Does Tom Aspinall ever comeback to fight again?

[Takes Two To Tango]

I don't know what Tom Aspinall is mentally focussed on right now.

I believe he has one foot out of the door.

I wouldn't be surprised if he retires.

Just a gut feeling I have.

Too much negative feedback on his plate, probably overwhelming him.

 

[MMACro]

It was good while it lasted
Jon Jones retired him without fighting him
Peace

It takes a lot to become undisputed UFC champ. And I admire Tom for almost becoming one.

I was watching Alex Honnold the other day though, climbing a skyscraber, and I thought to myself: That guy wouldn't have quit if he got poked in the eye.

 

[bng]

I dont know. I believe he has contracts with Netflix, HBO and Amazon Prime to make atleast 5 seasons of "How I got blind" on each streaming platform. Preparations, filming and postproduction takes a lot of time. Not sure when Thomas Wayne would be able to fight again.

 

[VinceArch]

He'll be back, your all blowing this out of proportion like normal.

 

[Fedorgasm]

He'll be back, and I hope he doesn't even try to fight Gane fairly. I want him to just charge him like a madman and start clawing at his eyeballs.

Then gouge the refs eyes too.

Then jump over the cage and start the gouging the fans.

He'd be like a Batman villain. We could call him the blinder.

Umm, i think it's Tom who blew it out of proportion with his "How I went Blind" series on youtube. If he had just shut up, said "I'll be back when I've healed up" nobody would care. Instead he and daddy kept making documentaries and even put some behind paywalls. WTF?

He's at fault as well, but we are currently discussing this in a thread titled 'Does Tom Aspinall ever comeback to fight again?'

Some of these posters need to stop jumping the gun, so to speak, and realize they're simply making threads to bash on Tom.

We're blowing it out of proportion that it's been 4 months since an eye poke that Tom has repeatedly lied about?

Stop trying to pretend you actually believe Tom has been "recovering" from an eyepoke 4 months ago that did no physical damage, and yet Tom still has no timeline to return. The timeline is whenever he thinks he's improved enough that he can beat Gane now or when he doesn't have to because the UFC gets frustrated and matches Gane against someone else while Tom's "still recovering".

We all know he's milking this. If he doesn't want to come back because it's Gane in front of him then he should drop the charade and drop the title while he's at it.

Case in point.

 

[HNIC215]

I don’t think anyone cares anymore.

I would like to see the division move on.

They need more talent at heavyweight. That whole division is a mess.

 

[markg171]

Case in point.

It's been 4 months of Tom lying about being injured, having no return timeline (because there's no injury), and we're the ones blowing things out of proportion by saying Tom's obviously just milking things to avoid losing to Gane?

Meanwhile this was your reaction to Jones saying he wanted 6 months to adequately prepare for Aspinall:

Adequate? Holy shit, the nut riding for a steroid using coke head who beats on his wife is astounding.

Jones fans (Christ on a cross) remain the most delusional, rose-tinted glasses wearing dumb fucks in the MMA community, I know this for a fact.

With no return in sight 6 months is less than Tom's seeking by this point. On top of all the prior months he already trained for Gane.

I'm sure the double standard is just a coincidence though and you're totally not just burying your head in the sand here.

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

Wouldn’t be surprised if he doesn’t come back. Dadspinall wants him to box and Tommy has a YouTube prank channel and woe-is-me documentaries to fall back on

 

[CatchtheseHands]

He will be but who knows when. Tom messed up with this eye poke bad though. He should have skipped exploiting his injury for views and money and just stayed low key while healing up and ignoring the blow back until it blew over. Now he's never going to live this down. He should have taken the Ciryl path and just stay quiet about the whole thing cause no one is talking about him anymore.

Just look at the amount of Tom threads to Ciryl threads on here from Oct-Nov to now. Not a single one about Ciryl being a cheater in 1 to maybe 2 months now. People will be over it completely by the time they rematch. Mean while Tom is going to be getting shit leading up the rematch and after it especially if he loses.

 

[arrmike]

I would love if he gets cut and fights/beats Francis somewhere to become the lineal HW champ.

 

[Tito Tapped]

It's too early to say. Apparently he needs surgeries and I'd want to wait till after to make any definitive guess.

What I can say is Tom doesn't seem like the guy to pull a Bisping and fight at all costs.

 

[Nobru]

We should ask his doctor.

I hope he comes back tho, HW needs good names.

first 4 mins and 30 seconds of the fight were a clean ass-whooping. i dont expect the rematch to last that long.

 

[ArtardFiesta]

I think he's done. Even if he does come back his career is stained for a bit. he would need to win 3-5 fights in a row decisively for the fans to warm up to him.

 

[Mohawk Banditó]

your all blowing this out of proportion like normal.

I have no idea what you're talking about
