Cain Velasquez Explains How He WINS Both Jon Jones & Tom Aspinall

[Black9]

You guys think prime Cain has any shot at beating Tom Aspinall or HW Jon Jones?

Video:

Jon Jones vs. Prime Cain? OK that would be a tough fight man, always, that would’ve been tough,” Velasquez told the Basement Talk podcast of that hypothetical fight, via Bloody Elbow.

“You know what with that dude, he’s the boogeyman but I think that I would’ve been the best matchup because I think I would’ve had something for him. I could go there where he would’ve wanted to go,” he added of the fighter who faced Velasquez’s close friend and training partner Daniel Cormier on two occasions.

As for the man who currently holds the interim UFC title Tom Aspinall, Velasquez doubted that the Englishman would have had an answer for his grappling.

“Aspinall as well, especially with the wrestling, I just know when I get onto somebody’s legs I’m taking him down,” Velasquez explained.

“[Aspinall is] very dangerous with his hands, has a lot of power, what he does, he kind of lunges forward and punches, takes a big step and lunges forward, closes distance really well. But with that, it’s like, when someone is wrestling it’s like, OK you’re gonna be coming into my takedowns.”

"First off, I'd follow Jon in my car...."

"First off, I'd follow Jon in my car...."

"I empty my semi-automatic pistol but only hit the bag of Funyons in the seat next to Jon."

What a mess.

I see what you did there. Nice.

Even without a glock, I wouldn’t count him out tbh.

Prime Cain was so well rounded and physically dominating. I wish we could see him in his prime right now. Jon would surely duck him but we’d see him fight Tom and Blaydes which would be fun fights

 

[bng]

only works if sea-level

 

[tritestill]

Jon would have never had a fight with Prime Cain. Not sure how that fight goes tbh. Tom reminds me of Prime Cain, in terms of being more athletic than his opponents. Not sure who wins that fight either.

Jailhouse rules?

Prime Cain would beat today's Jones but I'm very unsure about prime Jones. Cain would have most likely overwhelm Aspinall with hundreds of punches. But Tom could have caught Cain when he was closing the distance.

Dude couldn't even beat Werdum and looked like an amateur in that loss. What he had was amazing cardio and nonstop pressure. Everything else wasn't all that special.

 

[Thesnake101]

I feel like Tom's speed and power would've been a nightmare for Prime Cain's style. His defense was not good and he would've eaten some clean shots moving in that could put him out.

It's still a shame that his peak saw him fighting the same two guys over and over in between injuries before getting embarrassed in what was supposed to be his homecoming in Mexico.

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

He'd be the Undisputed Fight Island Champ

 

[Pancake Sprawl]

i think Cain could've beaten Jon. why? simply because they were both active champions at the same time and Jon never once let out a tweet talking about wanting that smoke.

vs Aspinall i think Tom is too big, too fast, and too active for Cain to avoid all the strikes and land his own. also Cain only has one style of fighting and i think that hurts him big here.

If you put them far apart and let him use his gun I guess.
But we would need something at the center for that.
So probably no.

 

[Darkavius]

Are we talking about Prime Cain Velasquez above or around sea level? Above sea level Cain would have been beat by Aspinall or Jones.

 

[RockyLockridge]

No one In history of the sport should be favoured to beat prime Cain

Prime jones beats every fighter ever. In whatever mythical world this takes place in if it's prime vs prime than Cain is fucked. You are not going to out cardio , out work or outsmart jones at the top of his game .

 

[chinarice]

I will never think DC wasn't better than Cain.

I'd pick Jon at his best over Cain at his any day.
