What’s your point? Do you remember any fights where speed play a factor in wrecking an opponent?

Kai kara france VS Cody Garbrant?

You could argue Aspinall does have some shades of Frank Mir to him, big powerful/fast BJJ guy who also shows more raw striking ability but I think we can say already that he's less passive than Mir, more willing to make his own openings. Still though there are definate big unknown around him still and Blaydes is obviously not a pushover, how aggressive BJJ fighters deal with controling wrestlers as well can vary significantly.

I would say style wise though this seems like it maybe a bad fight for Bladyes, if you've been shown to be rather flakey yourself then fighting someone with what looks like strong finishing ability werever the fight goes is not really idea.

Yeah.. especially when considering Blaydes has only lost to guys with strong finishing ability like Fraincis, Pav and Derrick. Another thing is Blaydes always fumbles the bag in big fights but I'm pretty sure that's a mental thing more than a skill or fight IQ issue because he does all the right shit in fights that don't have great importance, but ends up doing all the wrong shit when something is on the line.

What Tom Aspinall hate? the ratio of Tom haters and glazers are stupidly disproportionate. For every Tom hater there's 5 Tom Glazers on these boards, maybe even more.

It’s crazy that everyone licks his balls but Jones who has literally beaten everyone gets doubted.
It’s the same with Francis. These cucks fantasize but I’m going with the one who’s proves.
Jon Jones would make Ngannuo look like a PFL’r.

it's a damn shame if Jones immediatrely retires after the Miocic fight.

IF he wins that Miocic fight and truly believes that he is the GOAT.....then why not SHOW US by having a HW showdown with Aspinall?? Beat Miocic, and then beat Aspinall and that would be like "ok dude, yep, we see now".

Aspinall would be the acid test. I do think UFC might have made a mistake paying jones about 15million (if thats true) for the Miocic fight because once you pay any fighter that kinda money, their inclination to continue fighting might easily drop to zero.

Dana ain't stupid and I am sure he will try every trick he has got to get Jones to carry on after the November fight. Bit like he tried very very hard to get Khabib to carry on .....but ....that didn't work.

Why do you feel that aspinall is essential for jones? He’s already done more than anyone in the sport.

 

[nostradumbass]

To all the Jones haters:

If Jones faces and beats Aspinall, it won’t help his already GOAT legacy, it’ll just mean to fans that aspinall was “never that good.”

The GOAT knows this, so why bother?

I’d love to see the fight, but it isn’t some “seal the deal” kinda thing like people make it out to be. Jones is already miles ahead in GOAT status.

A win over Tom is a legitimate title defense against the interim champ, a win over Stipe is Jon skipping over the interim champ to pull a senior citizen out of years of retirement.

Jon isn't cherry picking opponents because of what he gains, he's doing it because of what he's scared to lose.

who cares about the HW belt really bro?
even if jones didnt fought at HW
he still is the GOAT

the fact of the matter is aspinal is a nobody
who in the universe thinks fighting a nobody
is better than fighting the HW GOAT
stipe is 2-1 in his last 3 fights
he has wins over nganou and dc

even a fight with pereira is 100x more better than a fight with a nobody

 

[orca]

It's sure better for his legacy, than going out as a duck.

And there is much more chance of fans saying Stipe is old and washed up if Jon beats him, than that people will say Aspinall was never that good.

I know 'he was never that good" is kind of a meme on here. But everytime someone says that about a fighter, it's always a very small minority of people and the rest of the forum is basically dunking on them. So it's not really representative of most fans.

just like gsp fighting bisping
lol bro i never heard anyone here saying gsp is ducking
maybe hes a good guy persona

just admit that u hate jones
u hate the fact that hes gonna win and add a great name on his resume
you even ignore the fact that he started young he literaly fought all kinds of monsters

Just admit you are a blind nuthugger. Like in this instance your love for Jon blinded you from the fact that GSP wasn't the champ when fighting Bisping, so he had no obligations that he was ducking


I didn't ignore what Jon did when he was young, it just wasn't relevant because it's not the topic of discussion.

Jon obviously cares about it. If he doesn't then he should relinquish it and have his seniors tour matchups, but we all know he does want the belt, but is scared that the "nobody" is bigger, stronger and faster than him, and he doesn't really even have a game plan for where to avoid danger because he could get finished on the feet or on the ground.

Stipe beat Ngannou 6 1/2 years, then got flatlined by him 3 years later and hasn't fought since. Fedor's the actual HW goat, and it wouldn't be impressive for Jon to bypass current fighters to fight him either.

But when people bring up notable wins Jones has, Stipe would be mentioned. If Jones beats aspinal, and aspinal goes on a skid afterwards, he wouldn’t be mentioned

 

[Iroh]

Only by absolute casuals. People who know and understand the sport would say a win over a old, retired Stipe isn't such a great win, especially compared to a win over a Tom who is young and looking unstoppable, besides a freak injury. Although a lot of casuals probably don't even know or respect Stipe. He was never a popular champ at all.

And that whole going on a skid afterwards is just wishful thinking by Jon's fans, because that hypothetical is the only case that their argument makes only a tiny bit of sense.

But on the other hand, if Tom isn't going on a skid, but actually racks up some more wins instead, then Jon will only look more like a duck to everybody, afterwards.

 

[nostradumbass]

No he wouldn't though. As much as Jon wants to get credit for it being an incredible win, it would be more like Islam beating Poirier, and then annoucing that he's going for the LW defense record against BJ Penn, since BJ is a bigger name and is a former champ with the 3 defenses that Islam is trying to break, and is going to retire with the record after. If they billed it as "the #1 p4p fighter against the greatest LW of all time", would anybody believe it and be super pumped about the awesome matchup, or would they rightly say he's just trying to kick the crap out of an old man to avoid the risk of losing?
