Could Aspinall beat Gane?

[Alpha_T83]

I think he'd destroy Gane. But anything can happen.

Look no further than Vitor Belfort tearing Randy Couture's eyelid or Jon Jones breaking his toe against Chael Sonnen. Hell Aspinall injured his knee against Blaydes already.

I'd say Aspinall is the favorite against Gane but he can lose if his luck is bad.

Asp is GOAT because Jones ducked him and afraid him. So he beat any person and any HW in history EASILY!! He has great boxing (like FW), amazing kicking, great wrestling (better than Jones and DC), amazing grappling (better than Werdum), supercardio, monstous fight IQ ect ect because he beat such a GOAT HWs as: Blaydes (best wrestler in HW) , Volkov (tallest HW), Pavlovich (baddest man on the planet), Spivak (best grappler in history) and Tybura (best non-champion in history)!!!!

 

[RandallKeithson]

Let's strip the Duck GOAT Jones First!!!
After we will be happy to discover who's better between Aspinall and Gane but with undisputed HW title on the line.

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

Yes, I would heavily favor Tom to beat Gane, he is much more well rounded. Much better on the ground, even in the striking Gane is a bit of a point fighter

 

[ThaiSexPills]

Just power. But Sherdoggers will try to convince you he's a HW Khabib because he has a football tackle style takedown he mixes in sometimes against low level grapplers. Gane has subbed low level guys himself, he struggled only against Ngannou and Jones, the likes of which Aspinall has never experienced.

Stuart Austin literally manhandled him like a child in the wrestling aspect. Creepy fanboy Sherdoggers will try to deny reality and convince you that Aspinall was winning the whole fight until a miracle sub because he had a little flurry right before that, but if you actually watch the fight he got bullied.

Pavlovich or Blaydes would each murder Gane. Gane can’t even clearly beat Volkov and citing two losses, one where he got outgrappled by a non grappler and one where he got humiliated does nothing for your argument.

 

[YourBoss]

lol is this a joke?

 

[Rubios]

Wut. Yes, 9 out of 10 times he would.

 

[Rampage_Jackson]

if I set the odds on Gane vs Tom it would be like -900 for Tom

 

[Rampage_Jackson]

Lol easily if he wanted too. He could take Gane down and submit him. On the feet it would be competitive but I'd still give the edge to Tom because of his power

Forget power Tom would be moving quicker than anything Gane had ever seen. Gane is a very fast heavyweight and he would be in mud next to Tom.

 

[Elvis.]

Aspinall by sub is the most likely outcome

 

[muaythaibeast]

aspinal fans will claim tom is a world class striker and a former champ

both have 3 submission wins
gane took nganou down with ease as well

we literaly havent seen toms world class wrestling as well

He isn’t a former champ, he's a current champ, and yep, world class striker as well. Rico Verhoeven reckons Tom would be a genuine title challenger in Glory, and that's a man who knows striking.
Also the only man to submit Volkov since 2010 and the 2nd man to submit Arlovski - the first being Josh Barnett.
Takedown accuracy and defense of 100%, striking accuracy of 67%, lowest time controlled in UFC history, highest knockdowns per minute in UFC history, 2nd highest strikes per minute, best striking differential of all time, shortest average fight time of all time, and would also have the best striking accuracy and defense of all time, but he hasn't needed to throw 350 strikes due to his opponents not surviving long enough.
There is no metric where this guy isn't elite.

Yeah but he got caught in a heel hook 10 years ago and didn't finish Arlovski in rd 1 so he clearly sucks!

 

[GluttonforPunishment]

Spoken like someone who's never seen some of what the ammies offers up. There's absolutely a distinction. I fought a guy in an ammy that was there to watch his buddy once. They literally pulled him out of the crowd because the guy I was supposed to fight didn't show up.

And you're dumber than I thought if you believe a decade of training and being a full time fighter wouldn't have someone massively improving. Instead of fights from 10 years ago, how about we look at the grappling of Aspinall vs Volkov and then Gane vs Volkov, genius.

FFS why would you constantly feel this need to look so stupid?

Cap. Just full on eat Tom up and debunk any possible scenario he can lose. Like he hasn't already. The blowing of Tom by some of you is quite embarrassing.

Who TF said he can't lose? What does that have to do with an idiot thinking a fight from a decade ago holds a bunch of relevance.

What's embarrassing is how fucking stupid some of the arguments here are, and then Jones ball lickers latch onto them like some sort of life raft. Pathetic.

 

[Angelassassin53]

Great analysis. Better striker because...Tuivasa almost finished him standing? Because...Aspinall has wrecked everyone he's faced?

Tell us more!

Seriously, people forget that Shoeuivasa was cleaning Ganes clock

Aspinall gets him out of the octagon within a round

 

[Ibm]

Yes. Gane is a more technical fighter but Aspinall is quicker.

 

[CuckSERVative]

im curious. Gane is a better striker, what advantages would Tom have?

Gane isn't a better striker. I'm sure he thinks that he is, resulting in another 60 second KO for Tommy

 

[Tweak896]

Tom has taken down Alan Baudot, Arlovski, and Volkov. Yet for some reason people have attributed him with great wrestling. Gane actually took Volkov down as many times as Tom has in his last fight. Also Tom has only defended 2 takedowns in his UFC career against a 10 day last minute Spivac in 1 round.


Gane has taken down Don'Tale Mayes, Rozenstruik, Ngannou, Volkov. Defended takedowns from Raphael Pessoa (2x), JDS, Volkov (4x), Lewis, Ngannou, Spivac, Volkov (2x).

It's very bizarre how much Tom's wrestling gets used as a fact with no history, while Gane is constantly referred as a white belt with no wrestling with much more history. I think if Gane keeps it standing it's going to be a tough fight for Aspinall. Also I don't think Aspinall is a lock for grinding out Gane like everyone else thinks so.

 

[CuckSERVative]

Yes. Gane is a more technical fighter but Aspinall is quicker.

Gane has the inferior technique and athleticism.* Fixed that for you.

 

[Daniel_LaRusso]

Gain took a dive against Jones.
