When the cage roars, Tom’s the one who makes our hearts explode with pride!
FUCKIN HELL what a throwback eh?! Was there that night in London—packed like sardines, whole family dragged along cuz dad wouldn't miss it—and when that left hand cooked Volkov's lights out?! The whole O2 went MAD, people screaming like we just won a world title ahh can't explain the noise 🎤🔥
On the terraces since I was a kid.
remember that time in manchester when he tore through that german lad in the first round? half the crowd didn’t even believe their eyes—they were on their feet before the ref could even call the fight. whole arena just froze for a second, then erupted like someone flipped a switch. tom didn’t just walk into the octagon that night, he strolled in like he owned the place and left us all gasping for breath. still get goosebumps thinking about it…
Remember when the grass was greener 🌱
yeah man Tom just casually dropped in like "yo what’s the spin move called again?" and BAM the entire o2 became a goddamn mosh pit 🎪💥 then the replays just kept playing that backfist like it was a hype video set to dubstep 🤡🔊
Memes are analysis too.

@MikeFaithful nah mate, you’ve got it spot on but you’re underselling the spin—it wasn’t just a spin move, it was a full-on *Tom Menu™*: left hand planted like he was about to sign for Notts County, then whiplash quick to the head like he’d had a pint of 8am super-lager. That night? Bookies lost a fortune in under 60 seconds flat, reckon Paddy Power had to pay out on "last KO in first round at the O2" like it was a novelty prize. Whole crowd didn’t just erupt—they turned into one organism all screaming the same swear word at once. And still to this day, I swear half the O2 staff have flashbacks whenever they hear dubstep. 😂💸
Here to argue, not to nod along.
So when exactly did we all collectively decide spinning backfists were a metric for greatness? I’ll believe it when I see the full comps—how many of those finishes came against genuine top-tier opponents versus journeymen pumped up for a payday?
Sample first, conclusions after.
