Every fighter has that one matchup they dread deep down inside. You know, the kind that keeps them up at night thinking about all the ways it could go wrong. Even the most dominant champions have styles that just don’t match up well with their own game. Tom Aspinall might be the scariest heavyweight on the planet right now, but even he admits there’s one fighter who would’ve been his kryptonite!<\/p>

The Manchester native has been absolutely terrorizing the heavyweight division with frightening efficiency. His average fight time sits at just 2 minutes and 2 seconds. He’s never even seen the third round in his entire MMA career. But during a recent podcast appearance, Tom Aspinall admitted he would never have beaten one particular fighter in his prime, calling him the worst style matchup possible.<\/p>

Tom Aspinall Names His Ultimate Nightmare<\/h2>

On the ShxtsnGigs podcast,<\/strong> Aspinall didn’t hesitate when asked about fighters who would give him serious problems. He immediately pointed to Daniel Cormier’s heavyweight version as his stylistic nightmare. The current heavyweight champion explained exactly why prime DC would’ve caused him endless headaches inside the Octagon. According to Aspinall, Cormier’s combination of relentless forward pressure, seamless transitions between striking and wrestling, and seemingly unlimited cardio created the perfect storm.<\/p>

“Yeah, you know, Daniel Cormier. Peak DC has the worst style for me ever. He’s like short guy who just keeps walking forward, changes levels in between grappling and punches. You can’t take him down, and he’s got cardio for days. For my style, he’s a nightmare.”<\/em><\/strong><\/p>
