Media “Tom Aspinall’s standup is on another level than I’ve seen on any MMA-fighter“ ~ Rico Verhoeven

[BoxerMaurits]

Some very nice words from the champion!
Will their training pay-off?

 

[Megatronlee]

Does he know what that means tho ?
Like how educated is he on how top level Mma strikers look vs just kickboxers? Has he met the black beast?

 

[KOPPE]

"my friend is good"

 

[Typrune Goatley]

I guess he means any MMA fighter besides Poatan, Cro Cop, Mark Hunt, Semmy Schilt, Wonderboy, Israel Adesanya...

Which is fair because they were all high level professional strikers first before becoming full time MMA fighters

MMA it's Different you have to worry against the Grappling, Lewis it's Good for MMA but any Elite Kickboxer eat him alive look Hunt made him looks Average.

 

[MigitAs]

Yeah but Sergei had a full camp

For sure, he’s trained with the likes of Francis Ngannou:







Rico without a doubt knows what it’s like to train with high-level MMA guys

A spinal has a glass knee

That’s just hyperbole. Rico’s a stud but obviously he’s hyping his boy up

Seems like a really cool guy.

Leaning towards Aspinall in this one, but that comment is almost meaningless. Reminds me of the boxers hyping up Nate Diaz. It’s just being loyal to your friends, I would do the same.

 

[TCE]

Aspinall KO's Ngannou confirmed.

Haha.

I love Aspinall, and I'm going against my countryman here and saying Pavlovich wins this. Pains me to say.

 

[blaseblase]

Would love to see it though

 

[davidlemonparty]

Aspinall was getting styled on by blaydes before the injury.

 

[Yankee]

He doesn't even have the best stand up in his division...

 

[Laheys'Liquorland]

Curtis Blaydes pieced him up in standup.

How dare you, Aspinall is the much better fighter imo, he wins more often than not.

I don't understand how anyone that watched that fight can think this, the fight essentially never really got started. , it's like one person says something about the fight and then everyone repeats that narrative.
