He's just saying what we're all thinking. But it's a dead horse at this point. Continuing to talk about it doesn't help his case.

I was becoming a fan of Aspinall but this is too much. He should just accept that he’s not getting Jones before Stipe.

Just move on, fight the legit contenders and if the Jones fight happens it happens.

He’s starting to chase Jones like Chandler chasing McNuggets.

Tom needs to launch an offensive tirade of insults towards Jon just as Conor did to Aldo.

Dana giving Jones this “GOAT Privelege” although Jon has kinda earned it, this fight with Stipe is just obviously an insult to our intelligence. I don’t see how Dana would rather have Jon vs Stipe, Stipe isn’t exactly a big draw plus he’s older and the fight just doesn’t seem relevant or like a truly impressive victory.
With as much success as Jon as had, giving him a shoe horned win is just a waste of everyone’s time
Even if Tom does eventually get the fight, will there be those who say “Yeah but that isn’t prime Jon” just because of how long this is all taking.

Even if it’s assuming Jon beats Stipe I mean who doesn’t?

I get what you’re saying but why should he play along with this bullshit? Beat that dead horse for all to see imo, the more pressure the better. Not that he’ll listen but the fans are.

Yoooo Tommy Trump over here slowly winning me over bros Kube score prolly jump 100k affi him say dat test di yute again he might be di next HW champ

 

[PaddyO'malley]

Inb4 thread gets moved to di Hate Dungeon

 

[FilipEmoFights]

My brother this may be the only way for him to get the fight

I do not remember a time where a champion avoids contenders for essentially what a legacy victory is.. other then Conor with Nate and GSP with Hendricks

 

[AldoStillGoat]

Tom: I respect Stipe but here are some disrespectful comments

 

[Fact Checker]

He’s not wrong… Sleepy Stipe has become a nuisance at this point.


Bro is well past expired.

 

[KO Shotz]

We all feel ya Tom, but Jon & Stipe is happening.

 

[Portland8242]

No the UFC and Jones are still gonna play make-belief that Stipe is still in his prime and the most dangerous opponent available for Jones.

Talking doesn't apply more pressure. Winning more fights impressively does. Aspinall won the interim title at MSG (where he took zero damage), defended 8 months later (where he again took zero damage), and is now saying he won't fight anyone else.

Imagine Aspinall decided to be super active and defended his belt 2 or 3 times before the Jones-Stipe fight. Not only would that be great for his bank account (ppv points), but it would put enormous pressure on Jones/UFC. If he went the Alex Pereira route and beat Blaydes and Gane in quick succession, the hype would be through the roof.

Typed a long response but the damn page reloaded. I don’t disagree but I think the time is now. I tried too, but it’s 3 in the morning here, not doing that again. Have a good weekend.

Does the title really matter for this “super-fight?” It could still be marketed as “goat LHW vs goat HW” regardless & could still be a ppv main event.

Strip Jones due to injury & make him & Stipe for an interim/ts when he’s ready & make Tom vs whoever makes the most sense now for the title

Plus that puts the most pressure on the winner of Jones-Stipe (Jones) to fight one more time to get that title back & retire
