Are Aspinalls low kicks a cause of concern for Jones?

[usernamee]

last kick of his I remember he ended up tearing his own knee apart

 

[ninja boot]

Tough to say.
Aspinal is a massive athletic guy that would probably be best served to do what has been working for him but at the same time, Jones is an elite wrestler and may see kicks as an opening to close the distance and go for takedowns.
Either way I sure hope this isn't all hot air and we actually see the fight booked

For Jones? They're a cause of concern for Aspinall, who LOST A FIGHT because he kicked his own leg out of commission.

 

[TheWizard]

Aspinall won't be throwing a lot of kicks cause of Jones' wrestling threat.

Lol. Maybe I should have rephrased that

 

[Last Falconry]

no, because they're never fighting

 

[Intermission]

no, because they're never fighting

Its just the details left. They'll fight in the summer according to dana

Everything is a cause for concern for Jones, that’s why he won’t fight him.

Where is the evidence Jon has any sort of weakness to low kicks?

I meant anyone but hes fighting Jones next

Oh Dana said it? Ignore me then, looking forward to the fight happening in the summer like Dana says!

 

[Stoic1]

Jon's best counter to the leg kick is an eye poke.

One lowkick from Tom 'Shogun' Aspinall will snap Jones's chicken legs

 

[Lycandroid]

Has anyone tried a low kick heavy approach against Jones ?

 

[Dr. Rose]

I think pretty much all of Tom’s arsenal is a concern for Jon because he doesn’t really know what’s in it. There’s just not much footage of Tom out there. Jon is pretty good about keeping people out of range to land low kicks, and he makes them pay for getting too close. If I were Tom I’d worry about Jon’s oblique kicks, especially since Tom apparently has some issue with durability of his knees.

Sadly, I can see JBJ spam oblique kicks to a decision win and ruin Tom's future as a fighter in the process.

 

[Dr. Rose]

No.
Yes.
No.

I trust your opinion over others on here. I do agree the sport has evolved, but not that much. It seems like it is largely evolving due to the popularity of a certain technique, such as calf kicks and not necessarily something largescale and super inventive. What do you think?

Jons 81” reach nullifies peoples low-kick game

When you are trying to kick him and be right out of range, you are standing right within his actual range is the problem

If Tom lands more than one leg kick, Jon is wrestling.

Taking those kicks away will be an important part of his gameplan and he will strategize to take them out of the fight.

Tom kicks hard. Jon has small legs.

Yeah, Jon should just leave his shin out and just wait for the W.
