I can see UFC avoiding putting them together though. They dont want either losing non title bouts at this point,esp Sergei.
You're probably right, but in three months that problem ceases to exist. If, as Jones has stated, he retires after beating Stipe, Aspinall - Pav could be the next title fight.

It’s disrespectful and also really boring. Gane is awesome, he just happens to have a kryptonite that Jones (and IMO Aspinall) can capitalize on.

It's very possible, for sure. It's an extremely intriguing matchup that I hope we get to see. Tom moves well, that can't be denied, but I think Gane has the advantage in speed/footwork. Would all depend on whether Aspinall is able to close the distance and force tie ups.

Fuck, I want to see this fight. I think with Jones out of the picture soon, these 2 are the best HWs on the roster.
 
Typical. Overwhelmingly in favor of Aspinall, shocker.

Gane is a bum now since he lost quickly to Jones, and Aspinall is the next HW GOAT after smashing Tybura. Right sherbros?
right guy sucks plus this guy is english man he would beat this guy cyril in fight and beat jj in fight and verbaly. came from country that invented english language and wits and know hows
 
Can't wait for this matchup.

Honestly, they never learn.
 
Gane gets mauled on the ground. Aspinall has the better hands too.

Aspinall has superior speed, power, wrestling and a deadly ground game. Game would try to play his game, pot shotting from the outside, but Aspinall is fast enough to get inside and get his hands on him. At that point it hits the ground, and Game is done.

On Aspinall's side, it's how fast and effortlessly he dispatched Spivak, Volkov and Tybura. No one ever toyed with Volkov on the ground like he did, and Volkov has faced Werdum (old but still) and Blaydes.

He is legit impressive. We will see how he does against higher opposition.
 
I voted for Aspinall for one simple reason.
Gane was never any good!
 
If Gane gets wrestle fucked by Spivak then Aspinall will beat him with ease

aspinall didn't beat spivak by grappling through. he exploited spivak's willingness to get in up close in order to initiate his sambo throws and, with his fast hand speed, clipped spivak before he could throw him

in other words, aspinal is a very bad matchup for spivak.
 
Respectfully, your point does not stand. If you’re 2-2 with top position in the 5th against a pretty dominant champion, you have the ability to beat the best.

Gane will likely lose to elite grapplers for the rest of his career, but against any HW striker ever he’s capable of winning. I don’t think this is controversial.

Again, I never said he wasn't capable of beating ranked heavyweights. I never said he wasn't any good. I never said he wasn't talented.

I said he will never be at the top - that part of his game is too weak. I'm 100% correct until he proves he can do it.
 
I am just sayin too,if you stand up w him,you can get taken out. Francis got hit ALOT. Elite or not,not everyone can absorb such blows for very long.

Fair - and I am not bashing Gane. He is very talented and among the best in the world. I respect him very much as a fighter.

Francis, obviously, is elite.. but even with his grappling - which is not even his strong suit - he exposed the weakest part of Gane's game.

Aspinall, Jones, Blaydes.. all of those guys could exploit that weakness to a greater extent than even Francis did.. I mean, Jon Jones did already - very quickly.

Gane is really skilled for a HW striker, but Aspinall's speed would take some of the comfort he has continuously countering and evading much more plodding HWs like he is used to. And the ground game difference, well, let's not even go there. One of the worst HW matchups for Gane.

Gane is already booked to fight Spivac.

So again, what is Sergei supposed to do other than sit around waiting? Him and Aspinall are both free to fight, let them bang.
It's up to him.
If he wants to sit , heal and prepare properly , he can do it.
Aspinall is ranked much lower and was inactive for a long time.
I see no need clashing promising contenders.
They can fight for a title once Sergei is the next champ.
