Media The big announcement that Tom Aspinall announced to be announced today is that there's going to be a live announcement in December

[Only Here for Attachments]

What a plank. Who does this guy think he is?

 

[OldBoy91]

we have a lot of shows like this in the UK where you get sporting figures doing shows where they talk and fans get to ask questions and that

Yup. Aspinall was a part of one that Bisping did last year.

That's probably where he got the idea to do this.

Can't say I'm surprised, but I'm still disappointed. He could've just left it at today's announcement. I figured that was a really quick turn around as for a fight announcement and knowing Jones he isn't going to be quick on accepting a fight deal since apparently there needs to be "nEgOtIaTiOnS" before fighting the interim champ.

how is he going to sell tickets to an event without announcing it?

are you low on brain cells?

How many of you absolute cans were actually anticipating anything and have been literally let down? You sorry sons of bitches….

Announcements for announcements should not be forgotten as easily as they are , it’s a bit of a jerkoff thing to do

 

[don't ask]

hahahahaha this is like back in the day when Dana was crowing about a big announcement that would shock the world and change the MMA landscape forever. We all knew it was going to be about the legalization of MMA in NY, but at the very last minute they chose not to legalize it. This meant Dana had to do a huge press conference where he announced that he signed Vitor Belfort and one of the Fertitas was going to come over from the casino to help run the UFC. He had to do it all with a pained smile on his face as he tried to pretend this was going to change MMA forever.

Who pays money to go see a fighter speak
Sounds ghey and feke

Does he have a book coming out?
“How Jon Ducked me” - by Thomas Aspinall

Is the announcement going to be that some guy who had no business being in the cage died on the weekend fighting in some extremely low level promotion he is affiliated with?

 

[HHJ]

When Dana does this : FUCK YOU DANA U FUCKING SUCK FUCKING ASSHOLE

When Tom does it: ah you know what, it's not so bad and very understandable, I'm curious what the announcement will be lads!

It is totally understandable. The announcement also will be.

Fuckin not too bad lads.

Nope!

 

[whocares]

I've got two announcements to make!

You just heard em!

You possibly could be if you think I'm saying he should've made no announcement whatsoever. What I'm saying is he should have just "made the announcement" without "making an announcement of the announcement".

Jones suddenly forgets how to read

"I'm not a duck, though! You're all haters!"

fucking hell mate

are you new to social media and how the internet/life works?

you know when someone/something wants to announce something(i dont know why i am explaining this, but i am), they kind of hint at an announcement and give a date they are going to announce something..that is a bit of a thing from the past maybe 10 years

and you know you thought it was going to be about a Jones fight, which it was never going to be because, the UFC will probably want to announce that themselves, being the company who employs and promotes the these fighters

engage your brain you fucking idiot

 

[JohnMandick]

Dude you can't just drop tremendous news on us like this. You have to warm us up by announcing in a separate thread you have an announcement to make.

I think we'll eventually recover, but please try to be more civilized in the future.

Sherdog doesn't really do subtle/clever, but I appreciate you.

The reason people get excited about announcements= they aren't old enough to remember Geraldo and Al Capone's vault. "Big announcements" are almost never big announcements.
