Tom Aspinall insists he isn't a "WWE entertainer" after criticism for humble approach

UFC star Tom Aspinall has fired back at Chael Sonnen for criticising his lack of trash-talk, insisting that he doesn't need to act like a "clown" for money.

Aspinall is one of the UFC's brightest talents and finds himself ranked at No.6 in the heavyweight division after just five fights in the promotion. The Atherton-based fighter lets his fighting do the talking and refuses to bad-mouth any of his fellow fighters in the promotion.

His humble approach to fighting has been criticised by MMA analyst and commentator Chael Sonnen, who was notorious for trash-talking during his UFC career. Aspinall replied to Sonnen's comments by stating that he is more than happy staying true to himself.
