Yeah, kinda lame Jones is fighting a 3/4 retired Stipe for his retirement fight, but whatever.

Gane vs Aspinall for the HW belt of the future is going to be an amazing fight. And Gane showed a legit sprawl there against Spivach, so I’m less worried about an Aspinall blitz takedown ending the fight early and easy
 
Nah, Pavlovich will be involved in the vacant title fight if that’s what happens. Gane needs another win, he’s failed twice in title shots recently. A win over Spivak doesn’t get him right back there.

When the two that he’s failed against are no longer in the UFC I feel that changes the picture
 
I know Gane will say no but they should definitely make this fight for MSG, the winner fight the russian for the vacant belt.
 
It would be Pav vs Aspinall next for title when Jones/Stipe both retire in Nov.

Maybe, but still you gotta have Pavlovich involved I think. I’d lean Aspinall getting the chance against him over Gane simply because he hasn’t gotten a shot yet.
 
Pav vs Aspinall for the vacant belt makes more sense. Gane vs Blaydes/Jailton winner

This, and I like Gane a lot too. I also like Aspinall a lot and think he's the best current HW, period.
 
Aspinall and Gane get to fight for the opportunity to fight Pavlovich for the vacant strap.

Aspinall/Gane is my dream fight for the HW division right now. Spivak didn't pursue the grappling much, but he had a couple deep shots that Gane stuffed nicely. Fucking geeked to see Ciryl shake off that last fight, he was cool as a cucumber against a legit grappler.

But Aspinall comes from a loss to Blaydes (injury but still) and win over Tybura. That's a bit light for a title shot and does not really put him over Gane.
I also think Aspinall is phenomenal but his record needs some work. At least a top 5 win.

Gane showed he can defend basic TDs, but Aspinall's shot are way faster and with better set up.
