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

[moreorless87]

Yep he will, by never fighting him.

 

[nonoob]

It’s on video for everybody to see that Tom gets punched 2x and is falling back and down before he ever grabs his leg too when he steps back trying to stay upright.

Legitimate finish and injury caused by Blaydes due to his shitty defence.

Have fun though.

​

It’s quite infuriating seeing someone flat out lie to themselves like this. I wonder what you see when you look in the mirror.

​

Jones also has never fought someone as big as Tom with his speed, skill set on the feet and ground. The closest thing was him training with Reem and Arlovski both of whom sonned him and then that skirmish with Mir... again sonned

Should be a great fight.

Would be a great fight. Can't see it ever happen because of coward Jones.

 

[Meathead Jock]

I have Tom winning. But if they fight and Jones wins, that'd be pretty awesome to see. Honestly it's a fight where I'd be happy with either guy winning. Jon takes out any argument over being the GOAT with a win. While a Tom win gives the UFC a high level knockout heavyweight for the long future.

 

[DrunkMonkMeth]

What do you think happens when jones wins. Does he finally get the credit or do we get Tom was never that good

Both of course

 

[joy2day]

People are so gaslit and delusional around Jones. He has multiple controversial decisions against lesser competition at LHW, then won against a senior citizen and a guy with no ground game at HW. Nothing in his history would suggest he can beat someone with the size and well-rounded skills of Tom.

 

[JakePaulMMA]

well lets hope the fight gets booked so we can unify the titles.
Would be cool.

All that matters

The great white hype vs Jon Beergut Jones

 

[Pilo]

I was an absolute non-believer in Jon Jones' success at HW before the Gane fight, so I'm not making that mistake again.

Aspinall is really good, he is huge, and he's capable of finishing fights anywhere, but Jon Jones' athleticism and well-roundedness at HW are just a superior features that other HWs don't have. Aspinall yet has to enter round 3 in his career. I think that's a huge X-factor against a guy like Jones.

I think Jones is the man to derail the Aspinall hype train.

 

[Tweak896]

Why are you bizarrely obsessed about trying to reinjure a guys leg that appears stronger than ever as if that is the only factor at play

It's as strange as it is creepy

Why do you think it's more likely Jones chin gets cracked than Aspinall's leg gets reinjured? One of these events have happened before.

The great white hype vs Jon Beergut Jones

It's not a movie I revisited to check on my nostalgia glasses, but I fully loved this movie as a kid and was surprised how many people didn't like it

 

[spinup]

Jones knows that Aspinall is same level as Ciryl Gane and past first round he is done.

Why is he ducking then?

 

[Ibm]

Gane had an off day. I think on his A game, he'd damage Jones bad in the standup, but grappling is where hes good. Afte the Stipe fight we cant argue he has a chance against any HW.

 

[SuperNerd]

There are two popular opinions on this fight that get repeated with different words.

1 - There are two HW champions and they should fight. It would be fun, and it makes sense.
2 - Jon would win, and shouldn't fight Tom, because you just hate Jon and love Tom.

I'm so bored of it.

 

[jitzmonkey]

As a ln in cage competitor, JBJ is one of my AT favorites.
That said, due to his last 5 cumulative performances, and the fact that he’s a bit of a “basket case” (to say the least,) old, etc… makes him more than a bit of a wild card; and difficult to predict.





All the commas

Jon beating Tom isn't going to overturn his failed drug tests so it can't take out all arguments against his place in history.

One oblique kick Toms whole gameplan is out the door.

One oblique kick Toms whole gameplan is out the door.

I'm sure that, if the fight happens, Tom will gameplan for Jones' various front and side kicks to the body and knees. Of course that means that his usual gameplan will change considerably, making the course of the fight rather hard to predict. I strongly suspect we'd see at least a second round as Aspinall and Jones both test out variations of gameplans and look for detailed corner feedback before committing to a strong attack.
