Media Tom Aspinall TKO Curtis Blaydes GIFS

I don't think it was that early either.

When Curtis went down, Tom tagged him with 2 hard rights under Tom's armpit and Curtis went flat belly-down. It's a bad look, especially with Tom keeping Curtis from getting up and continuing to spam hooks to the head.

Even if you think it was a bit early, that fight was over. Ref saved Curtis from taking damage that wouldn't have changed the outcome.
We don't want another Bobby Green incident
 
It sucked to see my boy blaydes go out like that. His striking was looking pretty good up until that finishing sequence. I'd like to see Curtis rematch Pav at some point and get that one back. I think this version we saw vs Tom beats this current version of Pav.

Blaydes looked sharp. He tagged Aspinall a few times, I actually thought he was setting things up to land a killing blow

Tom just seems to be on another level. He's one tapping dudes like crazy. I'm almost worried he's a fluke because nobody can stay awake long enough to test him currently

Gane is the only dude I could see being able to take Tom into deep waters as long as the fight stays standing. Gane is not an easy dude to hit clean and Tom showed he is hittable and has holes in his striking defense after tonight. Tom don't seem to want to fight Gane at all though. He went out of his way to not mention his name in the post presser.

To be fair Jones is the only fight that makes sense

I think he wrecks Gane. Since the Tuivasa fight I think he's shown to be a tad overrated. He got dropped and rocked quite a bit, Tom keeps the streak of minute long victories

He does what Jones did to Gane on the mat, but standing
 
Did the right hand even land? I still can't tell

Jon is the fight that makes sense and should certainly happen or at least it should be whoever the winner of JJ vs Stipe is. I'm just talking hypothetically. If Tom takes Gane down I certainly think he can wreck him but I just don't agree with him getting wrecked in the stand up. Yes Gane got dropped by Tuivasa but he recovered very well and I don't think that one instance is really enough to write him off. Everyone has a shitty moment at one time or another. Gane was able to avoid getting KTFO by Francis for 5 rounds and displayed a striking defense master class.
 
I wouldn't go that far, but it's great to see a throw back HW with a legitimate well rounded skill set.

We've waited a long time for this type of HW, let's enjoy it while it lasts.
Aspinalls speed is ridiculous for a HW. Blades is not slow by any means and Aspinall looked wa faster. Couple that with an extremely well rounded game and power, and I don't see anyone beating Aspinall. You'll have to knock Tom out to beat him imo.

I can see him getting tagged early and put down, much like Cain it he has the ability to get hit hard early. But once he finds his rhythm he's a lot to handle
 
It was early.

Sorry but I just don't see it, guy gets dropped, rolls to his belly and is getting blasted with GnP from the side whilst doing nothing to improve position I think it gets stopped most of the time.

If Bladyes wasn't badly hurt(and looking at it again I think he was) then he folded mentally here and was looking for a way out.
