Media Volkov and Jailton have agreed to fight each other

[Pequeño Corey]

You know what I've realized is truly hilarious? That Aspinall has managed to work a bunch of you all into frothing haters just by being good and by being the guy your hero ran from.

It's funny, plenty of the same people on this forum that keep repeating "OMGZ Jones is so much in your heads. GOAT will do what he wants. You guys can't stop talking about him!" are right there in every thread trying to trash Aspinall.

At least Jones earned some of his hate by being an asshole. The only thing Aspinall has done is wreck most of the top 10 and make Jon run scared into retirement.

I like Tom, and I wanted Jon to fight him.

This definitely doesn't apply to you.

And this means Tom is going to fight Gane after all. All the time wasted while he bitched and said he wouldn't fight Gane and now he will have to. Hopefully Gane works on his timing for when Tom comes rushing in with his chin up. If he does not land a flush power shot right of the bat Tom takes him down and works him over.

Gane is the one who passed on fighting Aspinall before.

 

[DougieJones]

I feel like Jailton is going to sleep in this one

 

[Staph infection]

LMFAO Gane refused to fight Aspinall twice.

Good luck in thinking pillow fist Gane is gonna land some big KO shot too.

Gane is trash but I still stand behind only chance being landing a ko shot right off the bat. It is his way to possibly win.

 

[Staph infection]

Gane is the one who passed on fighting Aspinall before.

I know and Tom let the world know for ages as well. With Volkov and Jailton fighting there is no other option for Aspinall. Are they gonna wait and see if Lewis can win tonight and if he does then gift him another title shot?

 

[Captain Herb]

Gane is the Colby Covington of HW. Multiple unearned title shots and he just loses all of them anyway. Just ain't champ material.

Sort of, probably more like Holly Holm because of the better personality. Thing is, he could have won both of those fights if he spent half the time on tdd that he does sitting on his ass playing video games.

lol, you've been watching mma for over 10 years and thats what you think? That's the last thing that would/could happen. He needs to keep Tom off him and take it 5 rounds.

I don't think he's "trash"...his grappling needs a ton of work. But he hasn't shown to be a big power puncher so far either. You could be right because it's HW so if they land...always a chance. But Pavlovich (maybe the current biggest puncher at HW) landed a decent shot on Aspinall and he ate it so thinking Gane hurts him...hard to see.

Gane likely will try to keep kicking distance and make it a sparring match but that's a long shot vs Tom here. Like you said, good chance Aspinall shoots and takes him down and works. But he could just spark him too. First guy Gane will have faced who's faster and Aspinall has power on top of that.

 

[Kenny Powerth]

I'm just happy to see some legit movement in the HW division especially where it matters

I refuse to believe guys like Waldo Cortes and Martin DuBay will ever be legit contenders

 

[SuperAlly]

Gane is a clear example of the Jones hate. Not like he's the greatest wrestler/grappler, but after Jones all people talk about how a breeze blows and he falls over then he's a whitebelt on the ground. Yet he's been pretty good at keeping distance avoiding TDs considering everyone knew he was a french kickboxer since joining mma. Only Jones and Ngannou have beat him on the ground, and Ngannou fight was still 50/50 on people scoring it. Now everyone pretends it was a blowout for Ngannou and Volkov fight wasn't even close that Gane lost. He has decent TDD and grappling for HW in 2025, wouldn't pick him to defend Almeida, but he's got a shot vs everyone else.

Actually, yours is the post with clear delusional bias

Less of a gift than the ones Gane receives. I mean, at least he'd have actually won a fight to get it (as opposed to being awarded a fight every sane person knows he lost).

 

[Portland8242]

Huh? Wierd association you made there. Jones fans don’t need to hype up Gane to make Jon look good. Jon already did the heavy lifting, and it wasn’t really all that heavy. All these other HW’s going to competitive decisions with Gane just makes the win age better and better. Cope. Have a seat at the Jon victim table.

yeah we're i made that association when the posts above mine were standard groupie behavior from Jones fans whining about Gane somehow being "diminished" when the actual reason he's getting diminished is cause he looked like utter garbage in a fight that should have been a Volkov W. But you guys are just that insecure you have to jump to his defense everytime.

 

[spinup]

Who else? Agree or not the two buffoons who mattered decided he deserved the win vs Volkov. Not to mention Tom already beat Volkov and this is a fresh matchup.

Everyone just needs to accept that hw aint ideal thanks to Dana and Jones running things the way they did.

You know what, I think Volkov and Jailton do it for a reason.
IMO, they both know their chances against Aspinall are very slim, and are hoping Gane could be pulling an upset.

 

[Human Bass]

I think this might be a hard fight for Jailton. Jailton's grappling isn't all that and Volkov has some serviceable BJJ. I think Volkov might be a black belt now. The gap between both men in standup is much wider than on the ground.

Wut? Jailton has he best double in the UFC and Volkov is very vunerable with those long legs.

Yea I never made that connection or acknowledged it as a thing. I guess it’s more of that obsessive Jones hater mentality where you find a way to insert him into everything. Kinda like a scorned woman after a bad divorce. Sorry man. Have a blessed day and I hope you enjoy the scraps tonight.

You are talking about wrestling/takedowns. I am referring to the actual ground fight.
Jailton’s actual ground game isn’t all that.

It's pretty damn good...especially relative to the division.

He isn’t some destroyer in grappling. There are some clips of him grappling MWs. He doesn’t steam roll them. Don’t get me wrong. Jailton doesn’t suck but he is the typical big man BJJ game. It’s not the end when it hits the ground with him unless the opening is right there.

 

[JBJ was here]

One of the big problems with not giving Almeida the next shot is that we might end up having to watch Aspinall face Gane and then Volkov, both of whom figure to have no path to victory against Aspinall beyond praying for him to injure or disqualify himself. At least Almeida has a better shot than that.
