Tom Aspinall is undeniably talented in all realms of mixed martial arts, but there’s still a quality he’d love to take from another UFC world champion.
The gifted competitor has proven his skills beyond doubt, mesmerizing fans with his lightning hands and sublime Brazilian jiu-jitsu game.
Tom Aspinall wants to take a trait from Merab Dvalishvili
Tom Aspinall is, without a doubt, one of the scariest fighters in the history of the UFC.
While a gentleman outside of the cage, once locked inside the octagon, the Brit becomes an animal, capable of rendering any man he touches unconscious with his devastating power.
With dynamite so explosive, he’s destroyed a plethora of top-level competitors, most recently taking out Curtis Blaydes in the very first round.
In fact, his performances have been so vicious that some members of the MMA community have accused Jon Jones of avoiding him.

However, while possessing all the requisite skills to scale the UFC mountain, no fighter is the perfect package.
While considerably bigger than bantamweight King, Merab Dvalishvili, Aspinall admits that there’s a trait he’d love to take from the Georgian.
In a video uploaded to his YouTube channel, the 31-year-old said: “I’ll take Merab’s gas tank. I think it’s physically impossible at heavyweight, but if I could take that, I’d have that one.”
Chael Sonnen fires back at fans, saying Jon Jones is ‘shying away’ from Tom Aspinall
While many are accusing ‘Bones’ of ducking Aspinall, a UFC legend is not convinced that this is the case.
At UFC 309 in Madison Square Garden, New York, USA, Jones will put his title on the line against Stipe Miocic.
And while his opponent is great, many believe the heavyweight champion is merely fighting the Cleveland native to escape going toe-to-toe with Aspinall.
However, Chael Sonnen completely disagrees, explaining that he believes a fight with Jones and the Brit, is still very much on the cards.
