Okay, so I got curious about Tom Aspinall the other day. You know how it is, you watch a fight or see an interview, and then you start wondering about the fighter’s stats. For me, it was his height. He looks like a big dude, obviously, being a heavyweight, but I wanted to know the actual number.
First thing I did was just grab my phone. Went straight to the search bar, typed in something simple like “Tom Aspinall height”. You get a bunch of results right away, of course. Saw a few different numbers pop up immediately in those little preview boxes.
Digging a Bit Deeper
Some sites said one thing, some another. It wasn’t wildly different, but you know, like an inch here or there. I saw 6 foot 5 inches mentioned a lot, but sometimes 6 foot 6 inches came up too. It gets a bit annoying when you just want a straight answer.
So, I decided to check more specific places. I figured the official sources would be best. I tried looking for:
- The official UFC website fighter profile page. Usually, they list stats there.
- Major MMA news sites. Sometimes they have detailed fighter bios.
- His official social media maybe? Though honestly, guys don’t usually list their height in their bio there.
- Wikipedia, yeah, I looked there too. Usually has a table with basic info.
Spent a bit of time clicking around those kinds of places. Most of the more reliable spots seemed to converge on one number more consistently than others. The UFC site is generally pretty good for tale-of-the-tape type stuff.
Settling on the Number
After going through a few different sources, the figure that kept appearing most reliably was 6 feet 5 inches. That’s about 196 cm for folks who use metric. Seeing him stand next to other heavyweights, that seemed about right in my head too. Some guys look taller or shorter than listed, but 6’5″ felt believable for Aspinall based on what I’ve seen.
So yeah, that’s the process. Started with a simple search, saw some mixed results, then tried to narrow it down by looking at the more official or reputable MMA sites. Landed on 6’5″. Took a few minutes, but got the info I was after.
