Tom Aspinall rules the UFC heavyweight division, holding an 8-1 record inside the cage with nearly all his victories coming by knockout. He defended his interim title with a quick first-round knockout against Curtis Blaydes at UFC 304. Up next, the British powerhouse is scheduled to defend his belt against Ciryl Gane at UFC 321 on October 25 at the Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi.Tom Aspinall And His Wife Justyna Aspinall Keep Life PrivateBehind the devastating power he shows in the Octagon, Aspinall prefers to keep his personal life away from public view. He is married to Justyna Aspinall, who comes from a Polish background, and the couple shares three children together—two sons and a daughter.That private world leaked into the public eye in a funny way back in 2023, right after Aspinall knocked out Sergei Pavlovich at UFC 295 to win the interim belt. When speaking to reporters after the fight, he admitted with a laugh that his wife had no idea he had just won because she missed a call from his dad right after the match."Not yet, my dad tried to call her but she didn't pick up. So I don't think she knows yet, I'm not sure."Tom Aspinall Speaks Openly About Raising A Son With AutismOutside of fighting, Aspinall has used his platform to share his personal journey as a father. During a 2023 interview with the BBC, he opened up about finding out that one of his sons is autistic. He admitted that learning about the diagnosis shifted how he views the world, helping him realize that his son simply processes life differently rather than having something wrong with him."I didn't want there to be something wrong with my son. But when you start to learn about autism, you learn there's not something wrong with them. It's just a different way that their brains work. We'd say his name and he would not look at you or make eye contact. If you told him off, he kind of wouldn't respond. I always was like: 'He'll catch up. He's just not as socialised as usual because of the lockdown.'"Get the latest Sports News and Live updates. Download the TOI app.
