Tom Aspinall is humble enough to admit that Daniel Cormier would have likely beaten him in his prime.
Aspinall (15-3) was quick to name Cormier (22-3) when asked about a Ultimate Fighting Championship fighter who could beat him. The heavyweight champ considers prime “DC” a stylistic nightmare. According to Aspinall, Cormier’s short height and feared forward pressure would be difficult to deal with. Aspinall also noted that the former Olympian was nearly impossible to takedown and possessed an insane gas tank.
“Yeah, you know, Daniel Cormier. Peak DC has the worst style for me ever,” Aspinall said on the ShxtsnGigs podcast.
