Cage Warriors 107: Tom Aspinall vs Michael Ben Hamouda | September 28, 2019

[@overtblowfish4439]

Idk how aspinall is so fast he's like a maxed out video game character

[@newwonderer]

you are from UK didnt ya? u can just put all possible tags on him there

[@KellyfromMemphisDD214]

He was a small guy, like his dad. So he worked on his speed. Then he had some crazy painful growth spurt in his late teens, but was still fast (with help from his mma trainer @ Kaobon gym)

[@RyanG0899]

​@@newwondererTry making sense next time

[@Yungwrld999]

The thing is, his physique isn’t as prominent here as it is today

[@__D-B__]

​@KellyfromMemphis It's also because he was sparring with smaller guys for a long time because he didn't have any good heavyweights to spar with in the uk, moving around with smaller guys made his speed and reactions insanely fast.

[@yumjoystyle2]

And he's only gotten better. Jon Jones wants NOTHING to do with him. Gonna hide that belt under his bed, if Dana tries to strip him again.

[@mrshab]

Jones wants to do with the next generation since 2018 both in 205 and heavyweight except for "zero grappling" Cyril gane only after "no legs" Francis exposed ganes grappling 😂

[@yumjoystyle2]

@@mrshab if "no legs" Francis can lay on you for 5 rounds, and you can't get up, then you're not the top level lol

[@Yourmoma8one]

Tom is doing that arm on shoulder THING !! ( he's measuring Him ) BOOM

If you genuinely think this is 'measuring' his opponent then I guess you think he never hits pads or stands next to anyone else. If he should be doing anything it would be the opposite to judge their reach. A professional fighter knows exactly how long his reach is

[@alfikri3283]

He measure his own reach by doing that, it doesn't make sense at all unless the opponent put his hands on aspinall, that's how it works

[@markusbaker1161]

He did the same to jones when they met. He’s checking distance. This guy is so calculated. He’s gonna be an incredible champion when they unify the belts.

[@bendover9663]

@@markusbaker1161 yeah and it doesn't matter that Jones took his arm off because Tom got what he wanted already haha....

[@atithesnail]

But what distance is he actually checking? Even if the other guy is putting their hands on his shoulder the same way, their wrist is contacting with Aspinall's shoulder, what distance is that? Are their arms fully extended doing that? No. So are you saying he's measuring their opponent's reach by checking how far their wrists laying on his shoulder are from their body without a fully extended arm? What are we talking about? :D That's bullshit.

[@hokagejason4732]

Lmao it might just be me but I swear the ref was looking at the announcer like "this goofy mf'er" during the introduction

[@mober111]

His skill level even back in 2019 was scary high

[@collinkelleu5609]

It's way too early to call but this guy has the talent to put his name in the goat convo one day, ofc it takes more than talent cause we know he might be a bit injury prone

[@oxsila]

@@collinkelleu5609 His knee was just troubling him for years. He got surgery on it so I don't see him getting injured unless something proper freak happens

[@collinkelleu5609]

@@oxsila yeah I'm big on tommy man if nothing like that happens, i think he'll be a problem for a long time, practically cleared the division already and no up and coming prospects looking like the guy to beat him rn. We could be looking at a future goat

Just crazy. Usually that kind of speed comes at the cost of power, but not with Tom. The 2 had the guy out for a moment. Crazy power

[@marcusfreeney5483]

Hasn't fought anyone at this point. I'm watching all his fights

[@yumjoystyle2]

I guess the shoulder thing is something he's always done.

[@aidanbagwell7879]

I’m guessing Sergei reciprocated bcs he saw him do it before from watching tape

[@Paddylad123]

Aspinal vs NNganou would be awesome 🤜🏻👊🏻

[@nate_4594]

That would be a great fight. Let’s hope Francis comes back

[@KL6Soup]

no dana’s a cheap mf

[@bartekgorniak5758]

He knocked out Serghei Pavlovich and Curtis Blaydes with exactly the same " one two " combo :) Awesome, something like Pereira " Left hook" or Deontay Wilder " straight Right" . Tom is a monster. The GOAT

[@MMAisTHEbestSPORT08]

He actually dropped Curtis with a jab but he missed the right hand 😂.... it's crazy how much power this guy has to be able to drop a dude with a single jab.

[@thomaschandler4831]

The hand on the shoulder is a sign of respect …. True warriors are not haters … they are top level competitors 🏆

[@scousethekid6014]

Thats how it looks but the reason he does that is to measure distance right before they start fighting he is a smart man

[@Dob_Ogurt]

Exactly top level competitors. It's competition, he's big brothering them and possibly measuring reach

[@kh2716]

Hand on the shoulder is a sign of how far away do I need to be to connect... but sure, think of it as respectful!

[@huzizach]

Are you guys fighters or something?

Heavyweight champ. Let's be honest Jones don't want that smoke and never did

[@yumjoystyle2]

@@mrshab shoulda relinquished the belt or been stripped. Look at the light-heavyweights not holding up the division.

[@ItsameAlex]

Yeah definitely.

[@chantellschmahl]

First time seeing this fight. The speed at which Tom sprawled at the take down tells me everything I need to know about his fight against the 🦆.

[@Dedicated_.1]

Would you say Jones is the GOAT if he beats Aspinall?

[@chantellschmahl]

@Dedicated_.1 no, I'd say JJ and was the goat even before moving to heavyweight. I don't like the person and all of the doping, but having watched the championship histories of all the divisions, I just couldn't find another talent like his, largely due to his fight IQ. DJ 🐭 was right up there with him for me. With the heavyweight nod it solidifies his goat status even more. Listen, I'm not hating on the athlete JJ is, I just can't stand what he's doing to the division and the fans. Tom deserves a shot at the undisputed belt, regardless who against. And the fans are demanding that the champion and interim fight, rightfully so. Those have been the rules, we've been told. And I don't think Tom walks through JJ. I want Tom to win because I like him and what it means for the future of the division. But I'm nervous for him. Which is why this was reassuring for me to see. If JJ wins, great. Tom will have more shots. If Tom wins, great. His dreams come true and JJ remains the goat, probably forever. I just either want to see him fight the most deserving guy or give up the belt.

[@Chazman2705]

So he was doing that reach test trick even back then?

[@philkilgallon3852]

Don't think this Aspinall fellow has much of a future in MMA to be honest - I think this is as far as he goes.
