[fries in the bag]

"You guys just keep making me richer" - Jones

Fans being pissed off about the fight delay is playing into Jones' hands,
because he will get more $$$ from PPV points fueled by hype.

Now that we know it's actually happening....

This thread will be about how the fight goes down.
Who wins and how?

 

[Conan the K-9]

The ship sailed already. Zero interest in this fatso division fight. They should have made it a year ago.

 

[PeterGriffin]

Why post from a sock account?

"You guys just keep making me richer" - Jones

Jon stole this line from his coke dealer.

 

[World eater]

Without any sarcasm, I want this fight to happen and am looking forward to it. If pressed, I’d say Jones takes it, but Tom winning would be good for the “sport”.

 

[Fergelmince]

Maybe not as quickly, but Aspinall will suffer the same fate as Gane did against Jones.

 

[Alpha_T83]

Bro watch the entire press conference. Dana was NOT SURE the fight was happening for the entire press conference, and then after being asked about the fight like 10 times, at the very end of the press conference he says "Jon agreed to that fight."

Why didn't he say that the first time he was asked the question? And Dana has been saying for months now "we'll figure that fight out in the next two weeks".

 

[podsox]

Dana looked defeated when talking about that fight last night

 

[JBJ was here]

If motivated Jones shows up he's the slight-to-moderate favorite; if the other Jones shows up then Aspinall is the heavy favorite. Hard to say which one will show up. Jones clearly isn't particularly interested in fighting Aspinall but he does seem more interested than ever in not losing so there's a fair shot that motivated Jones shows up if the fight actually happens but it's far from being a sure thing.

If Jon can get an early takedown and do damage, he has a real shot.

If he can't, he gets knocked out early. Aspinall has a massive speed and power advantage, and Jones has nothing to fire back with. He doesn’t even have the proverbial punchers chance as he has less power than Strickland.

I'd like to see the fight as well. I hate Jon and want to see him lose. I think Aspinall wins.

But honestly I just want to see the HW division move on. If Jon wins, so be it.

 

[Tweak896]

I honestly think Aspinall won't be as bold with his strikes against Jones. Jones has a really high fighting IQ to get caught like Pavlovich or Blaydes. Aspinall might have size, but Jones grappling has to be a higher level. I don't think Aspinall has touch of death like Ngannou had.

Jones tests his wrestling more than a 10 day Spivac, who is the only guy Aspinall has defended a takedown. Might even test his cardio. I think Jones wins a late tko or decision, depending on Aspinall's cardio, which is unknown.

Going to be great to see what Sherdog says afterwards. I bet the new narrative would be, "HW is a dog shit division, was Jones scared to move up when HWs were good?"

If Jones sacked up and fought/beat Tom nobody would have shit to say

 

[Marko Polo]

Wasteland

You would be surprised. I've read speculation since Jones vacated his belt in 2020. First was he would never move to HW. Next it was Gane and Blaydes are nightmare matchups. Then it was Pavlovich is the real killer. After Tom beat him, he took the Pavlovich hype. It's pretty wild how much people hate Jones. I think Jones is almost sociopathic about it, and know the hate brings views and doesn't care, so is happy to take the heat and troll people. So you got him embracing the duck and hinting he's only fighting Pereira.

 

[Rampage_Jackson]

if anyone called Gane a nightmare matchup for Jones they should not be allowed to discuss MMA publicly

 

[Ronald Ringpiece]

I don't think Aspinall has touch of death like Ngannou had.

I think Aspinall's record confirms he has.

Jones is ducking. Aspinall already won.

Imagine being a career HW who fought at LHW while on gear? Now Jones is old and he wants an excuse to dodge young guys when he made a career on that fighting past prime greats.

 

[YourBoss]

Aspinall smokes him, it will look like he is moving twice as fast as Jon and he will ko him in the first round.

UFC 317 and UFC 322 lol so cute, you're just coming up with random things in your mind, totally made up. Fake news, it can be piled into your Jones vs Tom is happening at UFC 320 Noche and all the other "in the know" nonsense threads you come up with
