Dricus Du Plessis vs. Khamzat Chimaev or Tom Aspinall vs. Jon Jones - Which fight are you more excited to see?

DDP and Kham, Jones walks through a mediocre Tom.

Same here.

In a magical universe where both fights actually happen, DDP vs Khamzat is gonna be crazy.

Jones if he's healthy has better grappling and more dangerous gnp than anyone at hw by a rediculous margin.

Jones fights smart, he's going to be ruthless to Tom's knees with his kicks, avoid boxing a real hw, and outgrapple the shit out of him.

 

[-Sideways-]

Voted Jones vs Aspinall, but seeing Khamzat become champion is definitely a close second.

Aspinall vs. Jones. We all know what happens in a DDP vs. Khamzal fight: either Khamzat gets a first round finish or DDP gets an easy W and either way we don't really learn anything new about either fighter. Yes, there are other possibilities, but that covers at least 90% of the non-injury, non-DQ potential results.

Despite the confidence with which many shertards predict Aspinall vs. Jones, we don't really have any idea how the fight plays out, it has the potential to be a well-balanced, great fight, and the one thing that's certain is that we'll most likely learn things about the fighters like whether or not Jones has gotten MMA old, whether Aspinall has a gas tank, how one or the other responds to being on the bottom on the ground, etc.

Lol, that's not why. You hate Jones and want to see Tom destroy him, that's why that's the most exciting fight for you.

Would also love to see picto get KTFO, but he always finds a way to win, so I won't count him out.

For that reason, I'd say I'm more pumped about Dricus / Khamzat. Both guys are monsters in their primes.

I agree 100%

Tom vs Jones. Honestly this fight is an incredible matchup. I have thought of this fight and imagine it going a variety of ways. I am no Jones fan at all but the guy is incredible. But Tom is a big fast powerful man who can KO anyone. Jones has the chin and is an absolute dog and if he gets Tom deep in the fight it could be bad news for Tom. The fact that Jones has sat at the top of the mountain for as long as he has and the insane run Tom is on. The story line can't get bigger. Its the fight you dream of and can only come around once or twice a decade. Chimaev had his hands full with Burns, I can't see him beating DDP.

I genuinely believe Tom is a layup for Jones. People call it ducking when someone doesn’t bend the knee and has leverage against Bald Goof and friends. DDP and Kham and Islam and Ilia are the two that make me excited to see happen from a fan prospective

DDP and Kham, Jones walks through a mediocre Tom.

Lol I think it’s going to be the other way around. I think if Hines tries to stand with Tom he is going to get smashed with Tom’s fast hands. Has the fastest hands at hw and their heavy. If he tries to grapple (which I believe will be his game plan) I think Tom defends majority of the td’s and forces Jon to strike with him. I think at some point Tom is going to catch jon with his hands. And if Jon was getting rocked by strikes from santos and Reyes at lhw, he is going to dropped for sure by Tom if he catches him which he will.

I’m pre interested in the khamzat and ddp fight. I think that could go either way. Ddp has become such a good fighter and is deceptive in his striking. It’s weird and unconventional but it works for him. I think Khamzat has to finish him within 2 and if he doesn’t it’s ddp to lose.

 

[linvillegorge]

This isn't even close. Jones vs. Aspinall is THE fight right now. No close second.

DDP/Khamzat

 

[Meathead Jock]

Tom vs Jones pretty easily.

But that doesn't mean I'm not VERY excited to see Khamzat fight for the belt finally as well.

I feel like people not picking Tom vs Jones just know it's not going to happen so don't want to waste a vote or a braincell imagining it.

I need more people who believe this to bet the shit out of Jones and get that line moving. Let's get Tom to being a solid underdog vs being a slight favorite. You guys can do it! All those who think it's an easy fight for Jones, PLEASE put some money on him!

Yes! Get a wager in on Jones as a slight underdog. It's easy money!
