One of the loudest voices in MMA Chael Sonnen has loaned his considerable talking abilities to Tom Aspinall, according to him. The “American Gangster” recently explained on his YouTube channel that he thought Aspinall received too little acclaim and offered to help him get more.
Tom Aspinall fights Curtis Blaydes next at the highly anticipated UFC London event in July. Chael Sonnen has assumed promotional abilities for the Heavyweight contender it would seem.
“I really am going to handle the media going for this fight.”
“We’re just going to see what happens. If the audience enjoys it, then we will go from there. Tom fights and trains very well but I wanted to give him the attention he deserves.”
“When I see a guy like Tom that’s 12-2 that now only fought a former world champion, he also stopped him, he needs to be getting attention for that”
“I’ll remind you of that main event, it was completely sold out with Tom at the top of the bill.”
“Tom gets the credit for that, I don’t know that Tom always goes out and demands that credit though,”
Continuing his thoughts, Sonnen said :
“I think that Tom is one fight away from being in a world championship spot and not for nothing, they’ve dealt him from the bottom of the deck.”
Few can doubt Sonnen’s media prowess or Aspinall’s skills, so could this be a perfect match?
