Media Tom Aspinall: "Heavyweight Fights STINK - STOP Holding It Up (Jon)"

To be fair, Aspinall would've tried to wrestle Rozenstruik, just like he wrestled Volkov. I don't think his fight with Volkov was or with Rozenstruik would've been much more entertaining than Sergei's fights if at all.

I wanted to see Aspinall vs Gane but it appears Gane still hasn't fixed his dogshit grappling of his. I don't think Jones wants that smoke either.

I wouldn't mind Almeida vs Aspinall, but most compelling heavyweight fight right now might be Nemkov vs Aspinall.

HW division is really, really lacking right now...I think it's hands down the worst division including WMMA divisions unless you count WMMA featherweight division as something that exists.

The old way of UFC of always putting heavyweights on main cards because it draws or whatever needs to seriously stop. It just means worse fights, especially today when there's a bunch of lighter divisions with super skilled fighters.
 
Personally, I don't care where the fights get placed, as long as we get good fights.

But man, HW is definitely barren. As boring as Romanov is, they shouldn't have let him walk and not renew his contract.

About the main card placement though, I think it's almost at random tbh. They don't seem to give a single fcuk lol.

Difference is that he would've attempted to do something when he had Jairzinho down instead of just holding him.

With Volkov he fought a relatively high paced (for heavyweight) fight where he got a submission. How is that the same level of entertainment as staying at range out of fear of being countered and holding down a kickboxer who can't grapple whilst doing no damage?
 
This guy entre live revolves around Jones lol, worse than the dumped ex.

Yeah but it wouldn't have been that much entertaining style of fights is all I'm saying. Aspinall shines against grapplers mostly because he is a good grappler himself.

He couldn't even do much against completely washed up Arlovski on the feet. He's a sniper, but he's not a puncher like some HW knock out artists.

There's nothing wrong with that though. All I'm saying is his fights against same opponents wouldn't have been that much more exciting since he's talking shit about them absolutely sucking.

He didn't finish Arlovski on the feet but got close with his flurry against the fence. That was also pretty early in his UFC run, and based on his later performances I think that he fought the best against the higher levels of competition anyway.


As for his criticism, we're talking pure hypotheticals at this point. I think he does have the right to say it as he hasn't really had a stinker yet. He's shown to be very aggressive on the feet and on the ground and just watched one of his peers lay on top of a guy who didn't have much for him there. Rozenstruik couldn't even get up, had Pavlovich at least tried to land some GnP he might've actually gotten a finish.

Wasn't even close with that flurry.

All I'm saying is, he was talking shit about them absolutely sucking, his fights against same opponents, he likely would've wrestled and probably not any more exciting.

That's all I'm saying really. Aspinall is a special talent.
 
It's true.
The only exciting fight at HW right now is Jon vs Tom.
