If Aspinall loses to Gane people will basically just say he was never good enough to beat Jon

[BarbellzNbacon]

Based off what we've seen, Tom "SHOULD" beat Gane, but remember these fights...

Shogun/Forrest
Adesanya/Strickland
Crocop/Gonzaga
Holly/Ronda

Nothing is certain

They definitely will say that and they may not be wrong in that scenario. However, would not change the fact that Jones was unwilling to risk it. That’s still worthy of some criticism.

If Aspinall loses to Gane, that division is dead.

jones/gane was so anticlimactic, what did it show us?

Jones quickly ragdolled a HW after a 3 year layoff. It showed he was still that dude.

Would be one of the funniest things to ever happen in the UFC. I think this site would crash

But why? I've been told nobody even knows who Aspinall is. Why would one guy that nobody knows beating another that nobody knows crash anything??

 

[skylolow]

With the way the MMA gods shit on the HW division it won't shock me, even though Gane has basically a puncher's chance at best of winning this fight.

 

[Aurelian]

Tom definitely has a lot of pressure on him to win. More so than in any normal circumstance.

 

[Ibm]

If Gane beats Tom then Jones #1 status will be cemented. And to be honest, Gane is probably going to win.

Nobody outside of this site, aka ground zero for Jon Jones Derangement Syndrome.

Sherdog knows who Aspinal is and him losing would have so many shitposting about it causing the site to crash.

 

[mkess101]

no shit. And it'd be true. Then people would start comparing the two and begin to realize that Ganes wins are probably better.

Totally! I mean, Jones lost to Dom Reyes in most people's eyes and Dom barely lasted a minute with Ryan Spann. Clearly Spann>Jones.

The point is that the excuse made by many was that Aspinall isn't well know enough to warrant Jones unifying the belts. I was obviously mocking that train of thought.

Ahh. So when the highest paid sports mouthpiece and his cohorts do a 20 minute piece on the biggest sports network in the world...about Jones's retirement...and half of that time is spent showing Aspinall highlights and talking about Jon ducking him...that means "nobody knows him"? Huh!

 

[Mohawk Banditó]

It's almost like the term "MMA math" has existed and been used to mock that thinking for maybe decades at this point

Depends on the ratings

 

[SuperAlly]

If anybody other than Gane would beat Aspinall all the Jones haters would just switch the warwagon, very same as they did then Pav lost to Asp. All became Tom-nuthuggers.

False narrative Jones nuthuggers who love Jones more than MMA or their own children cling to as a comfort blanket.

you are a relatively smart guy, but you are derranged regarding jones. he's retired. sheath the sword bro.


All of these comments are strange, And I cant even tell how they are related to the posts your quoting.

Depends on the ratings

this. just because they TRY to pump the gas for aspinall doesn't mean anyone cares, The A side is jones, Without jones, aspinall is just some other guy. His only mystique is that he COULD be the one to beat jones. Without that possibillity, He's about as big a star as gane.

 

[Bowel-forged Stool]

They’ll be right too.
