One week on from his heavyweight title win and Tom Aspinall has been criticised after a crude interview where he asked a female reporter if she had 'been fingered by an MMA fighter'.
The British heavyweight recently starred against Sergei Pavlovich to claim the interim title and become only the third Englishman ever to be crowned a UFC champion.
However, a recent interview with Nina Marie Daniele - who goes by Nina Drama - has been poorly received after Aspinall joked with the former Playboy star about performing a sexual act.
It isn't obvious whether the pair pre-planned the outrageous questioning, but the interview made for uncomfortable viewing as Aspinall made an x-rated suggestion that appeared to take his female counterpart by surprise.
Aspinall momentarily took control of the interview and confidently went about his questioning, stating: 'I've got a question for you. Have you ever been fingered by an MMA fighter before?

Nina looks confused as she responds: 'Fingered? No', with Aspinall then doubling down on his original statement saying: 'Yeh fingered'.
The grim questioning then gets even worse with the UFC superstar continuing his bizarre dialogue, asking: 'What would it take?' to which Nina answers 'to finger me? Are we talking about the same thing?'
He states 'yeh' before the pair break out into laughter and the short snippet of footage ends.
However, Nina's brash style of interviewing initially started on a sexual tone where she asked Aspinall whether he was participating in a stay of abstinence throughout November.

The interviewer is renowned for her unconventional style where she asks athletes awkward questions that they likely haven't been asked elsewhere before.
Aspinall and Nina appeared comfortable with each other during the interview up until the UFC star began his crude line of questioning that was difficult to watch and poorly received.
The 30-year-old combat star is married to Justynagro Aspinall and has three kids with his other half.
Meanwhile, Nina is in a long-term relationship with renowned creative director Jhanelle Castillo.
