If you were Tom Aspinall, what would you do?

[froggyluv]

Carve out a wooden Sea canoe and make his way to the primitive tribes of South America Amazonia -the ones that never met whitey before. Fight his way into the tribe and lose all contact and memory of his former life, his language or his name. "tom. Tom?. ......". Let him marry into the tribe and finally fight the chief, shrink his head and take full reign marrying the tribe hottie.

In 7 years send proper Englishmen to recover him, bring him back to civilization and throw him in the ring in full tribal gear and junglefro. He will be a draw no matter what.

UFC saved.

Fight Alex and completely ignore Jones. It would serve a number of purposes:

• It would be an easy win against a high-profile opponent.
• It would be a nice paycheck. If I were Aspinall, I would be as active as possible to take advantage of ppv points.
• It might hurt Jones's ego enough to actually goad him into a fight.

I honestly think Gane cooks him and he’s afraid of that just as much as the ufc so they are all sitting around

 

[wildchild88]

Aspinall just needs to fight as much as possible.

 

[Alpha_T83]

Demand to defend the interim title immediately against Gane or Volkov.

If the UFC refused to give a fight, go to X and make negotiations public. Dana is a bitch now. He ain't the Dana he used to be.

 

[Senzo Tanaka]

Demand UFC make the fight or strip Jones. I wouldn't find for anything other than the real title and that sounds like his strategy.

I would have been fucking with Jon mercilessly from the jump, but using humor to entertain the fans in the process.





"Ladies love a big duck"






"Jon Jones spotted at local swimming hole.
That big duck energy is a dead giveaway."



Maybe pay some college kid who does coding to make an actual playable version of Duck Hunt where the ducks have Jon Jones face and say Jones quotes before you shoot them "Living my best life"

Caption: Going duck hunting





Use memes like this with Jones shooped in.

"Duck is on the menu"







Make Jon Jones duck bobbleheads, give one to Ariel Helwani for his set and other MMA youtubers. (There are many who hate Jones and his ducking)

Do contests with Jones duck bobblehead giveaway.


You gotta have fun with it.

cept most people think Volkov beat gane but the judges got a dick suck bribe from the UFC to give gane the decision just to make Jon's win age better.... and Tom totally plooked Volkov.

Tom > Volkov > Gane
mma math is usually not wrong

LMAO not even Gane thinks that. Or he wouldn't have run like Usain Bolt from a fight with Aspinall.

 

[Roop Holstry]

He needs to fight Paddy for the BMF/GOAT title. I know they are countrymen and very likely related but this is what the fans want. If Aspinall can win this fight he is p4p #1.

He better get a full training camp in though. The Baddy is unstoppable. His dominant performance against Jared Gordon is aging well right now.

What the H? I never said that. You replied to me but that quote is from another user, not me. That's weird.

Demand a fight every 3 months

Next man up no matter who it is

Crush them in 60 seconds

Get paid, build aura, talk shit on Jones every time there's a mic around

 

[Ibm]

Aspinall is way too big to make 205 without giving up potential.

 

[Rampage_Jackson]

Aspinall is way too big to make 205 without giving up potential.

He said he made 205 his first ever fight and missed it his 2nd. He has no chance of making the weight today

He can "demand" all he wants. The UFC doesn't have to oblige. They're likely paying him pretty well to sit on the hopes of getting the Jones fight made.

 

[dipstickjimmy]

One of the only good things about my wifes fear of fucking everything!
Is that I get to buy some great cast iron for cooking!

I don't believe you.
1. You are a Sherdogger so how can you have a wife?
2. She fucks everything so how can she be fearful of it?
3. Just kidding but the way you worded the above, I had to do it.

They are contractually obligated to offer fights. This is well known. They definitely couldn't keep someone sidelined against their will for long.

Most likely, he's been ok with waiting until now but is finally losing patience, hence getting a lot more vocal lately.

As for the fans, they're losing patience and interest too. The conversation has shifted from "Make Jones vs. Aspinall" to "Strip Jones, book Aspinall".

They are contractually obligated to offer fights OR in some cases (maybe contract dependent) pay the fighter the amount they'd make for show+win that many times per year is my understanding. Maybe that's wrong but I've seen it stated.

 

[TeenageMutantLesnarTurtle]

Just fight Gane now unless Jon is actually gonna sign to fight within the next month or so.
