Glory heavyweight champion Rico Verhoeven talked about training together with interim UFC heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall.
"It's awesome. I've been working with Tom for a few years now. We really train a lot and it's just fun because Tom is an amazing guy who is deeply committed to his craft. Even though we're sparring and trying to perfect technique - it's fun for us. I love training with him. Tom's evolution over the last few years, is amazing. I see so many similarities between us because we never take the easy way out and we keep working, keep trying to progress. Tom is like a sponge. He tries to get as much information from me as he can. He just likes to get better. We finish a workout and I give him some tips on hitting technique. And the next day he comes back and says, "I worked on this and this." His approach to training and MMA is another level," MMA Fighting quoted Verhoeven as saying.
