No but I think he's a much better technical striker with better timing, accuracy, and speed.

Timing, accuracy, sure. But I'm not sure what his speed would look like at HW. His TDD would be a seriously liability. If Tom got him down like Jiri did, that fight would be over.

Tom's also never made it past the second round. Shane Carwin looked like a killer too until he got to the second round.

Aspinall is still so unproven, people don't get it. Poatan has showed us championship resilience , Tom hasn't.
 
Just watched Blaydes vs Aspinall. Aspinall can't even throw a kick without hurting himself! what a joke. Imagine what Poatan will do with his vicious leg kicks.

This is a bad comparison. Poatan has showed us his championship resilience against another kickboxer in Adesanya at 185. The hole in his game is his TDD. It was obvious at 185 and at 205 when Jiri took him down. Those guys weren't great at taking advantage of it. Aspinall would leave no doubt and it would be his choice. Either vicious GnP or any sort of sub that he wanted. He has that aspect to his game that NONE of the people that Poatan has fought so far have had.

No, Poatan showed us his championship resilience against Jan and Jiri, not Adesanya.

Really? A comeback KO against a dominant champion doesn't qualify? While a controversial decision against a 40 year old (coming off a fight he should have lost) in a 3 round fight, and beating Jiri, who had to pull a huge comeback vs Glover to win the title, and then spent 18 months on the shelf with a major shoulder injury.

Which one of those guys has the speed, power, and grappling skill that Aspinall has?

Go watch Blaydes vs Aspinall, It's on youtube. Aspinall throws a weak leg kick and crumples to the ground in pain. Show me another champion who hurts himself like that 15 seconds into the fight.

I HOPE you're just trolling.

I thought Aspinall was scared and looking for a way out.
 
Hope this ends with quick RNC submission, so Pereiera doesn't get too much damage and it doesn't fuck up LHW division again. We may see a rapid decline of Poatan if he get's KO'd badly by a 265lbs world class heavyweight, kind of a stupid fight.
 
I voted no but majority voted yes so I am in the wrong and the real answer is yes.

Dana should book this fight. At least majority of us the sherdoggers will be happy. Seems they lost the casuals for this one.

It wouldnt shock me if they stepped away from numbered events in even or two. Seems hard to match expectations.
