Tom Aspinall Trolls UFC for Stagnation in Career

[TeenageMutantLesnarTurtle]

He's ducking an entire division under the guise of waiting to fight a retired fighter.

Ducking a division that hes almost cleared out already....

If people who have lots of gold put it all on the market to sell as quickly as possible, instead of trickling it bit by bit, what do you think would happen to the gold, and its price?

The gold for Aspinall isn't that collection of contenders with a mix of recent wins and losses vs each other and other contenders Tom already beat. Aspinall didn't dethrone or beat a champion in the cage, it's why he wants to be an active champ and fight 4 times a year to establish credibility to his reign ASAP. Waiting to fight these guys only runs the risk of them continuing a round robin of fighting each other and collectively dropping their value as title challengers.

Look at how LHW champ Poatan was creating waves of hype over that group as a potential HW opponent for Jones or Aspinall, then he lost and now it's like no one cares. Gane and Jailton are barely holding interest as contenders only because they haven't lost to Tom yet, but their other losses in the division have people less interested. Might as well get them in there before they lose again like Gane basically did.

The "gold" for Tom, the big money fights are either guys coming from other orgs and establishing themselves as threats. A prospect rising up and being seen as a legit untarnished contender or the off chance that a former champ like Jones or Ngannou returns. The current top contenders are just grade A fodder for his highlight reel to set some divisional records and gain him some in-cage validation after not getting the Jones fight. Everyone expects these fights to happen and for Tom to win, but the excitement and big money will be from new guys on winning streaks who look like they might be unstoppable or a new kind of challenge.

I don't expect him to fight four times a year because negotiations and injuries create delays, but 2 years of cleaning out and lapping the top guys is plenty of time for new opposition to surface. That's how I see it.

I don't understand Dana.

We've got a potential superstar on our hands and these clowns are just slowrolling him.

UFC is dying.

2 freaking years without a proper HW title fight. Why is the UFC taking forever to announce this fight?

 

[Oz.Pride]

Here we go, the excuses are here. Right on time.

There's a reason the term Whinging Pom exists, and Tom is all about that life.

 

[The Bloody Nine]

His next fight is signed. He's just waiting for the UFC to announce it publicly.


When asked how he felt when Jones finally confirmed his retirement, Aspinall said: "Relief. I’m just relieved that’s over and I now have a fight which I can’t announce unfortunately but at least we’ve got a date, we’ve got an opponent to work towards and I can finally get my career going again.

"It’s going to be a little more international the first one [but] if I can fight in the UK every fight I would."

Tom really brings out the 'tards.

What excuses?

Wait his nickname is Honey Badger?

What do Dana and Jon have in common? They're both Trump cucks

Very relevant to the topic at hand.

I've been told they're paying Tom in lieu of offering fights. Could be, but it's hard for me to believe that with how thoroughly stingy TKO is.

They don't have a choice.
Either they offer fights, or they have to compensate.
They probabably find it is more economic for them to pay him than arranging shitty rematches.

 

[mkess101]

are you responsible for your career or someone else?

That's an irrelevant, moronic question as it pertains to this situation. Aspinall is under contract. He doesn't schedule fights. He's presented a bout agreement and can sign or not.

You're acting like an employer that has an employee under contract doesn't have any control over what the employee does. Are you actually unaware of how society operates?

Terrific reply, concession accepted bro.

Come on mate, you've got to be realistic about these things.

What do  you think is happening here? Do you think Tom is complaining that he doesn't have a fight lined up? Let us know what reality is to you

He is pre loading "ring rust is UFCs fault" for when he inevitably loses.

you avoided a basic yes or no question with screeching

If Gane lands a lucky shot and flatlines this boob...

That would be the worst case scenario. Imagine that we go through all of this for Cyril Gane to KO Aspinall.
