Fight history

Tom Aspinall Bio

Tom Aspinall is an English mixed martial artist from Salford who competes in the UFC heavyweight division. As of September 11, 2026, UFC lists him as active and its heavyweight title holder. He trains at Team Kaobon, stands 6 feet 5 inches tall, and made his Octagon debut on March 21, 2020. Aspinall began training seriously in his early teens after being introduced to combat sports by his father, and he holds a Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt.

Aspinall won the interim UFC heavyweight championship by stopping Sergei Pavlovich at UFC 295 in November 2023, then retained that interim title against Curtis Blaydes at UFC 304 in July 2024. He became undisputed UFC heavyweight champion in June 2025 following Jon Jones’ retirement. His October 2025 championship bout with Ciryl Gane ended as a no-contest after an accidental eye poke, with Aspinall retaining the belt. A heavyweight known for unusually mobile, composed striking, he pairs boxing with a credible submission game and has described the armbar as his preferred grappling technique.
