Media “Tom Aspinall’s standup is on another level than I’ve seen on any MMA-fighter“ ~ Rico Verhoeven

[Poirierfan]

Yeah but Sergei had a full camp

Have faith my friend. From the looks of it Aspinall has been training pretty damn hard.

I don't understand how anyone can think this, the fight essentially never really got started.

I think both things can be true, that fight had PLENTY of time to change course, but he was definitely eating shots early and often.

Curtis has to be one of the most frustrated top ranked fighters. He has the skills, the size, the work ethic, and the confidence to be not only a champion but perhaps a long term one. Unfortunately his chin has failed him on numerous occasions, and the coin just hasn't landed in his favor. Reminds me a bit of Michael bisping in his prime, good enough to get to the dance, but not good enough to get over the hump

Curtis Blaydes pieced him up in standup.

Curtis It's the Best Grappler of His Category no Doubt, Offensive Striking good for a Elite Wrestler, TDD scary He have speed and power the only problem it's his defense if he evolve his Striking Defense he will became a World Champion.

How dare you, Aspinall is the much better fighter imo, he wins more often than not.

the wolf howls in the blue corn moon. the tickets dispenser, dispensing. while the short notice sun, looms in the depths.

I think Sergei will win but want Aspinall to win. I just hope for a competitive war!

Oh hey DMF, how you doin?

Aspinall was getting styled on by blaydes before the injury.

Curtis Blaydes pieced him up in standup.

Where exactly does this weird and clearly bullshit narrative come from?

I think both things can be true, that fight had PLENTY of time to change course, but he was definitely eating shots early and often.

He VERY clearly wasn't.

I feel like no one actually watched it, they just felt it, or just read the bullshit of someone else who felt it

Who personally attacked you? Dig this hole so you look stupider when the joke is explained

 

[Killer Kadoogan]

Breathe for a second and pretend i don't think you're retarded every time you post.

There's a poster here called DMF whose posts are just a weird stream on consciousness.

You posted that comment, so I said that it looked like a DMF post.

That's not an insult.

No one was attacking you.

Stop being a victim

I won't lie my memory can be gloomy so I pulled it up quickly. Tom ate a big right hand immediately followed by a super hard leg kick from curtis, and then ate another right hand and left before his knee exploded from the kick tom threw.

So really Tom just took a couple shots being overly aggressive in the early moments of a big fight. So he fought "poorly" for twenty seconds before succumbing to a terrible Injury, nothing really there to tell you what a full fight would play out like.

 

[Mohawk Banditó]

It's all good Sherbro. I know I argue like I got something against people, but I don't follow guys around, I'm a very case by case guy. Ask even 'my fans' or whoever and you'll see I've gotten into it with them too. I'm not biting into someone unless they're talking some dumb shit.

Now, if this convo steers into Islam-Volk and a bunch of capital letters, then you and I won't be gravy anymore, but until then, we're cool.


Now if you you don't mind, I'd like to return the subject to Aspinall getting "lit up" by Blaydes, cuz those posts personally offended me and my feelings, and I need vindication

I think that's just initial viewing feelings. My issue is with the narrative people use with that feeling as if Blaydes was dominating or was going to win, but like you said, nothing would have said how the fight would have played out.

And if you look at the action again under a microscope, this here is the FULL fight.

-Straight right lands under the chin to neck/chest area, followup hook to the armpit pushes Tom off.
-Hard leg kick, but mostly picked up.
-Two 1-2's both miss.
-Counter right is just off center, it either misses or grazes the side of Tom's head.
-The follow up jab maybe lands well or was maybe more just a push just as Tom is stepping down and getting injured.

So basically, like one leg kick and one jab landed, and the one kick was blocked about as much as it could be and the jab was same time as the injury, so it could have caused it or partly been because of it.

I'm not taking Curtis' W away, but this is like the most non-consequential action to ever happen in a victory we've ever seen, so the large contingent of "Blaydes was clearly going to win" people boggle the fuck out of me.
