Jon Jones is gonna reality check alot of people who assume Aspinall will be a threat

[mkess101]

I believe YOU. The rest of them? Yeah no way in hell seen the movie too many times.

Aspinall is the best HW fight but no HW had a real shot at beating Jones. So the distinction is irelevant.

Wait you're saying (I'm assuming typo and you meant present tense not past tense) that no HW--including Aspinall--has a "real shot" at beating Jones?

Good to see your delusions don't end with your wacky world view. (At least I think that's you that wants to see society crumble to dust because you hate capitalism so much--if that's not you, my bad).

You think the guy who's FAVORED to beat Jones (if the fight is made) has "no real shot". Comical. I'm not saying Aspinall will definitely win, but your claim that he has no real shot is so typically Sherdog. Clown shoes fight analysis or transparent fanboyism masquerading as such.

Jon’s adamancy to fight Aspinal reminds me of the Ngannou situation. He also could have left the lhw belt to fight Cain or Jds but didn’t. He knows more than us…. If the money is right and he knows he can win, he takes the fight asap. Not the case with Francis or Tom.

He knows he’s in a good negotiating position with the belt, the bigger name and the undefeated record so he’s just negotiating. Once he gets an offer he likes he’ll fight but he’ll take his sweet ass time and be a pain in the ass first… he’s got the leverage so it’d be a mistake to just accept the first offer.

lol mental gymnastics. He had months if not years to get the pay of his life against Francis but begged to get cut. He could easily build up a mega fight by calling out Tom after beating Stipe… get into a scuffle and make that a Coner vs Habib type of megafight… calls out Pereira lol. Your hero is not what you think he is.

Nice question dodge.

Na, that guys been on some weird shit ok here for a while now

Literally having wet dreams about Tom's knee

 

[markys00]

I don't think many would be that surprised. Most people know in the back of their minds it's a very really possibility.

 

[GordonMMARamsey]

Honestly, this. While it's true that Tom is Jon's toughest fight in some time, probably since DC, Jon is a far better fighter than anyone Tom has fought, and he's likely going to be the best fighter Tom ever will fight. This is (on paper, anyway) a much closer fight than either side is willing to admit.

It's so hard for people to admit this lol.

 

[Gotosleepho]

Aspinall has a lot of advantages but I trust Jones' experience and fight IQ. I don't know how Jones will pull it off but I anticipate he will win somehow.

 

[mkess101]

It's so hard for people to admit this lol.

A prime Jon Jones that properly added weight I'd pick over Aspinall for sure. This Jon Jones is a LHW with a gut that's 38 years old.

Now, let me be clear. It's a testament to just how great a fighter he is that he can come in this way and dispatch guys like Gane and Stipe. (Yes, Stipe is even older and 4 yr layoff etc but hes still a HW fighter with some skills and Jon made it look easy). But Aspinall is just a different animal. Assuming we see the exact same Jones we saw vs Stipe, I can see the fight not looking competitive and Jon getting overwhelmed early with speed and power. But maybe Jon takes it more seriously and looks better because he knws he'll have to. We **maybe** haven't seen close to the best HW version of Jones. Or, it's just who he is now. Age etc has slowed him down. He's not capable of looking as sharp as he once did, especially if he's 240 lbs.

I think Jon is either the goat or second goat depending on what day I am thinking about this on, but do acknowledge his ped issues. Having said that I think aspinall is going to be a much tougher fight than Jon thinks it will be. Because if it stays standing for any significant amount of time I am very confident Tom gets into close striking range to throw one of his fast bombs thst have put plenty of natural HW’s on their ass. And Jon chin has been suspect with a few fights in LHW on the past, Tom hits much harder than any of those guys with the same speed. So all he has to do is close the gap distance wise and get inside and throw it and if it connects could very easily be night night for Jon. His strategy should be mixing wrestling with striking by when striking to keep as far a distance as possible while on his bike and trying to win on point fighting. Teeps and leg kicks and heavy jabs all while in constant motion. Don’t let Tom get too close and close the distance. And mix in the wrestling quite a bit, but the problem there is Tom has good grappling for a hw so I think Jon might hold a slight edge there, but I don’t think it will be significant enough to effect this fight much. And tom has good jiu jitsu on top of it so jon will need to worry about the threat of a submission. I just think tom is a very dangerous fight for Jon and I have to think at some point Tom his going to connect and crack him while getting inside and I think that will be the end of the fight.

I can here the excuses now…

“Tom was never that good, he didn’t beat anybody”

“Jones only won because he was high off steroids and sniffing the ashes of fetuses”

I think you're confusing him for me, actually. My accounts are always Dinosaur themed so that way people know it's me. (And yes, I hope Trump's tariffs destroys the American economy beyond repair. It's what what we deserve for putting that incompetent, senile old fool in office again, and for valuing the almighty dollar over people.)
For the record, I do think Jon beats Tom. Either by a finish in the later rounds if/when Tom gasses, or he will eke out a close decision like he did against Reyes and Gus. But to say "Tom has no real shot" is a bit, well, silly. As I mentioned in a previous post, Tom is probably Jon's toughest opponent since DC.

Don't be ridiculous. Jones drinks fetal blood and injects fetal stem cells in his testicles to boost testosterone production. He wears stylish fetus leather gloves and rolls dice carved from fetal skulls. You can't do these things if you burn the fetuses.

No I looked back and it was him. Maybe you are like minded ideologically with him...IDK. If so, seek help. Hoping that our entire society crumbles bringing untold misery to everyone (including hundreds of millions who also don't like Trump) is psychotic. And that's what he wants because like most Utopian delusionalists, he thinks plunging humanity into anarchy and the pain that brings is "worth it" in order to bring forth his vision of how we should live. Fucked up beyond description.

Anyway, back to the fight since this isn't the war room. Your view of the fight isn't unreasonable at all. Jones has shown incredible resilience and an ability to find opponents weaknesses. Can't argue that. I think this challenge is too much given the size/age/speed difference but I also would absolutely not be shocked of Jones again found a way.

I am a Marxist, and stupidity should be punished with pain. If a lot of people have to suffer in order for them to see the absurdity of conservative ideology, then so be it. And perhaps if Trump destroys the economy, it will lead to Americans finally abandoning the system that is holding humanity back as a species, capitalism. So it will ultimately be a good thing long term if so. The Luigi incident showed that people are already becoming open to revolutionary ideas.
Well at least we can agree when it comes to MMA. Yes, Tom certainly can win due to being younger and bigger, but with Jon being Jon, I won't be shocked at all if Jon finds a way to to win. And that's ultimately how I see the fight going down.

Hes a HW. I've been saying HWs have no chance against Jones for a decade.

Your MMA takes are kinda whacky, but from the sound of things, your political views are pretty based.

 

[Doughie99]

I will say it right now! Tom Aspinall has a punchers chance and his window of winning the fight closes in the first round heck not even first round but first minutes of first round where he has his explosiveness. Jon Jones is to smart to get caught by a one shoot he has fought gazilions of guys with one punch KO power etc etc.

The Amount of arsenal Jon Jones has is to great for Aspinall. Heck I won´t even be surprised if Jones finishes him in the first round.

Jones knows that Aspinall is same level as Ciryl Gane and past first round he is done. Tom Aspinall has never taken any of the shoots Jones is gonna throw at him and fighting chinny slow HWs is nothing compared to Jon Jones which is completely different world of difference. Throwing some haymakers at random heavyweights who have no IQ is nothing comparable to sharing an octagon with Jon Jones.

I don´t think Aspinall is ready because he has never seen adversary in his career aside from his knee injury and fight was stopped. Jon is intelligent, fast and lethal. He is experienced and has been thru wars and extremely elusive this will frustrate Aspinall from first few mins when he realize holyshxt this guy is elusive and he is hitting me everytime with something big. This will be the beginning of the end Aspinall will feel like a fish out of water..

Nope!

 

[orca]

And eventually one is going to be right. If Jon actually accepts this fight, Tom is going to be the one to do it. Beating up the ghost of Stipe has zero bearing on how a fight with Tom would go.

yes so you accept the fact that no one beats jones but jones and father time only
atleast you acknowledge that
its been almost 15 years
17 title fights
we aint even counting the title he won outside of the ufc

gsp in his prime has memes of him getting submitted and kod
thats hungry gsp
fedor in his early 30s also has memes of him like gsp

meanwhile 37 year old jones is still almost unstopable

Well he should stop ducking Tom so he can prove you right.

 

[Yutyrannus Huali]

Is Jones really "ducking" Tom though? It seems to me like Jon is trying to squeeze as much money as he can from uncle Dana. And there are reports that it apparently worked. If so, then that truly was a 4D chess move from Jones. To act like he's not interested in fighting Tom, just so he can get (in his own words) fuck you money if/when he does finally agree to fight Tom. Like the man or not.

Agreed TS, you are smart!
