Limelight This guy is the future of the HW division

[Poohead7]

I remember a thread like this 10 years ago. The prospects name was Shane Carwin

i made that thread. i said he could be btw didnt say definitely. guess i was more right than i thought.

Looks like Tom will be fighting Satish Jha at BAMMA 19. Word is not many people want to face him, even this early in his career.

Poor Tom, Satish is going to destroy him.

Best necro thread I've seen in a long time. Big respect to TS.

Tom's regional career was such a wild ride in-between his DQ loss, getting caught by Austin and then switching to Boxing for a bit. Very glad he did return and never looked back. Like 90% of the HW prospects from a decade ago flamed out, vast majority without even hitting the UFC.

You are the man. How did you find him back then? Was he a local fighter or something?

Carwin has been announced as 6'4" dude is 6'2" tops.

Guess Tom grew a couple of inches

I dont see Jones getting past this. Hes too fast.

I was a shitty regional amateur MMA fighter back in the day, and was on a few cards where Tom fought, he was blowing through people with ease, at a very young age.

I started training BJJ with his dad, and got to know them a little in the early days, and saw first hand how many people saw his HL reel and ducked him instantly, across Europe.

I knew it was a matter of time before he was found and put on a big stage, now he's doing to world class MMA fighters the same thing he did to regional amateur /pro MMA fighters, it's insane, and I couldn't be happier for him and his dad, genuinely two of the nicest people I've met in my MMA journey.

I thought I'd mention him on here to get him some recognition back then, as I hadn't seen a single thread about him back then.

@Wololo
Cool story bro. Actually very cool story.

 

[Jin Akutsu]

Awesome prediction TS, props!

 

[STRAWBOSS]

Tom Aspinall, 20 years old, 9-0 as an amateur, 2-0 as a pro so far, legit killer, remember the name. You'll be seeing him a lot in the future.

got here thanks to sir @Ares Black.

Tom is def a beast. damn. of course I knew that but this footage is great to watch. Oof, on behalf of his opponents.

May I ask why the ring matt is made of diapers?

 

[Stun Gun]

Great prediction

 

[BJJ4Tone]

Prospect for sure, brutal truth is he's will never be champion if he remains training in the UK. Obviously there is plenty of time to train in the US in the future but it really needs to be done in my opinion.
