The famed UFC heavyweight Tom Aspinall has put on displays of his well-rounded fighting skills multiple times. A lot of fans may agree that the UK native packs formidable striking skills combined with a high-level ground game. How he finished off his UFC Fight Night 204 rival, Alexander Volkov stands as an example of his superior ground game. But Aspinall turned into an all-out striker to defeat Marcin Tybura in his last fight at UFC Fight Night 224.

Looking at the Brit’s awesome prowess, it’s quite apparent that he trains pretty efficiently and has an aptly skilled team helping him. But he’s not associated with any of the noted USA-based training facilities, like American Top Team or American Kickboxing Academy. This may be the reason why a lot of fans are completely unaware of where and with whom Aspinall trains. So, while the UK native is grinding hard for his upcoming UFC 295 bout against Sergei Pavlovich, let’s learn a bit more about his training team and the facility where he trains.

Tom Aspinall didn’t leave his motherland for training even after his UFC entry

Fighters generally don’t join famous training facilities like the ATT or AKA right from the beginning of their careers. But most of the time, the class of their rivals keeps getting better as they continue climbing the ladders of success in their careers. Hence, fighters often feel the need for better training facilities and teams in such situations. This is when most of them tend to join well-reputed training facilities.

But there are several fighters, like the noted UFC icon Conor McGregor, who have trained mostly out of a single facility throughout the entirety of their careers. McGregor started training under John Kavanagh at Dublin’s Straight Blast Gym at a pretty young age. Almost every UFC fan knows that he’s still pretty much in association with Kavanagh and SBG to date. Aspinall is pretty similar to the UFC star from his neighboring country in this respect.

‘ChronicleLive’ reports that the 30-year-old usually trains out of ‘Team Kaobon’ which is a martial arts training facility in Liverpool, England. It also reveals that Colin Heron is the name of Aspinall’s head coach. It is the same facility where former UFC star Darren Till used to train.

However, like several other fighters, Aspinall has also trained in different facilities for his specific training camps before his fights.

Which other training facilities has Tom Aspinall trained at?

Aspinall had a brief period of training at the famous Warrington-based facility, ‘Cross-Fit Gym’ a few months ago. The head coach of the facility, Phil Shedden, revealed that he and Aspinall’s father had common friends, which led Aspinall to train in his facility in August this year.

A report in July also revealed that he had trained in a Seaham-based training facility named ‘Team Fish Tank’ before his fight against Marcin Tybura. Currently, he is putting a lot of effort into training since his upcoming fight is just a week away. But a lot of fans and MMA pundits might say that he needs to put more effort into the grappling-related parts of his training. 

Aspinall’s superb ground game might be the big advantage that he possesses over his rival, Pavlovich. The Russian’s loss against the reputed UFC heavyweight, Alistair Overeem, showcased his inability on the ground. Aspinall will have a great chance of winning if he chooses to go down the same track as well. Do you think he will be able to get the better of his fearsome striker rival, Pavlovich, at UFC 295 on November 11?
