Video – UFC interim champ Tom Aspinall does the ‘Dead Leg Challenge’ with Olympic gymnast Nile Wilson

Interim UFC heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall gave British gymnast Nile Wilson a small taste of his power.

“I’m going to kick Nile Wilson in the leg, about 30% I reckon,” Aspinall said in a clip shared on his YouTube channel.

The Salford, England native tested the Olympic medalist first, throwing a feint to see whether or not Wilson would flinch. “He took my advice,” Aspinall said as Wilson held his position and braced for the worst. It was then that Aspinall uncorked a kick that immediately took Wilson off his feet.
