-yes i predicted Aspinall would just bumrush Gane and finish off a man who is weak in TDD.

-yes Gane was comprehensively better than Aspinall who looks a bit out of his depth on the stand-up, albeit against a man who's by far the best striker in the HW division

-no that does not necessarily mean anything for it was not even one round entirely so hypothesising based on a diminutive sample of a fight is just not to be taken seriously

-yes a lot of us forgot was Gane is capable of as his beautiful footwork and striking display against Lewis and Tuivasa isnt to be forgotten despite his recent match-ups one of which he was clearly debilitated in his feet with the luxations

-no the eye poke was not intentional as speculating otherwise doesn't make sense

-Yes it may have been that Aspinall used it to tactfully reset his chances against Gane coming into another match but whether he can see or not, the average UFC fan's ideal on toughness is irrelevant given they are mere spectators and mean fuck all on the grand scale. if your eye is raked and your ability is compromised its basically one of the worst feelings within a round of fighting/sparring and is subsequently, dangerous. your JustBleed outlook is indeed completely irrelevant.

-no Aspinall did not quit for yes he could have handled it a bit better by taking more time as given by the ref but his vision post fight remains compromised.

-yes realistically we will see a more ground focused no nonsense Tom in the rematch for Gane basically lost his finest chance to defeat the HW boogieman.

-yes we indeed were witness to by far the most unfortunate ending to what was bound to be a brilliant main event between two top technicians.
 
Yes Tom was getting pieced up
Yes Gane fouled (unintentionally)
Yes Tom could have recovered
Yes Tom knew he was gonna lose badly before the foul and knew this was his only way out.
Yes Tom milked it like Aljo (maybe even more patheticly)
Yes Tom will take 6 to 9 months to “recover” and new game-plan with Daddy.📅
Yes, he and Daddy need to STFU, because they’re just making themselves look worse (lie-lie-lie / cope-cope-cope)
Nope, they do not want a rematch with Gane🤣
And still…📉🥈🤡

Intentional as a category of a foul vs the literal definition

It wasn’t like Tom slipped & fell on Gane’s hand. Gane obviously intended to shove his hand in Tom’s face placing his fingers at eye level, then proceeded to gouge both of them

If finger(s) in the eyes HAS to be intentional then why do repeated unintentional fouls result in point deductions and/or DQ? I mean if they’re all unintentional then it shouldn’t be a problem right?

Because when it’s obvious your playing with fire your opponent shouldn’t be the one who gets burnt.

The replay shows Gane obviously knew what he was doing & it resulted in a stoppage, therefor it should’ve been a DQ

Probably not the result Gane was after but hey

watch the rematch end up the same way.

tom will use an eye poke for a dq win if he can't figure gane out. if cyril isn't doing well he might just throw an eye poke for the hell of it.

i think tom and his dad might have trained for milking the eye poke prepping 2+ years for jones. they may have thought they are so good at it he would get away with it.

i really don't care for tom, strip him of the belt. the hw division is absolute shit. just do alex vs jones and shut hte division down for awhile.
 
Fakespinall should go to wwe. His fake tough act just got exposed. He weasels out of the fight
Knowing hell get ktfo by Gane...

"Why are you boooing meeee?" Wimpass

Your tough act is a lot better to be fair.
Maybe the HW champ could learn fake act toughness from you directly.
 
This fight may be the only time in history where a 3 strike differential is being framed as someone getting "pieced up"
He wasn’t getting “pieced up,” but you could tell it was affecting him. That 3 strike differential was more than Tom had ever felt and he clearly was not happy about it.

They dont really believe it themselves. Its just cope tactics. If they say it enough times, it MUST be true.

Every knowledgeable take ive seen has said the same thing, that it was a competitive close round. Makes for an exciting rematch, as long as Tom's eyes are good.

It just comes across like certain people were so invested in seeing Tom get derailed that they are clutching to the bare minimum they were given and trying to exaggerate it all to make it seem like he actually lost.

And we all know these people are Jon fans. Its a very weird mentality to want a talented prime exciting fighter to fail simply because another guy you're a fan of made himself look bad by not fighting him. Its hardly Toms fault.

Thats exactly what it is and shows them up for the losers they are.

The majority of people that were trolling Jon and calling him a duck etc for the past year (rightfully so) for the majority werent even real Tom fans. As you can now see by the shitstorm hes recieved the past few days. But these special needs individuals still blame Tom, because they are well... special.
 
This gives gane even more time to prepare his grappling. Aspinall cant really get more athletic or put on more muscle. He doesn't have the genetics.
Aspinall needs to work on his takedowns I mean proper takedowns, not head first bomb rushing an old Arlovski, although his takedown on Volkov was perfect timing. Those type of takedowns are difficult to do on someone like Gane who uses footwork and pivoting. That fight with Gane showed Aspinall has a difficult time dealing with someone who knows how to use their reach and is vulnerable to oblique kicks & teeps. Gane needs to keep improving on his grappling and TDD. A lot of people believed Aspinall would end Gane quick via sub because Jones was able to, big difference is Jones knows how to properly takedown his opppnenets.
