Media Prediction: Will Tom Aspinall fight Gane again?

[nostradumbass]

They need to tape Gane's fingers together for the fight so he can focus on nut shots and back of the head strikes instead of pushing his fingers into everyone's face anytime they get close.

He’s obligated to in my opinion. His business with Gane is not settled. I’ve refrained from criticizing him because I think fighters are not obligated to continue after a foul. But delaying or refusing the rematch would absolutely warrant criticism.

 

[StoneWT]

Tom will beat Gane's ass next time. Gane wouldn't have cheated like he did unless he felt he would lose if he fought clean. Tom will be better prepared for the eye grapes, nut rockets, and back of the head shots.

hes gonna call jones fight again
even though he knows it wont happen
because jones is fighting a legit 2 division champ in pereira

then he will brag about it again like hes some kind of a newbreed well rounded fighter that old fighters are scared of

Why would he call out a guy who is clearly too scared to fight Tom?? Whatever happens in the rest of Aspinalls career, it doesn't change the fact that Jones was involved in possibly the worst case of ducking a fighter in MMA history. Nothing is gonna change that!

 

[Intermission]

Tom needs to fight a classy guy like jones instead

Meh. Gane has had 3 chances to fight for a championship and shit the bed every time. Being punished by not getting an automatic rematch would be just. Its not going to happen. but it would be sweet if it did

Cyril has no one to blame for his lost opportunity but himself. He should have kept his fists closed in the standup. This isn't something new, eye gouging has been illegal since UFC 1.

You don’t have to keep your fist closed, no one kicks with a closed fist.

The standard is to keep your fingers pointed up. Which it was, he palmed off the face with his fingers up.

Just shut the fuck up, get your kid in shape and show up on the date specified.

And the reality is that we are seeing far more frequency of them the older the sport gets.

That could be related to incident/volume of fighter ratios, but I'd still contend it's getting progressively worse regardless.

 

[humdizzle]

he kind of has to. Majority of people thought Gane was winning up until the poke, the betting lines have tightened up.

if he doesn't he'll look like he's ducking.

Oh I completely understand that. However, it certainly helps to not poke someone in both of their eyes. If he was afraid of the takedown he should learn to sprawl. Cyril has plenty of 'accidental' fouls in many of his fights with the UFC. This was his 4th time fighting to be champ, you think he'd clean it up.

 

[RockyLockridge]

As long as the vision issue is cleared up, im sure Tom would do the rematch next month if he could, if the UFC can do that or ASAP.

he wouldn't dare.

Heavyweight division is dead. Barely anyone cared about this fight before it happened but now it has a ton of interest and has unanswered questions. Volkov can sit out for awhile and wait for his shot, it's not like the division is filled with potential title challengers like WW or MW.

 

[KO Shotz]

Tom got 2 fights left on his contract. He will fight Gane in a rescheduled bout & then Pereira.

 

[jjjjjjjjjjohnny]

Gane is the only one who received consequences for Tom pulling out.

Pereira got fraud checked by Izzy , that's why Jones chose to fight him. He knows Aspinall will walk through his pillow fist hands and baby kicks.

 

[Hdfi]

If it were me, the consequence would be that I would use micro glass powder on my fingers and then sink my fingers so deeply into Gane's eyes that he would become permanently blind.

 

[wrb]

I know its beautiful, its what happens when people think the are "being clever". Never have I seen a guy fuck up so many opportunities, he even lost to Volkov 6 months ago and some how got another shot.

 

[Dorkman]

He's cornered into it basically. If he dosen't it will hang over his title reign.
