Don't worry, Blaydes is going to knock Tom's head off and then Sherdoggers will be in shambles. LOL just to not sound like a dick rider I've rooted for Curtis in every fight he's had like the last 6 years. It's been up and down.
Blaydes has the tools to beat Aspinall but it's his fight IQ that has me worried for him. At times he can be very smart like with how he beat Almeida, then other times he's shooting for a TD on Lewis with no set up and getting caught instead of just keeping it standing where he's winning the fight already. Or he's continuing to try and have a fire fight with Sergei who hits harder and has faster hands instead of realizing that he's going to get KO'ed if he doesnt shoot.
He's been working a lot more on his standup since the Lewis fight. I think he realizes what he did was dumb. In this fight with Tom I don't think he's going to try to wrestle him. It's going to be a striking battle unless Tom shoots. The Almeida fight has me worried most because it kind of exposed his defensive wrestling so Tom might try to gameplan around that. If it's standing though it's HW and Blaydes can knock him out. Sergei and Tom have different attributes. I'm not saying Tom doesn't hit hard but Sergei might hit harder and he has a huge reach.
That would be the case if Tom wasn’t #1 or the interim champ. He’s both. If anything it is that Jones fans will find whatever excuses to justify this BS fight.
Curtis will have longer reach than Tom so if he can use that to his advantage, maybe sit on the outside using his kicks, trying to make Tom come to him and catching him on the entry, similar to what he did in their first fight, he should have a pretty fair shot at winning the stand up.
Tom is fighting Blaydes - why are you guys cryingAfter that if Jon tries to duck Tom who will smoke Curtis; you'll have wind in your sails, until then. SHUT THE %¤&% up. You seem like whiny babies at this point.
Omg this stuff makes me laugh so hard. If it wasn't Jon who held the belt and you didn't think Tom would beat him you wouldn't give 2 flying fucks about all this. Now people are trying to act super noble about merit when you know how the UFC operates. All this is based on hatred of Jon. All these comments about people all of a sudden giving this many fucks is so obvious. Just my opinion but it's entertaining. Keep it coming.
It was more of a general statement than trying to single you out. There really are Tom Aspinall fans here and I can tell who those are. Then there's probably some posters here who really do care about merit and I don't have issue with that but I understand how the UFC operates and all they want is money. If you pay attention though you can tell the other like 70-80% of this noble attitude about merit is just rooted in hatred of Jon.
