UFC interim heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall is using a unique training method ahead of his UFC 304 fight against Curtis Blaydes.
Aspinall is set to defend his interim title in the co-main event of UFC 304, and in the lead-up to the fight, the Brit says he is dipping his hands in petrol to help strengthen his knuckles, which he says is part of his gypsy heritage.
“You ever see the documentary Knuckle? You familiar with that? It’s a documentary about travelers, traveling communities in the UK island. And there’s a guy on there, big Joe Joyce, an old traveling legend, and big Joe Joyce reveals a few gypsy methods for getting ready for a fight,” Tom Aspinall said Monday on The MMA Hour.
