Are we going to see Frank Mir v2? (Tom Aspinall)

[MetaIIica]

Frank Mir in his prime was extremely fast, bouncy, and agile then he had the Motorcycle accident and was not the same fighter after, will Tom Aspinall live up to his expectations as a Frank Mir clone, where his blown out knee will hinder his performance, or even blow out again? After all, Tom is much heavier than he's ever been, thats a lot more force on his knees with his bouncy footwork.

Frank was so fucking talented and that accident was a real tragedy because it left so many questions

 

[DiddlyDoodly]

Mir was like 6-1 prior to the accident and his injury was more severe.

You do realize that Aspinall just fought Tybura after the knee surgery and looked better than ever?

Well towards the end of my post I state Tom is heavier than he's ever been, so I won't be surprised if we see another knee injury happen. Maybe his knee is stronger than before though, I hope.

Aspinall is like Mir 3.0. Mir version 2.0 is the one who beat Big Nog the first fight and dropped Kongo and choked him out. Aspinall looked fully recovered from his knee injury against Tybura.

 

[BowserJr]

Both are bad matchups for JBJ

Though with Aspinalls career could be ended by Jones oblique kick

 

[AMAZINGUFC]

horrible comparison...

 

[samuelsoncast]

Reaching.
The mild facial similarities stop there.

Mir, even before his accident was not fond of cardio and hoped to end up heelhooking guys who got on top. He had heavy hands but was not particularly fast.

Tom is a brilliant all-rounder and transitions smoothly. He takes the initiative and finds openings well.

There is very little comparison between them.

Tom's even got the back tattoo now.

Anyone check to see if Aspinall stole another heavyweight's strawberry jam?

 

[Pakman]

has TS ever watched Mir or Aspinall fight?

 

[BonyAcaiNogueiraBrothers]

Doesn’t really matter when he gets mauled by a Ford Escort either way

Motorcycles. I want one. But dangerous.
Anyone here ride?

 

[Onidemon84]

Mir was actually at his very best after recovery from the motorcycle accident. He put together some really nice looking wins

It's scary to think what pre-accident Mir would have done to Big Nog.

This upcoming fight is giving me bit of Mir vs Carwin vibes.

You know about Nog Backstory ? It's a Miracle he fight.

Well, it was Tybura, lol.
