Aspinall Opens as -350 betting favorite in potential Gane fight

Can the Aspinall is ducking Almeida threads start?

Almeida doesn't sell. He's boring as a fighter and not marketable in the slightest. He will have to keep grinding decisions to get a title fight because he does nothing to make himself stand out. He needs a big moment to hang his hat on.
 
It's "ducking" to fight the #1 ranked HW on a win streak rather than fighting #5?
That win over Volkov is a robbery and you know it.
Tom will blast Gane and Jailton back to back within 6 months of eachother then become the HW Pantoja demanding Dana sign more succulent souls for him to devour, so the order really doesn't matter IMO

It was a joke Sherbro

Absolutely.
 
I wish they'd skip him lol. He doesn't deserve the fight for multiple reasons but his rank squatting refusing to fight Tom in 2023 is the biggest reason he doesn't deserve it.
I get it, but also for Tom's resume, it's best he gets new matches. Ironically rematches usually never help a champ when defending a title. Look as Usman's resume.

Fair. I think rematches can reflect positively for the champ but hindsight will always be hindsight and for Usman its unfortunate that Colby and Jorge haven't done anything since their Usman rivalries to make anyone feel strongly about those wins for Kamaru
 
He should be he's won a few in a row and the champ, he can't duck Gane any longer though, he's #1 ranked.

I mean if you think about all the champs that did rematches in their title run I can't think of much that really helped their legacy. Even Volk ended up fighting Max 3x, and I just think that if those last 2 matches were new guys that he'd be as respected as Izzy, who only really got rematches when he lost.

Jones best win is DC2

Also without it, there would be less PED accusations. That rematch was removed off Jones record and really sent the hate into overdrive. So it was a great win, but put everything in doubt.

It's pretty crazy to think about. The UFC has loved to put champs in rematches, so we've seen so many, yet if you look back you have to dig deep where the rematch even meant anything.

Recycled contenders, rematch or otherwise, stalling divisions is near the top of the list when it comes to the companies never ending issues.
 
This is basically Jones' fanboys only shot for some kind of W over Tom given Jon shit his pants running from him.

They're gonna be pretty disappointed when Tom bulldozes right through him.

Gane has been thoroughly figured out by this point. This matchup shouldn't even be discussed because he lost vs Volkov.

Agreed. Also add the rank squatting contenders that lose a titleshot and then fight 1 time to win and wait.
 
Spivac who relies on upper body TD's and has no striking threat to keep anyone honest. Acosta just stuffed Spivac too and your idiotic throwaway "Derp he's improved" means nothing given we just saw him outgrappled by Volkov.

And now is the part you whine about him being injured as though most fighters are totally healthy coming into fights. You're just a dogshit poster. I wanna try to come up with a way to say it more diplomatically but I just can't. You're fucking awful LMAO.
Golotta, luffy, markg, there's a few of them where it would be more worthwhile jamming rusty nails into your own eyeballs than reading their horseshit

Plus the fact Blaydes stopped him just last year.
