How good is Aspinall's cardio

False. Fights can be both easy and dangerous, and Jon doesn't particularly want dangerous fights, regardless of how easy they might be.
If dear Jon doesn't want dangerous fights, he has no business holding on to the heavyweight belt. By design, a champion should fight the most dangerous opponents.

Or should the top 2-10 fight amongst each other for the possibility of facing Jon, and then Jon gets to decide if they're too dangerous for him or not? Or if they are too big for him? Or too much younger than him? Or maybe he thinks he's an asshole? Ridiculous.

People who defend this must be bigger fans of Jones than of the sport.

An easy fight is easy because there's not much risk, not much danger. Like facing a 42 year old coming off a KO-loss and 44 months without a fight. A fight can be perceived to be dangerous but turn out easy (Aspinall vs Pavlovich is one example).
 
I've seen him fight only two or three times and he finished fools in the first round every time. Now that's great but what it's like for him to go into 3rd round in a fatiguing grappling-dominated contest. Does he become flat footed after a while or is he still light on his feet and capable of pushing the pace? Aspinall isn't the biggest of heavyweights. We straightway knew Cain, JDS, Stipe, Randy could fight for five rounds and they have proven that. Is he on their championship level or just a one trick pony?
Now that's a good question.
As yet we don't know. I ways find it interesting when a habitual fast finisher actually gets dragged into rd3 or rd5 and see how they deal with it cardio wise.....
 
Didn't know that. That's a completely untested fighter by definition. Which means he's loss or two away from becoming a prelim fighter.

Untested because he steamrolls everyone? lol

You obviously don't watch him/UFC enough if you've seen him two or 3 times so why do you even care?
 
We've seen him get ragdolled earlier in his career before the UFC, you could blame it on bad cardio or bad TDD or a mix of both, either way having weaknesses in that part of your game isn't good vs someone like Jones
10 years ago? keep trying

We have seen Jon get put in hospital vs Gus (yes same guy that Werdum destroyed in 65 seconds)
We have seen Reyes win vs Jon (same guy who i dont even know if hes a top 10 lhw)
Santos walked on 1 leg and stil got a split dec lol

How many rounds do you think Tom need vs Anthony Smith or OSP? I guess Smiths beat him right??


Keep dreaming about your superheroes, Lesnar, Conor, Jon, Rousey - its all hype sorry mate
 
His longest fight is 8:59. Almost every single fight ends around 1 minute. How could any of us know?

He has an amateur bout that is exactly 1 second longer. Maybe that will give more insight. <lol>
 
If Jon thought it would be an easy win, he would have taken the fight. Instead he's come up with every excuse possible not to fight him. He also said he would want to get paid so much that it wouldn't really matter if he won or lost the fight, which means he's well aware that it's his toughest challenge.

Only idiots would say Tom wasn't any good if he loses to Jon. His HW-resume, and even his interim championship reign, is better than Jones too.

Imagine holding it against a fighter that he finishes fights too fast.

Reminds me of Josh Thompson insisting Khamzat doesn't deserve a titleshot from finishing Whittaker in round 1, because we didn't get to see him reach a 4th or 5th round.

Huh? He became the 2nd guy in 60 fights to submit Arlovski. Never got tired, never got hurt, just didn’t finish AA in round 1. That’s not “pretty average.” That fight was also like 3-4 years ago now. He keeps getting better and better and is in his prime.
That's fair. I honestly got Tom's fight mixed up with another Arlovski fight. I forgot he subbed him.
 
Explosive guys tend to fade faster...If jon survives the first 2 rounds he has a good shot
