BREAKING NEWS: Tom Aspinall LOSES CONTROL During UFC 320 Camp with Paddy Pimblett!
At 10:40 PM +07 on Monday, June 23, 2025, an explosive incident has rocked the UFC 320 training camp, as interim heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall reportedly lost his composure during a sparring session with lightweight contender Paddy Pimblett. Exclusive footage obtained by our sources reveals a heated exchange that nearly derailed preparations for the upcoming event on July 12, 2025, at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
The drama unfolded during a filmed training session intended to showcase the fighters’ chemistry ahead of UFC 320, where Aspinall is set to defend his interim title against an opponent yet to be confirmed following Jon Jones’s recent retirement announcement. According to insiders, the session took a chaotic turn when Pimblett, known for his grappling prowess, locked Aspinall in a tight guillotine choke. Aspinall, visibly struggling, broke free but erupted in frustration, shouting, “That choke almost finished me!” before storming out of the gym, leaving the crew stunned.
Pimblett, with a 22-3 record and 11 submissions, later downplayed the incident, saying, “It was just a hard roll—Tom’s a beast, he’ll be fine.” However, sources claim the outburst stemmed from Aspinall’s irritation at being caught off-guard, especially with cameras rolling. The 31-year-old Brit, riding a six-fight win streak including a first-round KO of Curtis Blaydes, is under pressure to solidify his claim as the division’s top contender.
The footage, leaked to X, has sparked a frenzy, with fans reacting to the rare glimpse of Aspinall’s temper. One user posted, “Aspinall losing it to Paddy? That’s wild!” while another wrote, “Pimblett’s choke game is no joke—Tom better watch out!” UFC officials have yet to comment, but the incident has raised questions about camp dynamics as Aspinall prepares for a potential unification bout.
Aspinall’s camp issued a brief statement: “Tom is focused and ready for UFC 320. Sparring mishaps happen.” Meanwhile, Pimblett’s lighthearted response on social media, “Choked the champ, who’s next?” has only fueled the narrative. With the event just weeks away, this exclusive leak has turned the spotlight on whether Aspinall can regain control—both in the gym and in the octagon.
