Media Tom Aspinall: Have Meeting W/ UFC Discussing "Alternative" Opponents

It would be nice if there was a separate section for all the news/whining about Jones fighting Aspinall.
This shit has been clogging up the board for way too long.
 
This is exactly what Jones was hoping for. Tom takes a fight, loses and Jones says "You see guys? He was a bum" and then sits out waiting for another super fight or just retires.
Na, he's not going to get away with that again. He's gonna get stripped for what, the third time? A record third time being stripped of a title?
 
Well, there is a direct contradiction if I ever read one.
 
Aspinall stops Jones with strikes, don’t @ me.
 
The UFC not paying is also Jones ducking because Jones would purposefully be pricing himself out. You don't need fucking $30M to do your job. So fighters should get paid more for fights they're afraid to lose in?
Yeah, why should fighters demand huge amounts of money for big-time fights like this. It cuts into the UFC’s bottom line. I mean Dana White has yacht payments to make..
 
Jon will wait to see how Big Ank vs Poatan II plays out. After that he might have a fight or retirement. In any case that opponent won't be Tom :D

Exactly my thoughts. The 6 months thing is to see if Poatan could regain his title so that he could duck Aspinall and claim to want to fight "legends" LOL

The point is that Jon himself knows he's way more likely to lose to Aspinall than Stipe or Gane. Because of that, he demands way more money for Aspinall.

If every champ did that, HW wouldn't be the only division in disarray and it would of course be bad for the fans.

Why would the Aspinall fight be bigger, since we have heard all about how Aspinall isn't a star and that Jones wants to fight legends?

I hear yah, but it would get less traffic though.
 
better not be gane

He totally lost the volkov fight. That fight was called a robbery by everybody. They did it to by order of the UFC to make Jon's win age better

robbery wins should be treated like losses as far as match making goes. No title shots coming off robbery wins

Tom vs Gane or Jailton are decent enough fights. Even though Gane doesnt really deserve yet another title shot off the back of doing basically nothing.
Of course, the Volkov decision was a robbery. Volkov beat Pavlovich and Gane back to back, he's the top contender, and I hate that him getting robbed ends up being a good thing for fans cause we get to see Tom vs. Gane instead of a rematch.
