Rewatch 42 year old Arlovski giving Aspinall a tough time on the feet before losing from a technical error on the ground

[pick999]

Bisping super biased for this fellow Brit in the commentary.

He glazes so hard

 

[CombatCyborg]

This will be very useful footage for Jon in his upcoming defence against Arlovski

Lmao don't get too butthurt chump...lets see if you can even still walk up the stairs at 42 let alone give Aspinall a hell of a fight at that age.

Arlovski was on point with his striking, and Tom looked somewhat surprised he was getting hit with some big shots on the feet. I don't think Arlovski expected the switch to submissions which caught him off guard he is a high level grappler so ordinarily he would be giving Aspinall problems on the ground also.

He was, although Jones has far more to lose. Arlovski has done it all but has quite a few loses also so can afford to take those gambles without tarnishing his legacy.

lol "lets see if you can walk up the stairs at 42." How old are you? 42 isnt old

I love how the Aspinall clowns are talking up this win over 42 year old Arlovski but shit on Jones more impressively beating HW GOAT Stipe of the same age.

Jones also beat Gane, a higher level win than anything in Aspinall's resume, and did it more decisively than any fight Aspinall has ever won (finishing with an emasculating sub like that is more impressive than winging bombs and landing one).

Tom got lit up on the feet in the first Blaydes fight and subbed and finished by Stuart Austin, tapped INSTANTLY to this guy while Jones on the other hand wouldn't even tap to juiced up Vitor cranking on his arm with full force. Jones has the heart of a champion and Tom folds at the slightest hint of adversity, his track record proves it.

If you truly think these guys are in the same class of fighter, you're clueless. It's not a competitive fight, period. I'm glad Jones isn't wasting his time gifting Aspinall a puncher's chance at a Matt Serra vs GSP type fluke.

Maybe you should get your 'tism in check.

Arlovski was coming off of 2 wins and had fought 4 months prior. Stipe hadn't fought in 4 years and was coming off of a brutal KO loss. Yet here you are trying to compare them as if it means something like Forrest Gump smoking meth.

And other than the fact that you want to rinse the inside of your mouth with Jon's balls, how in fuck is Gane supposedly a higher level win than anything in Aspinall's resume? Gan'e biggest win is Alexander Volkov, whom he just beat by split decision. A guy Aspinall beat in less than 2 minutes.

Thirdly, who the fuck is Jones supposed to fight if not Tom Aspinall? What's actually hilarious about Jones fanboys is that they actually want their fighter NOT to fight. I'm pretty sure that means you're just gay, tbh. Nothing wrong with that, but most fans of fighters want to watch their favorite fighters fight. Apparently Jones fans just want the D or something cause they aren't interested in watching him fight at all.

HW goat stipe, lol.

 

[DiazSlap]

It says a lot about Aspinall's well rounded-ness and ability to overcome adversity.

Over Arlovski? Who is 87 in terms of fight years?? Damn you must impress easily bloke…

 

[ElLunico]

LMAO at tough time. Are you rtarded? Looked like a sparring session for Aspinall

 

[GordoBarraBJJ]

From 4yrs ago - Tom has improved.

And 42 yr old Arlovski has more balls than the supposed GOAT who is finding every reason not to fight Tom.

 

[Leinster Rugby]

No ones discrediting anyone Cindarella, theres just yourself getting your panties twisted when faced with objective truth. Not a good look.

There's far more stupidity when one generalizes "won in two rounds of a three round fight, so imo easy" rather than looking at the actual metrics and fight ittself. It was fairly close and Bisping was commenting on how Aspinal might be losing confidence fast since he hit old man Arlovski with everything, and it had basically no effect. Then the takedown and mistake happened. Thats all.

Lol you daft fucking cunt. If you'd looked at the fight metrics yourself you'd realise Tom landed nearly double the significant strikes that Arlovski did.

But y'know. Posting things like 'panties' and 'chump' is about your level of intelligence. So stick with that I suppose.

You know absolutely fuck all about 'objective truth'. What you've produced is a really poorly-conceived, thinly-veiled effort at discrediting a fighter. Minus the veil.

And your getting absolutely shat on in your own shit thread. Correctly so.

'not a good look' lol.

 

[sonhow]

Arlovski was still very good. People dont remember becsuse his fall while not dramatic was still quite sudden.
I bet on Andrei on that one btw and Tom did exactly what he needed.

Jones fans are by far the biggest weirdos. They go all night watching Tom fights and looking for errors to point out. At least Blaydes is better than Tom nonsense died in the rematch where Tom barely needed his second hand to win the fight in a minute.

 

[TeenageMutantLesnarTurtle]

Worth noting that Tom fought 42 year old AA for his third UFC fight, while Jon DEFENDED THE BELT against a 42 year old. Not only that but AA had at least picked up 2 wins within the last 12 months whereas Stipe hadnt won a fight in over 4 years.

 

[orca]

this is aspinals best win a 42 year old man from pride lol
come to think of it second best win would be volkov a journeyman from stipes era

now he wants oldman jones

stipe and gane is a bigger win than 42 year old andrei and journeyman volkov

 

[TOMFDJYEDH]

Worst thread I've ever seen

an oldman from pride
seriously from jurassic park era dude?

[TheMaster]

AA had a good stride.

He was 7-1 in that run with the only loss being to Tom.

Solid match.

Great fight that has aged well and testament to Arlovski that he has given Aspinal one of his toughest fights so far and his biggest win.

The Arlovski that fought Fedor would have a real chance. Obviously Tom's massive advantage is the power against a guy known for being susceptible, but considering how well he did at 42, a younger Arlovski with much sharper boxing and TDD can't be dismissed so easily.

Arlovski was unusual in that he almost got better with age when he became more cautious and started picking his shots more. He is clearly slower here, but is a genetic specimin compared to someone like Aspinall there is no comparison athletically which is why he was able to do so well even at this age.

Now, Aspinall does leave his chin very exposed when he attacks, that's his biggest flaw, and still today. So he took a couple of clean shots, but even in these exchanges he landed harder than Arlovski.

A dangerous flaw. Eating a couple of clean shots at HW could easily have been lights out for him. They were both careful on the feet because they knew and felt each others power.

I kind of agree , but that was aspinall's third fight ? He's probably gotten better. That is odd to see 42
Yr old arloski doing good against him though. Imagine a 32 yr old arloski. Shows the heavyweight division hasn't evolved that much.

HW has always been the least evolved because power is a huge equalizer. Its not necessarily odd seeing 42 year old Arlovski doing well here though...he was dangerous still and Aspinal is good but quite overrated. Its just that he has been promoted the hell out of by the UFC since they lost Ngannou and most of these chodes here have bought into it which is comical to see how their eyes seem to deceive them in a fairly evenly fought battle in this fight before the ending.

Arlovskis next move..

Where tf do you see Aspinall getting lit up lmao

 

[spinup]

I have been saying that about Aspinall for years.
Turns out, he so freaking fast, and has a great chin, that it has worked for him so far. His biggest test was Pavlovich, he got tagged hard but hardly reacted to it, still think he played a bit of a coin flip in that fight.

Now, who else in the UFC can exploit that flaw? Jones, Gane, Almeida and Blaydes don't bring that one punch KO danger. Ngannou is the only guy I could see catch and KO him, bringing massive power and reach along with decent speed, accuracy and fight IQ.
