Is Popov Better than Aspinall?

[ReasonableMan]

Aspinall has impressed me with his quickness. Don't think I've ever seen an MMA heavyweight move like him, though Gane is also really impressive.

Aspinall is also a good grappler from the top at least (see: Volkov fight).

Cardio and Wrestling? Totally untested. I think Popov could be a problem for Aspinall. Blaydes doesn't set up his entries well at all. Popov does.

Oh well, we'll probably never see the fight. At least we might get to see Ngannou vs. Popov. Could be a bad matchup for Popov, that.

Tom by TKO/KO in the 1st.

No chance, Popov is a slow but committed dude who will hold onto a single leg for ages until he gets it but guys can and do get back up against him. Aspinall would chin him.

Aspinall is lucky Poppv is in PFL

 

[usernamee]

any relation to Popeye?

 

[PhotographyRaptor]

The old college fave has takedowns?

 

[joy2day]

There is no one on earth that can beat Tom in an MMA match. Period.

With all due respect, I'm biased towards the older guys, but i just don't see anything outstanding about Aspinall. He has very solid fundamentals and is fast for his size, but i just don't see enough to jump on the bandwagon, yet. I hope he proves me wrong.

Sadly not how this sport works, especially at heavyweight.

No

Tom is good as Fedor and Cain in their prime. Not sure how this is hard to comprehend for some of you. Are you really fans of the sport or nah?

I don't think anyone in HW MMA can beat
Tom Aspinall. Jon Jones is the only question mark for me, which I why I want to see that fight.

Why doesn’t Jon Jones want to fight him?

I am not Jon Jones bro, anything I would have to add would be speculative and not original.

Hey why don't you pipe down sir, can't you see the think tank is at work here lol

He's special for sure. I'm grateful that we have him.

Naw, I saw this when he finished Arlovski the way he did and he's done nothing, but prove me right. It's like Khabib, Jon, Usman you could see they would be champions eventually, it's not hard to figre out, unless you DON'T want to see it and have BIASED against Greatness. You can see greatness, Jon knows what he's looking at too. I thought the only guy who had a shot against him Was Francis, due to his power, but even that was 50/50 to me. Tom is easily best skilled. It's literally like watching young Cain before he became champ and you could just see it's inevitable. It's HW, he could still lose of course.
