Tom Aspinall gave a group of influencers exactly what they asked for.
In the latest “Dead Leg Challenge” posted to YouTube by the UFC heavyweight champion, Aspinall squared off with Zerkaa and Behzinga
from the Sidemen along with their fellow influencers Stephen Tries and Jack Joseph. All four took their turn letting Aspinall smack them with a leg kick, leading to hilarious (and predictable) results.

The Sidemen were first up and neither dared to go beyond the 30 percent threshold of Aspinall’s power. However, Tries and Joseph chose to be bolder, asking Aspinall to put 60 percent into the leg strikes, one of which sent Joseph falling to the mat.
“Do 100,” Joseph said jokingly before lying down. “Oh yeah, that really hurts after. It’s got a kick to it.”
Still, Tries and Joseph came back for a second helping, telling Aspinall to crank it up to 65 percent. Both men survived the leg kicks, putting them at the top of Aspinall’s Dead Leg Challenge influencer leaderboard.
“I feel bad,” Aspinall said afterward. “He was only a little fella.”
Aspinall has a considerably bigger fella to worry about on Oct. 25 when he defends his heavyweight title against Ciryl Gane in the main event of UFC 321 in Abu Dhabi.
