How badly would a prime Roy “Big Country” Nelson dominate Tom “Fish and Chips” Aspinall?

[DiazSlap]

Prime Roy: Granite Chin, massive power, wrasslin and submissions.

Don’t think Tom would make it to a decision to be honest.


Shame how far the UFC HW has fallen.

Yeah, Roy Nelson isn't beating Aspinall unless Aspinall gasses trying to finish him and then gets caught. It is crazy how far the division has fallen though, I've always felt N'Gannou, Gane, Aspinall, Blaydes etc. Would all just be another top heavyweight in the era when you had Ubereem, Cain, Cormier, JDS, on the rise Stipe, Hunt, Werdum etc. I think at best they'd win-some lose-some, it's possible they'd rinse out even. The 2nd tier guys like Browne and Barnett weren't awful either.

Contender for worst post ever and that's some achievement.

Not as badly as Anthony Perosh would dominate Poatan tbh.

Or as prime Norman Parke would dominate Islam.

The Hippo was no joke on the ground.

Exactly and most of those guys were past it and still better than these “new breed” jokes.

I think Aspinall and N'Gannou are basically up there with all the bests of other eras easily, I just think the post Strikeforce merger was the golden age for Middleweights and Heavywejghts, where both divisions were at their best and deepest.

 

[Ares Black]

At least you used Nelson's real nick name this time.


Still a garbage thread.

No

 

[Momentosis]

Tom has been often compared to a young Arlovski. Super fast with KO power and a strong wrestling/grappling game. Arlovski KOd Roy in a semi-competitive fight.

 

[pankrat]

Cringey imo

I was gonna say, do you really think that about Aspinall and Ngannou.

But this relieved me.

I dunno if this is even his worst post. He has a ton of shit threads and shitposts. This is basically the norm.

I think N'Gannou was always going to wilt if he didn't find the KO vs someone who could push a pace. And vs guys who had chins and better technical striking, N'Gannou was super hittable...do I think the Hunt that slept LeBanner beats N'Gannou in a fire fight more times than not? Probably. Do I think a pre Cain beatings JDS is a huge issue for N'Gannou? Probably, even Cain and Cormier...I don't think N'Gannou is winning a decision ever, round 1/2 they will push him...exchange when they need to and wrestle to tire him out early then likely pour it on later. Even Stipe...was a pretty ruined fighter by the time N'Gannou beat him after those 3 Cormier wars and aging.

Not saying N'Gannou can't beat these guys but if he had to run the gauntlet he isn't coming out 5-1 vs Fedor, JDS, Cain, Stipe, Werdum, Cormier or whatever. Aspinall I need to see more from, he's absolutely melting guys so fast we aren't really seeing a lot from him. He looks to be one of the best combinations of technicians and gifted athletes we've ever see at HW though, it would be a shame if we never saw him fight Jones because besides Jones the only interesting fight left for him is Cyril Gane as he's beaten Blaydes, Pavlovitch, Volkov and Spivak...he downright smashed them to bits. Unless the UFC signs Malykhin or re-signs N'Gannou...pft, there's not much.

But yeah, this division is grim. I don't think Blaydes, Volkov, Lewis, Spivak, Pavlovich etc hold up vs other eras that well and even Gane is unproven somewhat.

I don't even think that Tom would see round 2.

Why waste your own time with this obvious troll bait.
