In a recent interview, Eddie Hall recounted his sparring session with Tom Aspinall. Hall admitted to being thoroughly impressed and humbled by Aspinall`s abilities.

The highly anticipated matchup in the UFC heavyweight division is between champion Jon Jones and interim champion Tom Aspinall. Many fans are eager to see this unification bout.
Eddie Hall believes Aspinall has what it takes to defeat Jon Jones. “Jon Jones is a formidable champion, but there`s a reason why this fight hasn`t happened yet,” Hall suggested. “If Jones was confident in his chances, he would have already taken the fight. I believe Tom Aspinall will win.”
