Muhammad Mokaev believes Tom Aspinall’s father, Andy Aspinall, can hold his own against ranked UFC fighters.
As two elite MMA fighters hailing from the same region, Mokaev and Aspinall go back a long way. Mokaev was training in Wigan when he first met Aspinall and his father Andy, who were coaching at a different gym. Mokaev revealed that “Honey Badger” was working security at a pub then and would give him a ride home after practice for several years.
Mokaev also had high praise for Aspinall’s father, who quit his job when Tom was 12 years old to teach him Brazilian jiu-jitsu. According to Mokaev, Andy can compete against ranked UFC fighters right now, as his BJJ style will translate well into MMA. “Tom is good. His dad is like amazing guy. I think he can go in the UFC and compete against the Top 15 right now,” Mokaev said. “I think he has really good pressure. Like, jiu-jitsu guys, in UK they have different styles. But Andy has actually suited for MMA. Like control, pressure, I like his style.”Virna Jandiroba Explains Meaning Behind Signature Hat, NicknameTabatha Ricci vs. Angela Hill Set for UFC Fight Night on Aug.
