no it doesnt
aspinal is a nobody
biggest win is volkov who is a longtime gatekeeper in HW
volkov a guy that cant get near the belt when stipe was the champ

pretty sure even if jones beats tom
people would just say hes a nobody

its been going on for a decade now
 
Beating the best fighter in the division from 2011 and still beating the best fighter in the division in 2024 in a division up would be an absolutely mind-boggling feat that no one would but be able to replicate.
 
Of course it does. People have been speculating how Jon would do against a top level, well rounded heavyweight since the days of Cain and JDS.

He never moved up during their era. Then came the Stipe, DC and Francis era, and again he did not move up.

Now the only guy who is well rounded and skilled enough to give Jon issues and is an actual top end HW size wise is Tom Aspinall. Hence why everybody wants to see how Jon would fare in that fight.

Not to mention Tom deserves it. Besides Gane he's essentially cleaned out the division and he hasn't been been given an undisputed title fight yet. He's lapping the division before winning the belt which is ridiculous.
well rounded?
can you name which great striker he outstruck
wich great wrestler he outwrestled
and wich bjj black belt he strangled

as far as im concerned hes been submitted twice in his career
he has the same submission as gane

You are re... well I won't use that word because it will upset my friend @Ares Black but I will say you couldn't pour piss out of a boot if instructions were written on the heel.

again you cant even defend your opinion
does facts hurt your feelings
 
I think so, Aspinall is pretty much the next biggest thing at HW, that's if he isn't already. He's young, very well skilled fighter and could very well be the champion for a good while. Once everything settles down and people start finally leaving the sport.

I don't understand why Jon Jones thinks it's not a good legacy fight, when it obviously is. The guy is fresh new blood, who's ranked #1 contender with an interim belt.

Stipe in the other hand is a mystery, who's not currently ranked. Hasn't fought for so long and we don't know what Stipe will show up against Jones.

I think it's a cop out for Jones. I think Jones knows he could easily lose to Aspinall and look foolish in the process. But Stipe can surprise everyone and just KO Jones. To me it's just a bunch of excuses by Jones.

He should fight the #1 contender as of today. It's the right thing to do, that's if he chooses to retire. Which his prerogative and that's fine as well.
Nope, casuals dont know who Tom Asspin is...but they know who Alex Pereira is
 
Haters just want to see him losing before retiring for good, doesn't matter against Aspinall, Ngannou or Andre the Giant

It's just a matter of seeing him losing

Fucking losers they are
