The reinvention of Tom Aspinall: ‘It was important to get away from MMA’

UFC heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall has launched a new podcast called The Inner Game, in which he interviews a range of guests outside the world of MMA, including documentary maker Louis Theroux and rapper Aitch. Aspinall spoke to The Independent's Alex Pattle about the project, describing it as an important personal step to broaden his horizons beyond mixed martial arts. The podcast represents a deliberate effort by Aspinall to explore interests and conversations away from his fighting career.
