UFC interim heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall is known for the immense power of his strikes. This is evident in his record, as most of his wins came via knockouts. However, Aspinall recently drew attention from the fans after a video clip showed him pressing weight equivalent to a flyweight in each hand during a workout session.

Tom Aspinall has been on a run of a lifetime in the UFC. Having lost only one fight in Dana White‘s promotion, the British fighter has amassed a record of seven wins and one loss and even captured UFC gold in just three years since he joined the promotion. Having showcased what he could do inside the Octagon, Aspinall recently showed what he’s capable of doing in the gym.

The 30-year-old Manchester native caught up with former strongman ‘The Beast’ Eddie Hall and Glory Kickboxing heavyweight champion Rico Verhoeven recently. During the collaborative workout session, all three heavyweights took time to spar against each other, joking around a punch machine and lifting weights.
