Compilation of Aspinall fighting dirty

The narrative right now is that Gane is a dirty fighter, and has a history of dirty tactics, but Aspinall is quite dirty himself. He especially has a bad habit of striking opponents to the back of the head. Outside of his official DQ loss to illegal strikes ( Which has conveniently been scrubbed from the internet) I've timestamped some clips below that show Tom isn't as squeaky clean as they'd like you to believe. I'd argue he fights dirtier than Gane.

Here is "winning" a fight with a blatant, intentional, brutal elbow to the back of the head. This would 100% be a DQ loss in most orgs :


More blatant strikes to the back of the head after getting getting dominated most of the fight, still ends up losing:


Another strike to the back of the head:


Kick to the groin:


ANOTHER blatant punch to the back of the head after dropping Collier:

Dirty Tom Sanchez

You're stretching longer than stretch armstrong with theses.
 
The amount of new accounts in the last 10 days that post about nothing but Tom is astounding.

Good research 👍 Would be even better to have those fouls in gif rather than YT (region restrictions, etc.).
 
Looking very closely and replaying, none of these really look intentional.

The first one for example... he was elbowing the guy legally and the guy quickly turned his head as he threw that last elbow,
It was just the timing of it, happened at the same time. And he stopped right away...

Groin kick definitely did not look intentional either. And the Stuart Austin fight, he looks like he's tryna punch around to his face,
He just keeps turning. I'd imagine it's hard to remain fully accurate with every attempt in a frenzy, with your opponent turning constantly.

Also just realised what insane reach McGregor has for his size. Aspinall is 6'5, a big heavyweight and has 78inch reach
McGregor is a 5'8 manlet and fought at FW, yet has 74inch reach, which is also longer than Mike Tyson (71),
Also showing why what Mike Tyson did with such a disadvantage did was so impressive.
