Jon ‘Slow’ Jones

You either didn't watch the fight or you didn't understand what you were watching.

Are you seriously trying to argue that Tom Aspinall is slow?

No...never said he was slow. Just stating that his speed is something Jones can handle.
 
By who?! Nobody knows who the guy is!
bro Tom main evented two times in England, he's huge over there. and he's got plenty of fans here in the USA too. people i know who like MMA know who he is.
there, my anecdotal evidence is better than your anecdotal evidence.
 
Dude you hyper fixate on it like "OMGZ look what happened 10 years ago, you think this guy beats Jones???". It's moronic. YOU bring it up all the time, not others. That version of Aspinall is long gone, like any version of a guy is after a decade of fighting and climbing from small regional shows to arguably the best HW in the world. You should stop and look less clueless. You won't, but you should.

Because it's the only time Tom had to really grapple in a fight. He will have to against Jones....and he may have improved plenty but Austin isn't Jones either....and Tom started as a grappler and had many years of experience at this point already, training for probably close to 15 years. Jones at the same age and experience was ragdolling the best fighters on the planet.
 
its pretty funny to me that we have one guy on Sherdog with a Ride The Lightning avatar who cant stop suckin off Jones and always makes threads about him

and this thread against Jones was started by a dude with an ...And Justice For All avatar

i have no idea what it means. i like Ride The Lightning better but i am more of a fan of Tom than i am of Jones. maybe we need a guy with a Slayer avatar to start a thread saying they dont care about Tom or Jones.

Here's the result of that incredible grappling improvement he's made over the years. You have to realize some guys genetically are not good at aspects of MMA, just like Jake Shields trained striking for decades.

If it was so easy to just outgrapple him now, someone (like maybe Blaydes who's taken down plenty of guys in the UFC) mighta tried? We've only seen Tom dominate any grappling exchanges he's had in the UFC. Nothing else.

You just keep piling on the retarded takes. Him messing around for a youtube video. My God dude...it's like you WANT to look stupid.
 
He'll be remembered as the guy Jon Jones was scared to fight, and the UFC HW GOAT.
If the Jones fight doesn't happen then the chances that Tom will go down as the UFC HW GOAT are not that good. He'd probably need five title defenses and a limited tail to his career given the quality of opposition he'll have faced. If he beats Jones then four defenses is enough and even three might be, plus in that case the tail of his career won't matter unless it's just embarrassing.
 
Well, JJ vs Tom will happen. Let's see if I'm not right 😉

You're confusing your personalities now LOL.

"Will" happen??? When did it change from "already happened"??? 🤔

The bar for UFC HW GOAT is not very high

Agreed, but without a win against Jones Aspinall is unlikely to end up with any wins that compare to Miocic's best wins and Miocic has a couple of vastly overrated wins on top of his actual good wins that all top beating Pavlovich in the public eye. Aspinall will need a definitively better record than Miocic to be UFC HW GOAT without beating Jones.

It's done but not done. It happened for them, not for us... Yet.
