Media Tom Aspinall training with GLORY heavyweight champion Rico Verhoeven

[Van Daz]

Tom Aspinall and Rico Verhoeven have been training from time to time for years now.
However, this time around (a few weeks ago) Tom was training in the Netherlands at Superpro Sportcenter (where Rico trains) for an extended period, and just a few days after he got back home in the UK he got the call from UFC to fight Sergei Pavlovich for the interim heavyweight-title.

Rico Verhoeven’s camp is known for their strength-and conditioning and reflexes training, so I expect that Tom Aspinall left my country in the best possible shape right before he got the big call from UFC!
Let’s hope both Aspinall and Pavlovich show up as their best version for the short preparation time they’ve had

(PS: Dutch Sherbro’s, I know I made a lil’ spelling mistake, “een” should be “aan” ofcourse, just a rare @BoxerMaurits L)


Btw, the comment section indicates that Tom and Rico did some hard sparring-rounds, so that begs the question:
Who would win if they were to fight?

A few months ago I had a conversation with Dennis Krauweel (Rico Verhoeven’s head-coach) at a combat sports event in NL.
I also asked him about Tom Aspinall, and Krauweel told me he could tell from his training that Tom is an extremely talented striker!

War Aspinall

You can tell they are fighters, they stand there, pose & freakin' point...

 

[Icanseeu]

I don't like RIco so I hope he loses.

 

[Wetarmpits]

Pretty sure most people in South America are happier than all of them.

I met a lot of europeans here and they love how laid back we are. But I was also told that Netherlands is awesome.

Most people in middle europe are miserable. Netherlands are more laid back tho than germans or poles.

 

[McGeezle]

How have 12 people voted for a kickboxer to somehow stop aspinall's grappling? This place scares me sometimes

 

[FloydMayweatherMMA]

In which sport?

I think both men win in the sport they compete in.

 

[BoxerMaurits]

Awesome post sir, you're a fuckin monster out here.
In MMA I think Tom wins, but in kickboxing I think Rico takes it to be honest.

I told you when you told me about Cookie and Rico that I thought Cookie was win, and I'm still stand by my position.

I think Cookie's style will present Rico with some problems.
He's a big man, that is fast and hits hard.
Rico will have to dig deep if he's going to win this, I just don't think he can do it this time.

Always liked Rico but this dude might be too much.

We’ll see what happens sir, so many questions to be answered this Saturday, I can’t wait.
I really like both guys though, but I met Cookie a couple of times IRL and he’s such a cool dude, like, really humble and just a normal guy lol.
All the best to him

 

[downthepines]

Serg via vicious KO.

 

[WolverReem]

Yeah the dude who’s been the kickboxing Super HW champ for 10 years is obviously a bum.

you fucking moron.

Did you actually watch his fights or just read wiki casual noob? He gets dropped every fight and was losing and nearly got KOd to the corpse of Badr Hari. Lost to old Semy Schilt and got KOd by fat JBS in his prime lol. Triggered casual brit fan detected. And he's not the super HW champ casual that's a fat weight class for overweight fatasses like you. You don't know anything about kickboxing. Fuckin idiot casual Khamzat dork. Go watch guys dry hump each other

I think Tom is great and the future, but he didn't have to wear lifts just to be in the pic with @BoxerMaurits imo!
