Tom Aspinall: Walkout song| Highlights| Polish| Flag| Tattoo
Thomas Paul Aspinall (born 11 April 1993) is an English professional mixed martial artist. He currently competes in the Heavyweight division in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), where he is the current interim UFC Heavyweight Champion.
Walkout song
One of the favorite fighters of the home audience, Molly McCann has performed to many different tunes in the past. Previously, Molly stepped out on Jamie Webster’s indie song “The Place” for her battle against Ji Yeon Kim, followed by Dr. Dre’s viral rap song “Just Dre” for her battle against Luana Carolina Had switched.
For her battle against Hannah Goldy, ‘Meatball’ Molly went back to her old song, this time taking on Jamie Webster’s “This Place”. Ultimately, in her final match against Erin Blanchfield, she decided to stick to the same song. So, it will be interesting to see whether this time Mauli sticks to her song selection or makes a twist.
Highlights
Tom Aspinall captured the interim UFC heavyweight title after a stunning first-round TKO of Sergei Pavlovich at UFC 295.
The British fighter needed just 69 seconds to claim victory when a right hand sent his Russian opponent to the mat before the referee intervened following a ground attack.
The 30-year-old Aspinall was called up to fight on just two weeks’ notice after the planned heavyweight title bout between Jon Jones and Stipe Miocic was canceled due to Aspinall suffering an injury prior to the bout.
“It’s been a crazy two and a half weeks,” an emotional Aspinall said after the fight. “I want to tell everyone at home that if you ever get a chance to do something and you’re scared of doing it, you should just do it.”
Polish
Tom Aspinall’s wife, Justinagro Aspinall, is also of Polish nationality, which contributes to his familiarity with the language and culture. This allows them to practice Polish every day. Aspinall prefers to keep his family away from the public eye and hence, does not post much about his wife and children. His wife leaves supportive comments on his fight or training posts.
Even though Aspinall is half Polish, he represents England during his fights. This is mostly because he has lived and trained in England for most of his life.

Tom Aspinall recently fulfilled his dream of winning championship gold in MMA’s top promotion. At UFC 295, he shocked the world by knocking out Sergei Pavlovich in the first round and establishing himself as the UFC interim Heavyweight Champion.
Tom’s father, Andy Aspinall, also made an appearance by his son’s side. So as soon as he received his belt from CEO Dana White, he dedicated his win to his father by handing him his new 265-pound belt. It was a heartfelt moment that marks the pinnacle of Aspinall’s MMA career so far.
Tattoo
Tom Aspinall also has other tattoos on his body. Most noticeable is his chest tattoo. It contains the ruins of a Roman amphitheater with a gladiator standing nearby. This is a wonderful piece of art. But that’s not all, he also has tattoos on both his sleeves.
On his right sleeve, Tom’s tattoos look like traditional Samoan tattoos. But recently they covered it all and got a whole new sleeve. It is completely black and has parts of his old tattoo in the middle.
