Aspinall would beat everyone on the planet

Not sure about that, but Poatan has never fought anyone in MMA who hits that hard AND is a competent grappler and a solid 262 pounds. The threat of a TD, submission or GnP would be much greater than anyone else he's fought. It would be a great (but maybe very short) fight, though.

Poatan arguably lost to 41 year old journeyman Jan Blachowicz. Big Tom would dump him and rip his arm off. Poatan fanboys are out of control.
 
Did you watch the fight? Dudes pretty sloppy. I despise Jones as a person, but Jones would work his ass and bully him easily
 
Blandes tagged him and his striking is not great. After tonight, I’d take iones míocic>> Aspinal tbh

Go watch the Sergei fight.

Aspinall looked like he was a little off pace tonight. It could be nerves fighting in front of his hometown crowd. He would've settled in after a round or two. Or just end the fight in I minute. But yeah, Sergie would've sent his head into the bleachers had he showed up to that fight a step behind.
 
His TDD has not been tested enough. If Izzy could put him down, Aspinall would do it even faster, at least on paper. I would like to see this fight.
I highly doubt Aspinall would KO Poaton at 185 lbs.
 
The UFC is missing out on the chance to promote a HW champion who is young, British and an absolute wrecking ball due to Jones holding up the line (he's still only fought 1 HW, ffs). Aspinall will have cleared out the division by the time he becomes champ. Bit of a shame.
 
I disagree strongly.hw is just so poor now that he looked ok. Jj makes an embarrasment of him even in his declining stage
 
I love tom. He's pretty sloppy though and his head movement is just risk and not calculation. Someone like Poatan would take advantage of that. His biggest asset is he's extremely well rounded and has WW speed at HW. Allows him to keep getting away with these crazy exchanges.
Yes anything is possible, but I think Aspinall would shoot for a takedown early on.
 
I say they book Tom vs Stipe for later this year. Winner faces Jones.... unless he just retires.
