‘Bad look’… Tom Aspinall accused of being ‘whiny’ about eye poke by UFC legend

[Lou Duva]

Guy wanted out of the fight

 

[BEATDOWNS]

Lol B League Ben knows a lot about whining.

 

[RichardHarrow]

You guys complain about him whining but you are the very same posters who probably shi* post 10 threads about him everyday since. It’s no wonder he’s had to be come continuously defensive.

Yeah but that's how the internet or life is

Take it from me, defending yourself doesn't do anything good, just makes you look bad, whiny, insecure.

Its best to just be unreactive and keep it pushing. Thats how a man handles criticism.

But its his first time ever dealing with that kind of backlash, its a hard lesson that a lot of public figures have to learn sometimes.

Well, Idk that Ben isn't a moron.

I've been on the guy's side since the illness. BUT - dude is now on social media talking about the horrors of socialism, while accepting go fund me's and other donations for his treatment.

I'm not even trying to get into the politics of it all, but IMO at the very least that's some "read the room" kinda shit. He's crossed quite a few of those that donated with that crap the last few weeks.

let me clarify it for u accepting donations.... and forced.. taking of your money ( socialism ) are 2 diff things totally. one done by choice.... other isn't ) so there no Oxymoron there.. in one people choose to give... other is forced...

You need to take a couple of eyepokes, then you'd whine like a bizatch, FAKE tough guy.

i would take an eyepoke for 5 million
fkcn easy lmfao

Everyone criticized him because they “heard nothing”, then he comes out with updates and he’s “whiney”. Damned if you do, damned if you don’t.

This.

Spoiler: Timeline

The guy got poked, clearly in both eyes, and people were complaining he grabbed only one eye ... while others claimed he grabbed the wrong eye.

Then ... They called him a quitter, and he was faking. Despite the replay being disgusting.

A day later people started bitching about avoiding the rematch. There was no rematch booked. It was wild.

Then... It was "fans" continuing the narrative saying his orbital was broken from the domination Cyril put on. It was one round, stopped by a disgusting double eye poke.
Crazy had taken over.

After that ... It was anytime the guy has eyes.
Suddenly because his eyes are still in his skull, he is a faker. A photo with Tom having eyes, immediate backlash. Not even the fun humor, just thread after thread from the same two people on this site. Blaming TomFanBoys.

Finally the guy responds ... And Askren, who just suffered his own health issues, calls the response whiney.
Askren shut the fuck up. Honestly.
You use your second chance to turn right back into the clown you were beforehand.

I am not even a Tom fan.
I appreciated his situation.
Anyone who doubts Tom...
Let someone else poke you in the eyes.

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

Maybe another hourlong documentary with sad music will set everyone straight

 

[Captain Herb]

I once got shot in the eye with a slingshot and was blind for a week when I was twelve. Operation and all that jazz.

You sad imp.

I bet you quit and ran home to your mom

Ben Askren is a UFC legend?

Communism is compulsory. Donating to a Go Fund Me campaign is voluntary. Bad take.

Where was the word Communism used?

Ohhh, that's right. Carry on.

I'm also speaking directly about Ben, who didn't volunteer for shit, he just accepted others taking care of him, and that saved his life.

Again, I'm not even getting into the politics, just think he prob should've read the room. Far from the only one saying that too, he got pretty skewered... this is weeks old though, so that's the last I'm saying on it either way.

 

[PaulieVegas27]

I don't think he's whiny but I do think the constant talking about it and showing doctors reports, and videos made him look bad.

Totally agree. Seems like he's trying way way way too hard to prove his innocence, which is not a good look.

 

[geardo]

Ben Askren is a UFC legend?

In the sense that he was legendarily ktfo he is

 

[Tweak896]

Part of it is the constant MMA community hysteria surrounding his eye poke. No matter what you're going to have everyone focusing on it and asking him questions about it.

He really has no choice but to be whiny. His next media circuit for the rematch will only be that basically.

He just needs to fight and win and everyone moves on. The longer he's out, the more this shit will be discussed.

 

[JR478]

I think he's just fine with the way he's acting. Doesn't bother me one bit. But I think a little different than most people. I think he should whine as much as he wants, while simultaneously working towards getting back in there and fucking people up. Do both. Prove his doubters wrong and cuckold his enemies with great fury.

 

[bjjwar]

The media,Dana and fans almost forced him into having to explain himself all the time.

Anyone with half of a brain would have said after the fight that Gane is a cheater and after seeing the crazy double poke that it should have been an immediate dq win for Tom and wished him a good recovery.

But somehow everyone sh** on him, praisimg Gane for the foul and saying his eyes were fine and he quit. Of course he had/has to defend himself now and probably till the rematch happens since people keep saying the same sh**.

Tom gets a bloody nose, a broken orbital, and a broken spirit in the first round.

"let's give him the W"

lol

Ben took the most CTE at one time we've ever seen then almost died. I don't think his opinions carry much weight, his brain is pudding. Thanks for your take tho, Ben Ass Cream.

Well he's not cleared to train so there is that little issue.
