Though Date Remains Unknown, Tom Aspinall Staying Sharp for Jon Jones Fight

[Legendary]

I dont think its happening if I had to base it on feel. Seems like it would have been announced by now when the iron was hot.

Everyone's saying Jon's ducking now, but we'll see what the narrative is once he retires and starts running a shelter for abused women. And Tom's still calling him out, as if some pointless fight that does nothing for Jon's legacy is more important than the well being of those young women. Tom's a rude, selfish lout. Jones bless.

In other news... the Titanic sinks.

Jon won't be able to freeze Tom out indefinitely though. If Jon wants to prove a point and really isn't scared to fight Tom, the longer he waits for the fight the more it works against him.

 

[TrueBias]

Again, this chasing a fighter shit is fruitless.

Having a belt, Interim sure, it gives weight. Best for Tom to keep fighting, stay relevant, defend/get better, and keep picking on jon for bitching out. However keep that LIGHT.

Jon will say hes great, not fight, maybe even retire, but tom is clocking in to work, gaining the spotlight.

These guys gotta remember, if you're in the spotlight, take advantage while you're young and healthy. When asked about the big names, that's when they should remind folks that guys like JON is the bitch. Remind fans hes challenged him, do it again in the interview, then move on!

Chandler showed exactly how not to do this. Tom has a belt, therefore he has value. It's not their fault if the opponent doesnt want to fight, but it is their fault to dwell.

Excellent, his wife, kids, and the pregnant lady can be his first in-patients.

Of course. Jon's overriding legacy far above his fighting career is his undying love and support of family and his commitment to God.

I really do wonder if Jon is trying to wait Tom out.

Tom is vocal that he wants to fight and stay active, Jones however might just sit out so long that it'll frustrate Tom into taking a fight and then Jones will go running immediately to the UFC and try to get the Pereira fight made since "Tom's already booked, why does it matter?"

I could eat

What was the other plan?

Just fart around and not train while waiting for the phone to ring for a fight

Guys need to be ready year-round if not injured

I’m not saying peak-performance, just staying sharp all the time. The cardio can be hammered-in actual fight training camp once a match starts to line-up

 

[Arm Barbarian]

Not holding my breath that fight actually happens, but I hope Tom whoops Picto if it ever does.

 

[snugglecakes]

and jon is staying ducked behind a pay wall of cope

That’s the craziest milkshake I’ve ever seen
I’d buy that

 

[TankAbbott4Eva]

I've never thought this fight would happen anyway.

 

[Lord Pyjamas]

How sharp is the question?
Jones is still ready to go after some party nights waking up in the shitter.
If they are using the same scale Aspinal might actually be dead instead.
How do we differ between them?

Aspinall leaving no stone unturned. I see he has been going out to the Netherlands to spar with Rico V. He certainly has the mindset of the Champion.

Jones meanwhile I'm sure will be focusing on how he can stop Aspinall.and for some reason I can help thinking he will try and disable Aspinall and cripple him with that sicky Obliquey techniquey.

 

[BigDeadFreak]

I have a better chance of reading the current thread format than this guy does of fighting Jon

I'm glad it's not just me. It's fucking horrendous.

Ridiculous
