This is the best interview with any UFC fighter I have ever seen in my life. You can tell when someone is a true, genuine person and Tom is the real deal, as a person and a fighter. Everything he said about the whole situation is spot on and anyone who says anything else is just biased because they love Jon as a fighter. Tom is the real champ and I can’t wait to see him get the respect he deserves!
This is tom in every interview lmao hes always honest as fuck same with ddp and islam their all very honest champs same with alex same for jones omally
@@danelhernandez4875 I’ll agree with ddp, he seems genuine. But Islam is cocky imo. Not to say he’s not good but he discredits everybody else, whereas tom has respect for everybody else
@GenerationGamez your right but i also think thats toms problem right now he needs to straight up call jons a scared pussy but he wont hes not making jons look as bad as he could
I am a big fan of Jon Jones and Tom Aspinal, buuuuuut.. to be honest i think Jones doesn’t want to lose hir fight record, since he doesn’t get a scratch in his legacy. Jon you have more then enough scratches in your legacy. Dont be a wimp and fight that guy.
Not going to say Jon is 'scared' or Tom, but he defintely sees him as 10x more of a threat than he does Stipe. What in the hell does Jon beating Stipe prove at this point? Absolutely nothing and there is no hype in the fight other than people just wanting to see Jones once in a blue moon fight.
@@Michigan.woodsman Yeah, I think he sees him as a threat to his legacy. It's like a bet that he doesnt see favorable odds on if you know what I'm saying.
@turkeyman631 I'm picking up what you're putting down. I'm having the same thoughts. Tom is a huge threat to the "goat" legacy. I think Jon's just trying to survive his current contract so he can dip out gracefully
Bruh, he has a fight already scheduled. Once that's over if he ducks Tom then then you all can call him scared. You're all so annoying right now with your endless pestering. You're really showing that you don't understand how things work.
Its actually lame. Tom should have called out Jon before he was booked to fight Stipe, before he was injured, not after. Tom's name never came up even once, after he's injured and already booked you call him out and act like he's ducking, so lame.
@@alexboulton9145 literally made 4 points in my comment and you respond with childish insults with zero points and then call me a kid? Toolbag. Big difference is I'm neither a Jon or Tom fan, I'm a fight fan.
@@predawnbobcat so you think the injury was faked so UFC can keep the Stipe fight? But the Stipe fight was already booked and Tom's name was neve mentioned nor did he call for Jon until after the injury, seriously you Tom fans are special kind of dumb.
Problem is, Tom sounds like an ex girlfriend that just won't let Jones go. Stop begging, Jones is a fking troll, the more Tom begs the less likely he is to get the fight.
@@manwithnoname734 , Aspinall deserves to be champ and his career is being affected by Jones ducking him. He can't "let go" because he beat all of the top contenders in the top 10, while Gane doesn't seem to want to fight with anyone anymore.
2 British legends both showing class so much respect for the 2 fighting men and I’d say bispings interview skills are as great as his fighting heart which made him the champion he became
What an interview, it gets very deep about 20 minutes in I didn’t think I could have any more respect for Tom and Mike but a lot of that really hit home just normal regular blokes that done extraordinary things and revolutionised their lives, truly wish them all the best and hope Tom manages to get that Jon fight
Tom Aspinall is the absolute best role model any young man could have. And, as Lionheart pointed out he made the most badass statement ever made in the history of the UFC.."Ill retire Jon Jones wothout even fighting him"!!!!! Lets go BIG TOM
19:28 that is crazy 🔥 strong point from Tom. I felt he was really respectful and honest. There is an inherent contradiction in UFC saying Jon p4p #1 and is the absolute best in world, while also being protected from Tom, who is beating multiple hw's that are active in UFC right now. It just feels objectively true to me. I feel majority of fans now want Tom v Jon but just imo
Any fan of the sport thinks this way I reckon, this is almost unheard of. Dana always said the UFC is not boxing the best fight the best and we unify belts. Guess not anymore.
@@clintonmallard8447 it’s all about money & always has been . Remember when Dana said he would do cross promotion with boxing ? Then Conor vs Floyd happened. Money rules all unfortunately
@@Holeephucc that is true. at this point i start to wonder tho if Tom v Jon might not be able to do just as well as Stipe v Jon now.. or at least close.. Tom is on fire now imo, maybe it could blow up, idk.. Tho maybe there are other considerations in terms of business and brand that I am not thinking of also.. maybe even beyond just how well the ppv and tickets sell but idk
@@patricknez7258 for me Tom vs Jon is 50/50. Because it’s Jon jones lol bro is talented like crazy. For me he can’t be the goat after he beat gane …. I mean cmon we knew he would wrestle him & im sure gane didn’t think jones would be that strong 😂.. but to be in active all this time just holding onto the belt while they have a interim & Tom defends the interim 😂? So crazy theory . UFC and jones have history , idk what type but they do. When Jon got popped he helped usada catch all the steroid users n such….. weird sequence of events tbh … but I feel Dana is tryna push Jon as his “Tom Brady” which he isn’t. Don’t get my wrong he is definitely top 3 all time in terms of skills for me but outside of that…. Nah, I 100% believe he was on the juice most of his career idk why but 🤷🏻♂️ ufc follows money & usually never makes the best fights , only recently they started to risk it. Think about it 2 superstars in the same division. Money talks …. Let’s milk this until they have to fight each other
Great interview with Tom Aspinall, Anthony Smith and Michael Bisping! Tom is such a humble guy, respectful, likable, really hope he gets the Jon Jones fight, Tom deserves it.
Tom is awesome. Hard not to like his personality, fight style, the way he’s respectfully calling out Jon but making it clear he wants the fight. He’s very well spoken.
Goat of Peds/steroids 👌 Goat of ducking from aspinall,ngannou 👌 Goat of beating a pregnant wife 👌 Goat of fighting every once in 4yrs 👌 Goat of having 1 fight in hw
If you want an example of how much better peds make you, as soon as usada came in bisping with a broken body, an eye missing and nearly 40 yrs old became champ because all the juice heads couldn't cheat there way to the top anymore
Glad Tom is stepping up the emotion on the JJ topic! Dana needs public pressure to change direction on this, but I do believe Tom "will retire JJ without fighting him"!
Tom Aspinall is an amazing human being and on his way to building a legacy that will be around for a long, long time! 6 of the top 10 in the first round. Sheesh!! I also love the brotherhood and camaraderie between Bisping and Smith - they're like to lads who've grown up through school together and used to lash about on their BMXs. Great episode chaps!
One of the best interviews I’ve seen Mike and Antony do with a guest. Very entertaining, you can feel the comradery between Mike and Tom which made for a good interview

@@EverythingHoops7705 No you can’t claim that, he showed up to fight Tony multiple times, no one ducked that the fight was just cursed. Also you don’t understand, if Jon had retired a year ago this wouldn’t be an issue. The problem is he’s still fighting just refusing to fight the real champion so that he can fight a grandpa
TOM HANG IN THERE YOU'LL DEFINITELY GET YOUR TURN . SERIOUSLY TOM YOU DEFINITELY NOT RETIRING BONES JONES . DON'T BE SURPRISED TOM YOU GET EITHER SUBMITTED OR TKO .
Tom aspinall doesn't have to talk trash on jones, he knows he can beat him, thats why he's talking kind of nice trying to convince him or the ufc or whatever he's the real champion
Tom be like "Jon Jones holding onto that heavyweight belt like it’s a protein shake full of ‘extra supplements’-I just hope it’s not the same stuff that made him heavyweight in the first place!"
I'm a Boltonian and Mike I love these interviews with Tom and the fact you can take the lads from the north but not the north from the lads. They are running scared from Tom, dont be suprised if they call on him last min to step in, in the hope hes not ready which will be a huge mistake, its only a matter of time before he gets what he truly truly deserves. Mike keep up the great work and never lose that humour, great show.
Jones is SCARED of Tom he will retire after beating stipe in November so he can go out on top, no amount of Dana’s meat riding can save him from the public eye seeing that he’s scared of Tom
@@13JazzyG these guys are professional fighters. I doubt they’re afraid of other men. I’m not even half Tom’s size and I’m not afraid of him. Not saying I’d win a fight against him, but I’m definitely not afraid and if I’m not I highly doubt trained killers are
Really enjoying these videos you're making Mike only been watching your stuff for a couple of weeks now what genuine nice guy Tom is, I am so made of fine😊😊😊😊 thank you......
Mike has done the exact same thing Jon is doing. He won the belt off Rockhold and then fought the number 12th ranked Hendo, then went and fought GSP, who was a retired WW meanwhile Yoel and Whittaker was just chomping at the bit
Shows how good Tom is, that if an opponent lands it's brought up, how many other fighters hear "well he clipped you a couple of times?" after a fight, because usually it's a given it's going to happen in a fight.
I accidentally ordered “iced turtle mocha “ from our local Caribou store and it is the best soft drink I’ve ever tried. It wakes me up and tastes so good.
Name another fighter that dominated a division like Jones and then went up a division and got the that strap, too? Most of us can't stand Jones but what he has done in the sport is unmatched.
Well if Jones is that good then he shouldn’t have any problem with Aspinall now should he? It’s sad to see a champion ducking a contender so blatantly, Jones needs to take a leaf out of AP’s book when Alex was asked who he fights next he just confidently says “anyone”
@@Thefamgang If Aspinall is as good as people claim, should we expect him to win a belt and defend it 13 times? The fact is, that would never happen. Aspinall’s style is all about rushing in and overwhelming his opponents. Jones, on the other hand, would systematically break him down, leaving Aspinall looking like a deer in headlights-just as we saw with Gane and Stipe. This time next year, watch how we all view Aspinall..
Great interview michael. And i enjoyed smiths comments and views. I do hope doing these interviews will give smith some confidence and pride in his opinions.
@@fgc1850 He beats the best heavyweight on the planet and can retire as the undeniable GOAT. Beating a 42 year old full time firefighter does not give you any reward.
🎉 mint content this Tom just chills zoomed out on camera to allow his aura Anthony class as always Binsping we need Tom on as much as possible Aspinall’s count coming soon
He’s on the verge of tears ever time he speaks lmao look when Jon and him met in person he backed down and apologized and removed his hand like a bitch. Jones will retire undefeated and y’all gonna cry 😂😂😂😂
Tom keep on at him! His ego won’t allow himself to not take the challenge I believe, you’re the best heavyweight & now the champs got to step up to the plate. Let him have his warm up v stipe although I think stipe could definitely cause Jon some problems. Either one of them can get it though 🏴
Finally someone who sees the picture!! Jon is after stipe for legacy. Look at the names on stipe resume. Look at the names on Jon resume. At those guys age they're old in fighting years. So the fight is actually pretty even. Jon is not a true HW!! Why should he take the Aspinall fight?? The guy has never chosen his ops B4!! Jon has earned his picks and so has Stipe!! Y'all young ppl need to learn patience!! Ain't no elite HW at the time so how is one to TRULY measure tom when he has no elites to test himself against. I like all 3 fighters but let's also be realistic
@@EvilSmonker Jones is already the goat. But the fact that he sat on the belt is the problem. If tom lost to aspinal or if he don't fight him he will be remembered by many as a ducking champion. The clash with aspinall is destroying Jon public image. That is not good at all
@@paulphoenix6512 i think in 10 years all we will remember is how jones was the most dominant mma fighter ever (even if he ducks Aspinall) besides maybe mighty mouse.
@@EvilSmonker Lens amstrong is remenbered as the great tour de france runner also but full of PEDS. iN EVERY ARCHIVE Jones will took the mention Ducking master or Full of PEDS. Just wait when people will modify Jon Jones WIKIPEDIA page. He will not be seen as a Tom Brady or another true goat for example. Aspinall has succed in pushing that in everybody mind and this is not the end.
Just finished Michael’s audio book. Highly recommend it! I wish Michael could have done the audio but where would they have put the English captions? LOL big Bisping fan!
well, I'm not a Jon fan, but I dont get your point? Of course Tom is the future, so what? GSP who is my all-time fav. was clearly burnt out at the end of his WW run and guys like Lawler and Woodley were the future and if GSP stuck around he would probably loose, a lot of people thought he lost to Hendricks, but all-time GSP is still the WW GOAT over them all including Usman. If Jon retires now, or after Stipe, or fights Tom, win or loose he's still the GOAT, his legacy is already set and it has nothing to do with Tom.
Nobody denies that. We just think it’s funny all the new fans act like Jon needs to beat Tom for his legacy. Jon’s legacy is set in stone. Tom is a rookie who just got popular recently.
@@shialeboof3504 exactly, Jon can retire now or win or loose to Stipe or Tom and it wouldn't matter. It's like GSP, it was obvious he was burnt out at the end of his run, many thought he lost to Hendricks and if he stuck around, good chance he'd have loose to guys like Woodley, or Lawler, but all-time he's still far better than them all including Usman. There's a big difference between fighter fans and fight fans.
Honestly don’t think Jon gets through the first minute against Tom. His only chance would be to injure and slow down Tom with his oblique kicks. He won’t knock him down, won’t out grapple him and certainly won’t finish him.
He could barely kick and even move around fast as he would back in the days 😂🎉 aspinall will.murder jones this is not something to discuss about or hesitate about
@Rezurrekted You know damn well Jon doesn't deserve the Dana privilege. We all know what happened to every other champ who's been inactive. You're just gonna have to deal with the complaining.
Love these guys, Fantastic podcast . And Tom Aspinal, really adds something special to the ufc, and is a really Genuine down to earth bloke it seems . Respect to all 3 👊
You can tell how good Tom is by the fact he still has perfect brain function, one of the best speakers from the ufc, that’s what happens when your fights last less than a minute and you barely get touched.

Jones is SCARED of Tom he will retire after beating stipe in November so he can go out on top, no amount of Dana’s meat riding can save him from the public eye seeing that he’s scared of Tom
Ain’t nobody scared of Tom 😂
Are you trolling or genuinely so stupid you believe a fighter, one of the greatest to ever do it, is scared of another fighter?
Serious question.
@@shialeboof3504how did you come to that conclusion?
@@13JazzyG these guys are professional fighters. I doubt they’re afraid of other men. I’m not even half Tom’s size and I’m not afraid of him. Not saying I’d win a fight against him, but I’m definitely not afraid and if I’m not I highly doubt trained killers are
@@shialeboof3504 talking out your ays you'd get folded like a dishcloth
That’s the best interview I’ve ever seen on you tube 👍👍👍
The right answer was "I don't drink iced coffee" 😂
ice coffee is goat of all coffees
Iced coffee stole ur girl
Only gays and yanks drink iced coffee
@@lukase87 if you gonna drink coffee black is the way to go
@@BartBasquiato Black iced coffee is goated too
Really enjoying these videos you're making Mike only been watching your stuff for a couple of weeks now what genuine nice guy Tom is, I am so made of fine😊😊😊😊 thank you......
Mike has done the exact same thing Jon is doing. He won the belt off Rockhold and then fought the number 12th ranked Hendo, then went and fought GSP, who was a retired WW meanwhile Yoel and Whittaker was just chomping at the bit
You think Mike or Jon call the shots? This is purely on Dana and his bullshit
@Theganjaman88 jon is calling the shot with tom. He wont fight tom, hes too young
@@voo5000 you mean Jon is too old. Tom is like 30 years old 😂😂😂😂
@Theganjaman88 well yes. Jones only like old guys or middleweights..lol
@@voo5000 I agree. He absolutely loves smaller men than him sexually too and steroids
Shows how good Tom is, that if an opponent lands it's brought up, how many other fighters hear "well he clipped you a couple of times?" after a fight, because usually it's a given it's going to happen in a fight.
Never tried an iced coffee. My American friend begs me to get one. It's too cold in england man
I accidentally ordered “iced turtle mocha “ from our local Caribou store and it is the best soft drink I’ve ever tried. It wakes me up and tastes so good.
Definitely better in hot weather!
What a great bunch of guys , sending love from Scotland 🏴
13 title defences. That is crazy..
Fighting midgets
Light Heavyweight Goat? Absolutely. Heavyweight Goat? Not even on DCs level if he beats Stipe
Name another fighter that dominated a division like Jones and then went up a division and got the that strap, too?
Most of us can't stand Jones but what he has done in the sport is unmatched.
Well if Jones is that good then he shouldn’t have any problem with Aspinall now should he?
It’s sad to see a champion ducking a contender so blatantly, Jones needs to take a leaf out of AP’s book when Alex was asked who he fights next he just confidently says “anyone”
@@Thefamgang
If Aspinall is as good as people claim, should we expect him to win a belt and defend it 13 times? The fact is, that would never happen. Aspinall’s style is all about rushing in and overwhelming his opponents. Jones, on the other hand, would systematically break him down, leaving Aspinall looking like a deer in headlights-just as we saw with Gane and Stipe. This time next year, watch how we all view Aspinall..
Great interview michael. And i enjoyed smiths comments and views. I do hope doing these interviews will give smith some confidence and pride in his opinions.
The best way to put is this. Jon isn’t scared of beating beat up by Tom, he’s scared of losing his 0 to a threat like Tom.
Jones is scared of tom like he was scared of francis ngannou. Dude ducks real competition where his advantages arent so clear.
Love to hear what is the reward for beating tom exactly? The opinion of a bunch of sore haters on the internet? Legit worthless
@@fgc1850 He beats the best heavyweight on the planet and can retire as the undeniable GOAT. Beating a 42 year old full time firefighter does not give you any reward.
@@fgc1850unifying the belt, you absolute clown. This is supposed to be a sport not WWE or freak show fights. casuals 🤮 🤮
@@fgc1850hello jones
🎉 mint content this
Tom just chills zoomed out on camera to allow his aura
Anthony class as always
Binsping we need Tom on as much as possible
Aspinall’s count coming soon
Tom and Dricus are the true Gentlemen Champs of the UFC.
He's not mad, he's perfectly sane.
He’s on the verge of tears ever time he speaks lmao look when Jon and him met in person he backed down and apologized and removed his hand like a bitch. Jones will retire undefeated and y’all gonna cry 😂😂😂😂
Love this channel. Anthony's input is perfect AND Toms channel is great too too.
Toms a beast no doubt
Tom finally got it and delivered. Jon has to respond now. Beautiful delivery Tom.
Tom keep on at him! His ego won’t allow himself to not take the challenge I believe, you’re the best heavyweight & now the champs got to step up to the plate. Let him have his warm up v stipe although I think stipe could definitely cause Jon some problems. Either one of them can get it though 🏴
I disagree. I think Jones' ego is what's stopping him from taking the fight. It would break him if Tom won.
Finally someone who sees the picture!! Jon is after stipe for legacy. Look at the names on stipe resume. Look at the names on Jon resume. At those guys age they're old in fighting years. So the fight is actually pretty even. Jon is not a true HW!! Why should he take the Aspinall fight?? The guy has never chosen his ops B4!! Jon has earned his picks and so has Stipe!! Y'all young ppl need to learn patience!! Ain't no elite HW at the time so how is one to TRULY measure tom when he has no elites to test himself against. I like all 3 fighters but let's also be realistic
That logic is based on yourself, theres no reward for beating little tom, sorry mate but you are projecting
@@Sour_Diesel83 a win over tom is worthless for his legacy, agree
@@Sour_Diesel83patience isn’t the fight game. It’s sink or swim. Jamahal hill and Jiri bothe gave up their belts. Even Conor gave up his.
You can just tell they are talking to greatness. Great mind, great fighter
"I'll retire Jon Jones without fighting him,"
💪💪💪 Strong statement, and that's the only thing that'll get Jones attention.
A duck can't be the GOAT
Jon jones was GOAT way before we know Aspinall
Would love to see the fight, but Jones would still be the goat even if he lost to Aspinall imo.
@@EvilSmonker Jones is already the goat. But the fact that he sat on the belt is the problem. If tom lost to aspinal or if he don't fight him he will be remembered by many as a ducking champion. The clash with aspinall is destroying Jon public image. That is not good at all
@@paulphoenix6512 i think in 10 years all we will remember is how jones was the most dominant mma fighter ever (even if he ducks Aspinall) besides maybe mighty mouse.
@@EvilSmonker Lens amstrong is remenbered as the great tour de france runner also but full of PEDS. iN EVERY ARCHIVE Jones will took the mention Ducking master or Full of PEDS. Just wait when people will modify Jon Jones WIKIPEDIA page. He will not be seen as a Tom Brady or another true goat for example. Aspinall has succed in pushing that in everybody mind and this is not the end.
Just finished Michael’s audio book. Highly recommend it! I wish Michael could have done the audio but where would they have put the English captions? LOL big Bisping fan!
"Recently job Jones came out" nice quote Mike! 😂
Tom seems such a down to earth guy. I hope he gets the chance to prove his point.
0:39 anthony smith may have something in common with jon jones
Great interview 🎉
Tom for sports personality of the year. Eff the BBC
Tom is a British country boy. Down to earth, respectful, but to the point. Seems like a great guy.😊
11:23 what i came here for
Best podcast. Sick work guys. Amazing!!
Jon Jones fans need to get there head around the fact that tom aspinall is the future of the HW.....
well, I'm not a Jon fan, but I dont get your point? Of course Tom is the future, so what? GSP who is my all-time fav. was clearly burnt out at the end of his WW run and guys like Lawler and Woodley were the future and if GSP stuck around he would probably loose, a lot of people thought he lost to Hendricks, but all-time GSP is still the WW GOAT over them all including Usman. If Jon retires now, or after Stipe, or fights Tom, win or loose he's still the GOAT, his legacy is already set and it has nothing to do with Tom.
@@XBlack-oc6xtthank u! Well said!
Nobody denies that. We just think it’s funny all the new fans act like Jon needs to beat Tom for his legacy. Jon’s legacy is set in stone. Tom is a rookie who just got popular recently.
@@shialeboof3504 exactly, Jon can retire now or win or loose to Stipe or Tom and it wouldn't matter.
It's like GSP, it was obvious he was burnt out at the end of his run, many thought he lost to Hendricks and if he stuck around, good chance he'd have loose to guys like Woodley, or Lawler, but all-time he's still far better than them all including Usman. There's a big difference between fighter fans and fight fans.
@@XBlack-oc6xt lose☆
THATS MY BOY!!!!Exactly be a good person and the best ty!!!
Big Tom will be thee best professional heavyweight in the world, he will also shine for the UFC. Go get `em Tom
Great show 🙌🏼
tom is the heavy weight champ.. full stop. great content again guys, sweet as. thanks
"I will retire Jon Jones without even fighting him..." ooooof
Honestly don’t think Jon gets through the first minute against Tom.
His only chance would be to injure and slow down Tom with his oblique kicks.
He won’t knock him down, won’t out grapple him and certainly won’t finish him.
He could barely kick and even move around fast as he would back in the days 😂🎉 aspinall will.murder jones this is not something to discuss about or hesitate about
@@MohamedBulhannyJon did them nasty knee kicks that could potentially injure fighters
I am just hoping for a competitive bout for Tom at this point…
Long fingers😂
Anthony and Bisping are hitting it out of the park with this podcast. Just like the one with Ben Askren's son, this was a great interview.
Stipe would be an absolute chad if he pulled out of the fight last min for Tom to step in
Great show, great lads
Tom knew what he signed up for
That makes no sense whatsoever.
@danielsimms4262 it does, Tom does as his boss says, Dana wants Jones vs Stipe. Tom needs to know his role and stfu crying.
@@Rezurrekted That won't happen as long as he's interim champ. Get used to it.
@Rezurrekted You know damn well Jon doesn't deserve the Dana privilege. We all know what happened to every other champ who's been inactive. You're just gonna have to deal with the complaining.
I am imagining Tom sitting cage side in full UFC gear ready to step up in November.🤣
No way Jon little Jones fight Tom, he is now hiding under the bed afraid of Tom
he's under the bed afraid of losing to TOM,
and was hiding under something else in the gym afraid of USADA right...
Love these guys, Fantastic podcast .
And Tom Aspinal, really adds something special to the ufc, and is a really Genuine down to earth bloke it seems .
Respect to all 3 👊
'I will retire Jones without even fighting him' that is the new coldest line in UFC history
THIS GUY IS THE TRUE HW UFC CHAMP, THIS INTERVIEW WAS GOAT
Great show guys 🎉❤😂
The three nicest guys in MMA, brilliant!!
You can tell how good Tom is by the fact he still has perfect brain function, one of the best speakers from the ufc, that’s what happens when your fights last less than a minute and you barely get touched.
Humble beginnings makes real men! Respect
Tom is a legend!
Love Tom and will be rooting for you my brother!
Agree 💯 with Tom! He is the best heavyweight right now, no doubt about it!
You speak 💯 truth genuine and always keeping it real with respect 1st class
Great interview
tom is undeniable . what a champion
