Tommy Boy Is In a Sh*T Spot. You gotta feel for him, no?

I respectfully disagree.

He has a STRONG fanbase within the hard-core fans in UK and USA, and let's be honest, we run shit.

He is authentic and isn't trying to put on some act or persona to try to be some character for the cameras. I prefer that.

Whenever his name is mentioned there is respect on that name.
He ran Jon Jones out of town. The consensus GOAT of the sport tucked tail and gave away his belt and a huge payday rather than face the ass kicking.


Casuals sell PPVs and drive the big PPV #s
But PPV is in hospice and scheduled for medically assisted end of life procedure in 2 months.

Future is bright for a HW that stacks bodies and delivers highlight KOs

I wouldn't say so. He reminds me of Jake Paul. In that sense, I think he’s doing pretty well, given the circumstances of his career and how good he actually is versus how the fans rate him. Now he has had everything in his life handed to him. But honestly? That’s what your parents are supposed to do for you.

"How good he is". Seems to have passed every test in the UFC so far with flying colors. Maybe that changes tomorrow or the next fight or the one after...but thus far I'd say he's awfully good. Wrecking half the top 10, all inside a round. Yeah, that's pretty damn good.

I know, "the fans" just don't have your incredible insight and eye for talent. 🙄

Only 2 bad things have happened to Tom in his UFC career, the knee injury vs. Blaydes, and Jones delaying him by being petty and unprofessional. He came out looking better after both setbacks. He's still going to be the HW GOAT within two years if he performs to his potential.

Love it

I'm European. But Mediterranean, so the loud side.

And what you Americans consider "dull" or "boring" doesn't cease to surprise me.
Tom is arguably, or at least he could consider himself, "the baddest man on Earth"... and behaves like a regular dude.
It's not over the top, obnoxious or trying too hard. That is likeable.

That said: your persona doesn't matter at all when you are a KO machine in the cage.

To start with, he's a damn good athlete and the HW champion of the world, but it's the division that universally is considered crap and at the end of the day, they put the strap on him after the widely considered GOAT of all this shit walked away.

His mic skills are horrible; he just seems so awkward whenever someone puts a mic in his face, like he’s really trying, but to no avail.

And beyond it all, he doesn’t seem to have any real fan base that you’d expect of the HW champion of the world. Getting booed stepping on the scale in Abu Dhabi? Anyone catch that shit before they cut away to like 5 guys cheering?

If you play ask a casual "who is Tom Aspinall?", I’d bet most wouldn’t know.

Am I way off, sherpimps?

His fists speak for themselves. And oh btw, don't forget the Heavyweight Division would be the ONLY division if the sport was open weight, which it once was, and maybe should still be. Except for a few LHW, including Jones. But Jones never did anything at HW before he retired, so even that is debatable.

He even looks like Jake Paul. And he fights like him.
 
Dumb and ugly is never an easy hand to play.

I don’t feel bad for him though, he should have just kept his mouth shut and not pissed off Jones with the duck talk.
 
idk how someone can be a bad spot being a UFC champ with a weak division ?? that just means more paydays. Most UFC contenders would gladly trade in popularity for gold and ppv points.

He is big in the UK and they support their own (unlike american fighters). And most of the world speaks or understands english... not portuguese, russian, or french.

Jon got so angry he's popping chubbies while playing with that weird little Hasbulah guy. 🤣

Which is why Dana is desperate to get Tom on the White House card right? No, that's Conor actually, a guy who hasn't won a fight in 5 years. The casuals run things and who are most pandered to by the UFC. I actually like Tom but that's the truth.
