Adam Catterall is the best interviewer in the game

The difference between an good interviewer vs. a company interviewer like Brett Okamoto that just puts an audience to sleep. I'm not even a big Aspinal fan and I sat through this whole video without stopping because of the quality of the interview!

[@ClintBeastBud]

Tommy boy is an absolute stud,to run through volkov how he did was seriously impressive,deffo be a future champion I'm sure of it.....good luck against Curtis that'll be a real test.

[@dahui58]

Agreed, and Volkov with another first round stoppage recently only legitimizes Tom further

[@ClintBeastBud]

@@dahui58 yeah if he finishes Curtis in the first round that'll be a major statement bro.....it'll be amazing to see him against the top two or three in the division,but I believe Curtis's wrestling heavy style is where he proves his worth,from what I've seen people are massively underestimating Tom's ground game.

Tom is more then competent to survive on the ground vs blaydes. On top of this blaydes has extremely questionable cardio, so I’m predicting a late finish for Tom.

@@david6178 If he is on top he is more than capable. We've not seen Tom go the distance so his cardio is questionable, nor go through a grueling fight on the feet or on the ground. I also think it will be a late stoppage but it won't be easy. The Volkov fight was very impressive and if he wins pretty comfortably against Blaydes then he will definitely be champ and most likely hold it for a long time.
