It is factual. He was 1-1 in his last 2 prior to the Jones fight.
Did beating Gane improve the Legacy of Jones?

then it's fair to compare the two as
Gane was 3-1 in his last 4
Aspinall is 3-1 in his last 4
Sure. Gane's loss was being outwrestled by a striker with 1 working knee.
Aspinall suffered a freak injury 15 seconds into the fight and avenged it by finishing Blaydes in minute when they rematched.
Loss bs "loss".

I am a Jones hater (just personally, I think he's the best to ever fight) and there no doubt beating Gane improved an already awesome legacy. But if he doesn't fight Aspinall after he dismantles Stipe there will be whispers of ducking - no getting around it.

Will be interesting to watch him against Stipe!

Thank you
At least you are honest!! I remember many Sherdoggers who swore Gane would destroy Jones and then switched completely after the fight and suddenly Gane was just a can and a foregone conclusion that he never had a chance ><At least Bisping was the reigning, lineal MW UFC champion and also had the Pride welterweight lineage (183 pounds for those not around for Pride).
It may have been a cherry pick in real terms because the bastard had one eye, but he was still the undisputed champ.
Much different to fighting a French kickboxer who was never champ at any stage in a vacant bout and pretending your belt is not made of paper.

i suggest you watch nganou vs gane
gane should have been already a champ if he didnt went for the submission
he blasted nganou on the feet
outclinched nganou
he got taken down but nganou cant even deal damage
he actualy took nganou down the moment he tried lmfao
it actually shows you how low skilled these HWs are

Beating Aspinall would no doubt improve his legacy, beating Gane just showed that he can outgrapple a French kickboxer who's notorious for ducking wrestlers, got wrestlefucked by Ngannou for 3 rounds in his previous fight, and was unable to ever become champ of a very shallow/weak division.
Jones had next to no success grappling three years prior against Santos and Reyes, but before the fight said something to the tune of "if a guy like Francis can beat him with wrestling, just imagine what I'm going to do".
So Jones has been saying since 2012 that he wants the HW belt, but only decided to make the jump when the perfect matchup presented itself.
Gane and relic Stipe do nothing for his legacy.

no need to elaborate that Ganes loss was to the champion and a 5 rounder
Aspinalls loss was to a gatekeeper
logic goes both ways bruh
Not really. when you injured yourself 15 seconds into a fight the caliber of competition doesn't matter. He could have got injured against Arlovski or Jake Collier, wouldn't take anything away from what he's done in the sport.
By the way that gatekeeper would handily beat Ciryl Gane and everybody, including you, knows it.

why is Aspinall ducking Ciryl if that's the case?
since he's such a better fighter, should be a very easy $1M payday right?
You aren't even trying are you?
Aspinall called Gane out 3 times dating back to 2021. Gane refused all 3 times.
Yes. The fight would be easy for Aspinall. 1st round sub. Blaydes would win a clear 30-27 or 50-45 against Gane with his wrestling.

Gane was not champ and lost a wrestling match to Francis.
Nobody is impressed, except casuals.
Jones legacy is muddy due to his behaviors.
As far as fighting, his behaviors overlap.
Hiding under octagon to avoid drug testing, crashing into pregnant woman & running away (twice), the dick pill story for using steroids, the arrest for drinking & driving, the three year absence leading to a conveniently timed return, and the current situation detailed above.

It didn't hurt, that's for sure.
