I'll never question Tom again he's the real deal.
I thought he was gone be eating dirt with a faceplant omg!!!
put some respect tommy's name 😂
Spammer
@@exspiravit6920funny cause he faceplanted after he knocked out Sergei! Haha
Indeed .respect 😂😂👏🏽👏🏽
I was expecting Tom can win only by submission but he surprised me. What a monster. He probably most agile HW fighter.
he is
gane?
He's well rounded especially for a HW.
He had less training than Pavlovich & still won but thats the heavyweight division for ya
Peter Griffin's alt spammer
I was rooting for Pavlovich, but if he had to lose to someone I'm glad it was Tom. Well deserved.
Couldn't agree more
I was just the other way around 😊 Pavlovich is so respectful. He would have earned it as well.
respect does not make u worthy of a victory@@michaelg.3850
I am Russian and live in Russia. I have great respect for Tom. I think he will cross paths with Sergei again.🇬🇧🇷🇺
Congratulations.... yawn
Amazing moment for Tom and his dad. Well deserved win for a new champ.
he's not a champ though?
@@seddeknadhem5638no he's the new interim champion
@@seddeknadhem5638Where is the "champ"? Waiting for a retirement fight in 18 months? Ain't no champ in my eyes. Dana already said Tom will defend this belt. He's the fucking champ.
Which means he's not a champ.@@wavye4979
What does it mean to have the interim belt? Literally to be the first to take the champ's belt. Until that happens, he's not the champ.@@Burning_Saints
Couldn’t be happier for Tom I’ve met him a few times what a role model and genuine nice fella nobody works harder for his dream
I really honestly thought Sergey was going to win I can't wait to see the actual fight❤❤❤❤ and I haven't seen the results for the main event yet but I'm hoping my boy Mortal Kombat got the w❤❤❤❤

We get it ur British😂😂
@@kylewade8704what a strange comment
@@patriciadavis1393mortal Kombat? Jiri? No he got slept and out on his back, rip to the guy who bet 80k on him. And the commentary besides Jon anik was terrible as usual
I say it as it is: Tom is absolutely amazing. As a fighter, as a role model and also as a human being. So respectful and down to earth. Love you man ❤
How can be a role model when at 16 you were 5'8 and suddenly become 6'5. How many years of his life has he now lost. Would you want that for one of your children? Do you understand what I am saying? Same thing happened to Scottie Pippen and Dennis Rodman. Surely you can work out why?
He a bum
@@Nonegiven14582 It's called a growth spurt, it happens. I went from 5'6'' at 14 to 6'3'' at 16, it's a normal thing that happens to teenage boys that they can't control, how does it effect him being a role model?
@@ddandymann he may have been on HGH. I was fully grown at 16. Sounds like you were too.
Love that he won and he brought up Armistice Day! As an English man I couldn’t be prouder!
Yeah that was special , Tom and his dad are true gentlemen both champions .
Cannot agree more.
Glad somebody mentioned it! Shows the respect he has for those that died to remember / say something like that on that stage, when it was HIS moment. Top quality that man!
Absolute class act. I’m a very proud Englishman right now. Congrats Tom and your family, thoroughly deserved
Being coincidentally born on this rock doesn't mean nout mate. This is on man's hard work. Theres nout about being from here! Well done Tom but its his win not ours.
@@Le_Petomane Especially our Current unambitious generations. Disgrace to our illustrious ancestors. How the home of an incredibly inventive, brave and conscientious culture is currently, gradually going down the toilet. The rest of the Anglosphere Is carrying those attributes now *Maybe Tom can inspire some of to reverse the trend!
@@Rowlph8888 Doubt it, put down the stella mate. Im not taking pride from someone else's acts like that. We have been stripped of education in this country and priced out of shed innovations.We were great, plucky as a nation, spurred on by our neighbours. I am still at it perennially, dont get me wrong but no thanks to England. Tom and his pa did all that themselves, aint no one helping you and . Whats worse is if you took the help you would be called out as a lay about by some. This country has been ruined. I mean to fix it in my own way, but ill give no thanks to my countrymen who have acted like crabs in a bucket. We are divided and crushed and i refuse to lick the boot. Tom all the way to the top you owe nobody. - An Englishman
Can we appreciaate how humble and brave this dude is for admitting on the big stage, after Ko'ing a guy within one round, that he was scared of him. He could have easily given it the biggen. Respect.
All fighters are Scared that's what Makes them primed. Tyson Often said he was apetrified himself, but he used the Energy, didnt admit it until Post-career. Being Vocal is "Naïve and silly", though, because Future Opponents can use this in their Mental/psychological approach and to Galvanise their own spirit and Confidence, especially against Tom - It's so Close Amongst professionals that you can't give away a small Edge like this *1 of his team Should have discussed this with him when the saw how emotional he was upon Victory - That's poor teamwork/supervision - Tom did "his" job - he needs "Some" better team members
Поздравляю Тома Аспинала и всех англичан с победой! Я конечно был за Павловича, но то, что сделал Том это фантастика! Все ждали от него борьбу, а он просто вышел и нокаутировал самого опасного бойца своей весовой категории. Действительно лучший без вопросов.
pav will bounce back hopefully he goes and smokes gane💪💪
Good one bro ...thx n ya he ll b back strong
🇺🇦
Я тоже из России и присоединяюсь к этим словам. Том достойный человек и достойный чемпион, думаю они с Сергеем еще пересекутся. 🇬🇧🇷🇺
Respect
just like Bisping, 2 weeks, 2 days, 2 seconds. Congrats young man!
The way Michael Bisping has been supporting Tom is awesome. He said some outrageous things to hype him up and he was right. He’s a good man and Tom is very skilled. He can at least give Jon a good fight.
always said it, tom would murder jones hes a natural heavyweight, with all the tools
Jones should just vacate
@@GuylikeJay If that were to happen (*officially this time, lol) that would be maybe the most monumental toppling in all of MMA history...
I don't get why people were mad at him. DC and aka guys said some outrageous things about Islam before he was champ. No one called them anything. What both aka guys and Mike saw in Tom is talent that is unusual in their respective divisions.
Tom would smokes Jones. Too big too strong too fast
He knocked out the monster that is Pavlovich in the 1st round, which is precisely what he does to all of his opponents. What a phenomenal fighter Aspinall.
He didn't do it to Curtis Blades 😂🤣🤣
@@andreasmith901you count freak injury as losses ? Damn man, I guess your birth was a freak injury
@@andreasmith901He was referring to Sergei
Tom has so much speed for a heavyweight it’s actually crazy. Top bloke too, deserves all the credit.
So happy for Tom Aspinall!! Such a humble, respectful guy, what a win. 👏👏👏👏
Knew Tom would be champ one day. Didnt think it would be tonight but im glad he got it done. Showed good reflexes and superior hand speed. Congrats to England, its been a long time coming, finally a ufc HW champ. Edit. This might as well be the real title since Jon and Stipe will retire following thier title fight against each other. Both have already said they would.
he won the interim, so he's not a champ
@@hoshangmerzanazar2317 hes the champ lmao, ur delusional if you think otherwise. jon jones vs stipe then they both retire so this is the real heavyweight belt.
@@hoshangmerzanazar2317 Clown..jones will retire before facing this guy hah
Interim not the real champ
@@hoshangmerzanazar2317he is a champ since he has a belt and is literally called the interim champion
That’s the new heavyweight champ right there. Aspinall is the real deal no doubt.
@@HellBlazerMNE07he knows, he means he will be. Considering he had practically no camp and had pulled his back going into this fight, a fresh Tom is better than this. Don't count him out.
@@HellBlazerMNE07 Try talking to people, without calling them names.
@@HellBlazerMNE07 Bro learn to read between the lines. I know he is the interim champ, didn’t have to insult me like that 😂.
@@randomdaveUK Yeah man he knocked out Pavlovich. He is still so young, such a skilled fighter, definitely see him as the new heavyweight champ soon. Lets go !!
I’m so happy for Tom. True Englishman and true role model. What a performance!!! We have a HW champion!!! 🏴👑
Lets goooo Tom! So proud of this humble role model. The unified belt is next!
He’s more of a legit champ now than Jones, there’s no reason just beating Gane should give him a belt, Sergei and Tom were the top contenders.
JON JONES SHOULD NOT BE ON THE P4P LIST. TOM KILLS JON
So proud of Tom...he's so good and how he knocked out Sergei was absolutely sensational
I was genuinely shocked to see so many people write off Tom leading up to this fight. His skillset is just ridiculous and the speed is other-worldly. I didn’t bet heavy but sound for getting me £20 Tom, that’ll cover the electric of me watching this over and over today. Respect Sergei, he seems like a genuinely great guy, this won’t put him out of the hunt. I just hope people see Tom for the true animal he is now.
Sergei supports the bloody invasion of Ukraine. He is not a great guy.
JON JONES SHOULD NOT BE ON THE P4P LIST. TOM KILLS JON
The youtube experts all had tom getting beat. Could not be happier that he won. Quality guy.
Not me...i knew tom will make a problem since his first debut in ufc, he is too agile for his weight class, have good ground skill and he have enough ko power too
@awex7 Actually Sergei was the worse stylistic match-up for Jon, sadly no, Aspinall doesn't have 5 rounds cardio or experience enough.
Man, I love the way he gave the belt to his father.
Yes sir 👑👊🔥
Tom is a great bloke,we should all strive too be like him,and most true martial artists!Massive respect.Cheers from🇺🇸
This is one of those feel good moments. So happy for Tom, he deserves it
much respect and hugs with sergei before the fight. maybe mind games? or scared?. after ko. completely forgot about his opponent. sad
How beautiful was that that he gave his belt to his dad❤❤❤❤❤❤
Yes bought a tear to my eye, two champions in my opinion ❤
I'm so proud of you, Tom!
It’s fking surreal man!!!!!! It’s got to be so hard to comprehend that last week he was on the couch, then this week standing in front of millions as the new ufc heavyweight champ!! 🤯 I’m incredibly happy for him bc he deserves it so much!!
This guy is special. His skills are on another level altogether
Very gutted for Pavlovich. This was the last obstacle before a well-deserved title fight, but this is how things will be, if you meet a guy that's simply better than you. Congrats to Tom tho!! We knew he would be a great threat from the beginning. Sergei will learn from this and come back even better!
them shots from pav early probably kos most heavyweights as well tbf
He's still not far from the top. With some improvements and a win or 2 he's right there and can still become champ some day. Still in his prime years.
PavLoviCh SweEps StiPe and JonEs
@@riseillna he will keep losing to Tom then retire
@@kja6336Tom is better then stipe and jones combined
Tom Aspinaill!!!!! Let's gooooooo!!!!! 🔥🏴
What a performance! He ate a few bombs from Sergei too that would've put most people out. That speed and agility he's got is something special. Aspinall vs Gane would be 🔥
Gane had his chance to fight Tom gifted to him on a silver platter and he turned it down 💀
Technically 1/7 landed on Aspinall…so a bomb 😂
Such a Respectful and humble guy. So glad he’s a champ now. Especially being injured before and coming back stronger than ever in his recent fights. Amazing. So happy for him and his family. The belt dedication to his dad was class
Happy to see it. He was definitely the crowd favorite as well
In new york a British vs Russia lol obviously he was
So happy for Tom, nothing but respect for Sergei too, both incredible warriors
Aspinall is just simply on a different caliber, he truly has the speed and movement of someone half his size. The ability to mix in the grappling as well is really gonna pose a problem for fighters like Stipe and Gane. He very well might become the Heavyweight GOAT, depending on how Jon Jones comes back
Tom giving the best most honest post fight speech ever. Gotta love him❤
Very proud of our New British world champion 🇬🇧 🇬🇧 🇬🇧 🇬🇧 🇬🇧
It's crazy to think he is the 1st uk born champion! Edwards i believe was born in jamaica and bisping in cyprus Well done to him 👏
🏴
He's half-Polish.
"While there is not much information available about Tom’s mother, he addressed that he is part Polish. Tom Aspinall made a video explaining the inclusion of Polish flags on his Instagram account in which he addressed his Polish origins. “I also feel Polish and I am proud,” said Aspinall. This makes Tom half-British and half-Polish."
@@charliebryant1216 So his Polish background must be kept a secret?
Tom is the champion we need, never ever going to doubt this man again
On 17 days notice too. Absolute animal and top professional. Made up for him! Proper champ 🏆 👏
I was at MSG in 2016, all the way back at UFC 205, and I remember how crazy it got in NYC, especially with all the UK Fans there. Believe me, they love MMA as much as they love Boxing, and to see Big Tom win some UFC Gold, “God Save The Queen!”. 🇬🇧 🇺🇸
King
Aspinall is a freak of nature
I knew Aspinall would stop him. Just not in the 1st. Congrats to Aspinall💪🏿
That was a cool show of respect for rememberance day from Tom, we owe everything to those people. Sweet giving his dad the belt.
Tom said he would stop him in the first. What a lad. Congrats Tom.
Lol the amount of clowning done by Pavlovich fans that he stands no chance on the feet, he'll have to hump pavs legs to stand a chance completely forgetting Aspinall is a faster, more skillful striker who has power. Absolute beast Tom Aspinall is.
You made that up
@@charliebryant1216 I just did and all I saw was respect to Tom
@@charliebryant1216 "soy" is a compliment
@@PauIdenino “soy” is NOT a compliment…they are the ones who need safe spaces.
@@PauIdenino No he isn't lol I've seen this shit myself
What an inspiration. He admitted many times that he was scared but he still went through with it
Any sane person would get nervous before stepping in there against someone intent on punching or kicking your head in. Not many admit it but I think most get that fear. He did far better than many expected on such short notice. Respect to both fighters 👍
That’s called courage
JON JONES SHOULD NOT BE ON THE P4P LIST. TOM KILLS JON
Jon Jones said he had anxiety often when he faced 1 shot Power punch Killers like Rampage but hen youre anxiety is high you are the strongest
How could you go in there against such a beast and not be scared
The shout out on Veterans Day US too! Gotta love this champ!
I lost my dad. Seeing him show his father respect like that makes me smile.
I thought Sergei had this in the bag. Nothing but respect to Aspinall, true HW champ 🏆
I knew Tom could beat Sergei I didn't think it would be so quick, Respect to Sergei great guy.
Well done Tom made it look easy.
I didn't expect Tom's punches to be so heavy, and even faster than a heavyweight.Congratulations, Tom. And respect for Sergei
Go on Tom all the hard work you and your team have put in.. awesome simply awesome
I LOVE THIS DUDE... I WAS SURPRISED WHEN PEOPLE THOUGHT HE'D LOSE, AFTER SIZING THESE 2 UP, I KNEW HE'D WIN. A KO IN ROUND 1, NOW THAT'S SAVAGE. RESERVE YOUR ENERGY FOR THE CAGE; THAT'S THE KIND OF FIGHTER HE IS. DOESN'T NEED TO DISRESPECT HIS OPPONENTS OR TRY TO ACT SCARY TO PLAY MENTAL GAMES WITH HIS OPPONENTS. LOVE IT. GUESS I HAVE TO FINISH WATCHING HIS CAREER TOO. PEOPLE, HIS WORDS WERE EXACTLY CORRECT IN HIS SPEECH. SHOW RESPECT TO WHERE YOUR FROM, YOUR ANCESTORS; NO MATTER WHERE. BECAUSE IN THE END ALL US HUMANS ARE FROM PLANET EARTH! THE DIVISION AND LAND GREED THAT STARTED IONS AGO NEEDS TO END! KILL THE GREED AND THERE'D BE NO FREAKING WARS PERIOD! SALAAM AND THANK YOU TOM ASPINALL...❤❤❤
Both did their best for sure, and definitely the best man won. WHAT A FIGHT 💚
Dont think ive ever cried for another man before.. proud of you tom 🏴
Absolutely fantastic achievement toms so honest and humble guy aswell . Well deserved ❤
“Let’s remember the people who died for us years ago none of would be here if it wasn’t for our ancestors” fuck yea we need more of this
Tom shocked the hell out of me😮 such speed damn and can take some heavy punch. He is the real deal!!
Such a good bloke. Fully deserved! I knew you had the ability! Showed a great heart and chin.
Bisping rooting so proud for Tom is absolute heartwarming ... Great Job Tom ...and congrats 💪🏻🥳
He was scared of Sergey, u could see it! It gave hin energy boost, he was unbealavable quick!
I am from Russia and of course I was rooting for Pavlovich. But Tom Aspinall is the most worthy opponent to whom Sergei could lose. Tom is a true champion and I am sure that they will cross paths again in the future.🇷🇺🇬🇧
Respect pal, too much hate between our countries when we should be brothers. From an Englishman
@@Blaze-ko3ts Hatred between politicians, but not between people
Knowing Andy and tom from years ago this is very well deserved and heart warming to see. Well done tom lad the hard works paid off
Somebody said pavlovich came out with that Epic badass music just to get sleept 😂
Победа достойная, Том заслужил. Серёгу жалко, но справедливо проиграл. Как по мне, его прошлые победы сыграли злую шутку, он был ослеплен этим успехом, этой лёгкостью побеждать, поэтому был слишком уверен в себе. Вернётся сильнее обязательно! Поздравляю Тома!
Man he would fuck Jones up sooo badly it's not even funny... Big, fast, agile, technical, well rounded, and young. He is the true HW champ
Just the grappling we’re unsure because Jon is so knowledgeable, but aspinall would likely win
@@lethweiblackbelt Agreed
A great performance and a great interview. I'm happy for him
I am a Pav fan from Russia, but Tom is a huge fighter with insane skills and a great dude! A deserved win, congrats
Ladies and gentlemen, the most dangerous man on planet earth
Aspinall is something special fr 🔥🔥🔥
Just to see the emotion on toms face! Such a likeable n humble guy but also an absolute killer in octogan well deserved
I am afraid for Tom too before the fight. He even acknowledged himself that Pavlovich is one scary dude. What a skillful and classy man definitely role model.
YES TOM No one is more worthy of that belt.. Congrats
Theyre getting these up quick! Usually takes an hour or two. And they're also putting up highlight videos. Francis putting pressure on them
Pav is a beast….but… YES TOM!! He’s gonna reign for a long time!! 🏴🇬🇧🏴🇬🇧
Grats to Aspinall! Perfectly landed punches to clinch a great win!
Never even doubted Tom what so ever and can’t believe so many people did. This guy is elite, his hands are rapid , his footwork is rapid, he can clinch and wrestle and his ju jitsu is crazy . He would smoke Jon Jones.
This guy is just OP in every field. Fast and smooth as Gane, powerful as Ngannou and Pavlovich himself and can grapple like Cormier and Werdum. And he's just 30 years old! Aspinall is the freakiest MMA fighter that I can remember. I'll be really surprised if Jones put his match against Stipe aside for to take Aspinall. The English can beat Jones at ease I'd dare to say.
Jones would do aspinall but if tom can land a good one its lights out for anybody.
Yeah and he may beat stipe title defence record if he beats gane and almeida too
Man I'm so happy for him. What a guy.
what a lovely fella! proud to have a champ like this from the UK!
UK stand up. This guy is a killer
COME ON ENGLAND❤️, BRITISH FIGHTERS ARE THE BEST❤️
Tom Aspinall is a great man and athlete. So happy for him!!
Tom is so humble. You can tell how much he respected his opponent
Мне было жаль Павловича, но я также рад, что Том выиграл пояс, заслуженный для Аспиналла.
That man is Champ material 🧐
Tom is a freak heavyweight. Power and speed is a lethal combination, hits like a truck while moving like a welterweight 🇬🇧
What a legendary moment. History.
I was not expecting aspinall to win this.
This was awesome
FOR UKRAINE
Known this guy from Kaobon for about 12 years now. Remember watching his fight at FCC when he was about 19 destroying grown men. Such a humble guy and great fighter. Congrats Tom, Andy and Colin!!!
Well done champ. Seems such a humble dude too. 👏🏻❤️
Emotional moment and incredible victory ❤️
Genuinely always knew this was gonna happen eventually the first time I saw his style, his boxing is WAY too clean. If Jones still literally thinks Stipe is more of a legacy fight than Tom (even if we haven't seen his takedown defense), he's dead wrong. Aspinall would actually cause Jones problems and you can't deny it.
Joke
Bro jones would be almost 40 when he fights him, this dude has nothing to prove anymore
@@HamzaKurtovic-xg3vethat’s fine but he has to fight Tom or vacate. Can’t fight stipe and act like he’s the champ when Tom is there.
Jones retires after seeing this😂
What a stunning performance from Aspinall.. His movement for such a big man is very impressive….
Buzzing for Tom. Lives just up road from me. Congrats pal
Hows Jon do against Tom? Shit man I don't think Jon can get past that man!?
For the last 15 years, every other guy has been the next guy to defeat the GOAT😂 before this fight. it was Sergie😂😂😂
@berserkerjoker5629 Jones is will retire because he's scared to fight Tom 100%
Jones is the goat but I don’t think he wants any of Aspinal I’ll be impressed if he fights him
@@SamJS1317sergei would kill Jones too.Aspinall would take Jones life 🎉
Tom beats Jon. Change my mind!
The way Tom went flat out on the ground in the end out of disbelief 😆😄
congrats Tom, i cant believe how easy you made it look. thats a great win
Incredible power, speed, technique by Aspinall truly a unique heavyweight of our time, jon jones by standing guillotine
