Tom Aspinall comments on Justin Gaethje

The English fighter commented on ‘The Highlight’ ahead of UFC 286. The reporter asked Aspinall what he thinks about the UFC lightweight. He also inquired about whether he thought the 34-year-old was the most exciting fighter in the UFC.

Aspinall said, “I’m really excited about this fight… I would definitely agree with that statement. He’s definitely the most exciting fighter in the UFC. I will tune in to every single one of his fights. I think he is unbelievable to watch.”

Additionally, the Manchester-based fighter also commented on the technical skills that ‘Highlight’ has. The 29-year-old added, “From a technical standpoint. His technique is definitely there. A lot of the times he chooses not to use it for some reason. He must be a coach’s nightmare because he goes full brawl mode, which is awesome for us fans. I’ll tune in to every one of his fights. I’m a massive fan of his but yeah the technique sometimes goes out of the window, which is great to watch and I’m mega excited to watch his fight tonight”.
