my favourite fighters in any combat sport, hope he gets it done this weekend! Goodluck from New Zealand

[@anasshahid224]

Great interview with Tom Aspinall! Love Dan Hooker and Volk’s fight analysis. Tom is such a humble classy guy, hope he wins the belt Saturday night.

[@JBLancs]

How can you not like Aspinall hes class. And a superb fighter. Go on Tom do lancashire proud 🙏

[@corbuzchristi365]

Not only a fan favourite but a fighter favourite, that's not always commonplace.

Love both these guys, Tom and Volk are two humble badasses!

[@joeldoherty2166]

Big Tom, volk and Dan are all fucking legends. Feel incredibly lucky to have seen all fight in person ❤️❤️❤️

[@InterYamah]

This isn't the same situation in regards to short notice at all, pav has been in camp to be the replacement for jones n stipe, its tom who is actually short notice

[@micahbodha6129]

Exactly! No one seems to be picking up on this.

[@nut-xn5ol]

That's what they were saying? That's why Volk was giving Aspinall props, for taking this on short notice. I thought that was pretty clear?

[@InterYamah]

​@@nut-xn5olwatch from roughly 17 seconds to 30 seconds, and then you will see what he said, as you said it should be pretty clear.......

Sergei has had a full camp lmao he was the back up fighter for jones stipe

[@bobby6204]

Love all 3 these fighters, Tom has a bright future in the ufc and in the mma world. I hope its gets it done Saturday

Tom will become the best heavyweight of all time with out a doubt and this ain’t bias I’m 🇦🇺

Literally my top 3 favourite fighters here!!! Volk Dan Tom all were missing is Leon and I’m in my element all kind soulful men with a mean punch excellent work guys ❤️😊

[@travisthompson5122]

I think he has a very good chance at beating Jones. I'm very impressed with Tom. Dude is quick.

I like how you can see police lights flashing in thr window behind Aspinall. Good Ol' New York City.

And again... and again... and again haha love Volk

[@floodwaters8887]

Short notice stuff doesn't happen in boxing because theres 10s of millions involved, a good pay day in the UFC is lucky to be a million, they need to fight a few times a year, unless your a golden child like Connor or Jones. Same with the best never fighting the best in boxing, so much money and politics behind the scenes.

[@djmorley718]

Even Connor only got 5m out of the 50m made in one ppv. They released the numbers the other week

[@healthwithmarcus]

You never know, but I think Aspinall might be that dude.

[@freedomfighters101]

[@johnconlon6732]

Your wrong toms going nowere watch

[@BBeowulf]

You were right

[@SJC9726]

Hard to tell but id probably put toms speed closer to featherweight than welter. Throws hands quicker than the likes of poirier in lw

[@martyfakenewsman101]

fr its crazy

[@RuinedExpert5624]

I will be happy if tom wins but sergei is gonna take thisby ko dude is a war machine

[@telquel7843]

They don't stand in front of him on purpose, the reason cagey fighters stand in front of Sergei is because he throws very accurately and once they taste the power they are stunned. It's the classic of having a game plan until you get punched in the face. The first round or two will be critical if Aspinall wants this fight to go his way. If Sergei can cut off the cage and land early I do not think anyone weathers it.

[@BBeowulf]

Tom ate his power and slept him in the first round. Crazy.

[@telquel7843]

@@BBeowulf yeah Sergei did not fight his usual fight. Not sure if the moment got to him or that early leg kick from Tom made him think twice. Usually when he wobbled his opponent like he did Tom he swarms in but today he was hesitant. Full credit to Tom though.

What is Tom talking about, Jon Jones just turned 36 LOL

[@phillipdelfmoore6716]

Tom is a welterweight in a heavyweights body no one in the division moves like him. I think pavlovich's stationary flat footed oponants have favoured him that's why I can't see him beating Tom...

[@rollin60z]

Hooker got the story wrong 😂 it wasnt Dana, and they didnt ask ab the title they asked if he was ready to fight as MSG

[@liamrmorgans921]

Jon Jones is 36

​@@MrWickHaHaBobayegawtf has that gotta do with anything? I like dam but he IS sounding punch drunk.

[@ngwzi5229]

Tom is a more complete MMA fighter but he's head is always up in the sky like he's peeping over a fence and that is dangerous against Tavlovich. Both fighters can absolutely win.

[@FayeClegg]

Tom will come through some adversity in this fight. Sergei is very very dangerous but Tom's fight IQ is what should get him through this. His fight IQ is leagues ahead of his competition.

[@besmart2350]

Again short notice and no camp at all??? This didn’t go well recently for guys like Kamaru and Volk and others. Why risk it so much??

[@ciaranmck4469]

Have to risk it. Tom is that good that it doesn't matter he'll get that title fight sooner or later. And he's fought guys like this for years so I don't think his gameplan changes for sergi. Bisping did an interview with Tom and put it quite well (especially when you know he won the title on short notice against rockhold) he said don't think of it as you've only got 2 weeks to train this fight think of it as you've been training for this fight for years (something along those lines but you get the point)

[@besmart2350]

@@ciaranmck4469 I think Tom is gonna lose. I don’t think he’s got the tools necessary to beat Pavlovich. Let’s come back here after the fight and see if I was wrong

[@InterYamah]

Hes young enough at heavyweight that a loss right now isnt a disaster, he will have more opportunities. So if a chance at the title comes this early then why not have a crack at it? If you have that belt your pay sky rockets

[@besmart2350]

@@InterYamah there’s a risk of severe damage done to him which might slow done him in the future. Volk made a mistake and now he doesn’t look right after that kick, I hope his career doesn’t go down spiral after this loss. For me, it would’ve been perfect to see Pavlovich vs Francis, I wish they arrange it somehow in the future
