Tom Aspinall

Here he is.

Well, I'm actually one of the rare UFC fighters that I'm aware of that will sit here and look you in the eyes and talk about fear because a lot of UFC fighters like to pretend they're not scared.

Now, I have been... I basically spent my life in gyms and backstage at events and in these changing rooms and, listen...

I'm yet to see a person who isn't scared.

But it's very rare that you'll get a UFC fighter who will talk about fear.

Because it's a taboo subject.

People want to be this big alpha guy, don't they, who's like, I'm getting there, having a fight in a cage with somebody.

Listen, if you're not scared then, you're either a complete idiot or you're lying.

We'll be right back after a quick word from our partners.
