The fight was way closer than people thought it would be, except that's what a lot of the smarter fans expected. Gane was underrated a bit going in.
I really think they should book Aspinall against VolkovFor what, the eye poke championship?
We’re gonna see Aspinall and Gane rematch. Jon won’t come back because he’s scared he might have to fight Tom
Hes scared of a guy who quit against a fighter he choked out in 30 seconds?For what, the eye poke championship?

He literally ran away and retired so he wouldn’t have to face Tom. There is no way you can spin thatHes scared of a guy who quit against a fighter he choked out in 30 seconds?

Or he only wants to fight worthy people, that's like some rookie with hype challenging Jordan to 1 on 1 back in the day. He rather play a Charles Barkley 1v1 or not play. There is no challenge there.

tom isnt even a championLike Poatan? who lost a fight a few months ago, has been knocked out cold at MW and got a split decision over a 40 year old journeyman all in recent times, and who likely wouldnt be top 5 at HW?
Sure thing.

That's what happens when you fight a lot and not given championship belts. The dude has won 2 belts legit, fought way more. Still a bigger name and he would beat Tom just like Ganes and doesn't fake injurys. He got kicked in the balls waved the ref off and knocked out Hill. Tom didn't even want to wait 5 minutes and wanted to quit way before. Paper champ.Like Poatan? who lost a fight a few months ago, has been knocked out cold at MW and got a split decision over a 40 year old journeyman all in recent times, and who likely wouldnt be top 5 at HW?

I think Aspinall has great potential but he did not look mentally ready. He looked like a fish out of water in that stadium.. Gane was relaxed so props to him for that.
Tom looked like Gane did against Jones. It was a reversal for Cyril this time.
So unfortunately (or not) I predict Gane will get another shot against Jones![]()

Alex is a harder fight to Jon and a bigger name, Tom got smoked by Ganes and Jones made Ganes look bad. You can talk about agenda and fast tracks but you can't trick people into who is worthy to fight and who isn't. Sorry your man crush Tom got exposed. He will be a gate keeper and have a job for years though.You're conveniently leaving out the part where Poatan was signed to the UFC at 3-1 and has been one of the most fast tracked fighters ever.
Again, he would likely not be top 5 at HW. Exciting fighter, big name and a credit to the sport, but he is going to be a very easy fight for Jon and Jon knows it. For however long it lasts Poatan wont be on his feet for more than 2 mins at a time. I reckon many of the people hyping Poatan up are Jon fans wanting to make it look as good as possible when he inevitably wins with ease, likewise the downplaying of Tom got more and more extreme the more obvious it got that Jon wasnt going to take the fight. Its all very agenda driven.
