Does anyone here feel sympathetic for Tom Aspinall?

[MDoza]

It sucks that he got poked in the eye..

..but everything before and after was his fault.

Should have kept his mouth shut and not disrespected Jon Jones and he probably would have gotten that fight.

Should have kept his mouth shut and not cried about the eye poke, and fans would have just waited for the rematch.

Dude is his own worst enemy. He’s ugly and dumb. Do yourself a favor and stop putting yourself on camera and talking, Tom.

Punch dudes in the head, take your paycheck, and shut the hell up. Tell your dad to shut up too.

 

[IneedSometop]

Yup. I remember how badly Aljo was clowned after Yan kneed his dome into Bolivian.

one of the many times the posters on this hellsite have completely lost the plot

 

[icemun]

Whats happened to Tom lately?

Has his dad updated us with anything?

 

[JohnMandick]

MMA fans are the dumbest. He was clearly fooled, but let's shit on him for not continuing because he couldn't see.

 

[geardo]

Can’t really feel sorry for a guy that’s spent the last several months complaining on social media and making an ass of himself. That’s his fault

The poke itself will always be controversial. It all comes down to whether you believe the guy or not. It looked like an average eye poke to me personally. Was surprised he didn’t continue. But I’m an ass doctor not an eye doctor so wtf do I know.

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

There are a lot of people criticizing Tom for being fouled and I can't wait for their buttplugs to arrive so they get away from their keyboards for a little bit

That looks like @Kung Fu Kowboy when his cooker broke on christmas eve, and he ended up eating frozen chicken wings for his Christmas day dinner. That was unfortunate to say the least

I wasn't laughing, it was a difficult situation

Uh-oh, @HI SCOTT NEWMAN spilling @Kung Fu Kowboy 's personal medical information. Shots fired

 

[jeskola]

Tom haters still acting like Cyril KO'd him and Tom didn't land 27 significant strikes on Cyril.

 

[ComfortablyNumb55]

Um ya he got poked in his eyes and didn't realize it was legal so he could implement it as well.

Gane wasn't even punished.

[CasualBot]

the one every one but you are in

So you're in a reality where Tom didn't receive flak about the eye poke?

Got it.

You're delusional.

 

[CasualBot]

Seconds after the eyepoke sure, the live threads will have people talking shit. He did quit, after all, which disappoints fans.

But all the backlash he’s received since then, he keeps bringing on himself.

Still down to view this "fake ai medical report" because he definitely didn't book fake surgeries on his eyes.

How is having surgery "bringing it on himself"?



There is so much to unpack about people's logic in trusting a neckbeard YouTuber...
over the visual evidence he was poked.

 

[CatchtheseHands]

I would be more sympathetic if he wasn't so dramatic about the whole thing.

 

[Clark Rogers]

tbh I think MMA fandom are getting what they deserve.

Grass ain't always greener.

 

[Superzorro]

Yup. I remember how badly Aljo was clowned after Yan kneed his dome into Bolivian.

And the thing is this - I promise you the same people crying and playing the victim along with Tom were trolling Aljamain. The EXACT same people. Username for username, thread for thread, word for word, bar for bar. So I have no sympathy. The only difference is Peter Yan was one of the fanbases golden child’s, just like Tom is. People only cry foul when it happens to their favorite fighter.

And the people crying are soft as hell. This poll lets us know for a fact that it’s not even a majority of MMA fans. They are in the majority and they are not remotely outnumbered. They just can’t take even the slightest bit of criticism.

 

[Superzorro]

They did that with Jones you know. They asked about fighting Tom
I found footage

Did they ask him about those title defenses tho??

He didn't quit because of being punched.

What surgery has Tom had

He didn't you're sensitive and hearing what you want to

Who was the fighter with his mouth open gasping for air while bleeding from his nose and wound up with a broken orbital?

 

[Vigfree]

I personally dont think this is true. I dont think users are criticising tom for not fighting. it's EVERYTHING ELSE. He didn't even lose but he's sore as fuck about it. Worse than stephens was against yair, worse than anyone i've ever seen have a fight go no contest over a foul.


He's approaching mark hunt level butthurt. He's talking about a bunch of stupid bullshit like dirty finger nails, calling his opponent a "dirty fucking cheater" even though he was getting his ass whooped CLEAN AS FUCK before the foul. before the foul he was looking sloppy and desperate. I can now tell if he were to have lost he'd have probably made a ton of excuses. If he just took a "shit happens, I'll be back approach" it would not be nearly as bad for him.



Truth is, his he had his old man popping off at the mouth constantly while all The UFC had nothing to say about any of it. he should have let the UFC update fans on his condition after medicals and such. it would have come from a more offical more unbiased source.

most of your points are reasonable other than Tom getting his ass whooped.
The round was quite close. Definitely not an ass-whooping.
