I love listening to fun and exciting music and going for long walks out in beautiful nature just to take in the fresh air. I did try scuba diving once but other than that I'm open to anything.

You're literally not even trying with this one sir.
Aspinall would beat the piss out of Stipe, and his grappling is pretty damn good so, I'm not sure where you're coming from that Tom has nothing.

If you could listen to music while scuba diving I bet you'd do more scuba diving lol.

Honestly, I'm leaning that way too. Stipe is probably the greatest heavyweight the UFC has ever had, has excellent striking and wrestling, and has only lost once without being knocked out (and you know Jones isn't going to KO him). Of course, he'll also be 42 this year and hasn't fought in three years.
That said, we know Stipe can go five rounds. The only time Aspinall has had a fight longer than 7 minutes, he's lost. What happens when he can't KO Jones? What happens when he can't take Jones down? What happens when the fight goes past the second round and he's got no gas left in the tank?
I just don't see Jones losing by finish to anyone, and if the fight goes 25 minutes, I like Stipe's chances a whole lot better than I like Aspinall's.

Stipe is nothing at this point. In his 40s, hasnt fought since he got knocked out 3 years ago, 1-1 this decade with the win being against a guy who was already in his 40s at the time and retired right after. He hasnt beat anyone other than DC in over SIX YEARS.
He is not even part of the division anymore really. Most likely if he had actually been fighting the last few years he would have multiple losses to multiple opponents by now.

People will make fuss. Nobody really cares about the contenders because they are all Jones haters. Look at Pavlovich's support? We don't hear a peep about him anymore.

I see the irony. Jones is desperate to fight Stipe because he's old and shot but he's still a famous HW. If he ever fights Aspinall, which I doubt, he'll cheat even more than he usually does.

ngannou would be less of a challenge than gane. Stipe would have given him a good go back in the day - STIPE!!!!

No. No one would be screaming for Jones to fight a retired former champion... until Jones wanted it, then certain fans would parrot it.
