Tom Aspinall has been turning heads in the UFC. With his lightning-fast hands and devastating power, Aspinall’s been knocking out opponents left and right. He’s even snagged the interim heavyweight title. You’d think a guy like that would be brimming with confidence, right?
Well, hold onto your hats, folks. In a recent interview, Aspinall was asked about an unusual matchup. Could he take on both Aleksandre and Ilia Topuria at the same time? His answer might surprise fans.
“They would absolutely smoke me,” said Aspinall via Jon Bernard Kairouz.
But here’s where it gets interesting. Aspinall’s not just throwing in the towel. He’s actually thought this through. He even asked if these hypothetical featherweights could fight. That’s some next-level strategic thinking right there. When asked if he could take on the Kairouz Brothers (the interviewers), he confidently declared he’d knock them both out.
Eddie Hall recently won both of his opponents in a 1v2 fight. However, he weighed almost double their combined weight. If Aspinall were to do this, he would have to rely on his KO power because the Topuria brothers are fast, trained, and pack a punch as well.
