We all have to agree that Tom Aspinall's stock has only risen.

[mkess101]

Never forget that Tom was one of the morons picking Jamahal Hill to utterly dominate Alex Pereira.

Well shit...he's bad at predicting fights so he must not be a good fighter himself!

Never forget Jon Jones was the ONLY professional fighter moronic enough to claim Blaydes was kicking Aspinall's ass in the 1st fight, by claiming Blaydes's punches where landing and doing damage, when any idiot could watch the fight and see that they weren't landing.Then he topped off the prediction by saying Blaydes was going to do it again in the 2nd fight.

This inactivity BS being levelled at Tom needs to stop. It's a travesty he had to defend the interim title once, to defend it twice would be a disgrace.

Basically the UFC needs to make Jones v Tom soon or strip Jon. They humoured Jones by waiting an age for the Stipe farce to take place, now it's time for real business.

Like Jon Jones said, Aspinall needs to defend it 17 times for him to be in a position to fight JJ. He has 16 more to go... Let's see!!

Well, actually, they did hurt Aspinall... Aspinall saw there that his initial flush was being well countered by Curtis and felt he'd lose soon since he wouldn't get an early KO, so he masterfully faked the knee injury to not be beaten up, so he could study Blaydes more and see how he could approach the initial exchanges differently. Aspinall is a master, faking an injury like that on the spot and making it seem real to the point that even the doctors were fooled... That couldn't be done by anyone other than Aspinall and maybe Chael Sonnen....

Listen Tom is the greatest of all time, until loses and I will find another HW to beat Jones. Like I did with Game and Pavlovich

Tom is the King of a dead division. HW Mighty Mouse without the defenses.

Jon was the roid-king in the weakest division in UFC history tho,
Fighting old MW like Machida, Rashad, Sonnen, Rua haha

Tom HW goat.. cain striking + broke wrestling + werdum grappling

dont know if your serious
literaly havent seen him outwrestling top wrestlers
never seen him outrapple or strangle any bjj blackbelt

but yeah hes the HW goat

dont know if your serious
guys you mentioned had an average age of 29-34years old
the prime age of LHW fighters
there are statitistics to back this up

some of the guys you mentioned fought at HW too lol

LHW division was the most stacked the most talented division back then
its bigger than the MW and WW division

pretty sure you dont know your history

and yes those guys you mentioned aint natural too if you wanted more facts just quote me

Rashad Evans was in a win streak against guys like Rampage Jackson, Phill Davis before facing JJ. Vitor Belfort had defeated Dan Henderson, Luke Rockhold before... Ryan Bader was undefeated. Chael had not fought at LHW, ok, but he gave Anderson Silva one of the toughest matches ever and Chael said that the fight vs JJ was the only one he knew he couldn't win and felt fear...

Alexander Gustaffson had been in an impressive streak and defeated big names like Glover and Jan Blackowski when those two were younger... Gave DC a very tough match that went to split decision.

Then JJ defeated a Glover Teixeira who was in a 20 wins streak, in his best shape, in a dominant fashion... The same Glover who when way older ( 7 years later) and thus past his prime, defeated Jan Blackowski, Thiago Santos and gave Jiri Prochazka the toughest fight of his career among the fights Jiri won... The same Jiri who destroyed Reyes previously...

Also defeated DC the first time... Same DC who defeated Derrick Lewis and Stipe after the JJ saga in HW, as a 40 years old man... And when 42 years old, still gave Stipe a hell of a fight before losing, when Stipe was 37 (basically the same age diff between JJ and Stipe).

JJ then defeated Gustaffson the second time.


Then JJ defeated Gane in the first round in a fight that everyone was so shocked on how easy it was.... Same Gane who had defeated:

Junior dos Santos
Alexander Volkov
... went to a decision vs Ngannou
Tai Tuvasa
... Lost to JJ in the 1st round
Then went on to defeat Spivac in a dominant fashion and now, Volkov again (tho controversial)...

I mean, what are you talking about? JJ defeated all top contenders except for Ngannou and Aspinall, the latter which he will very likely fight against now --- Dana said JJ plays mind games with the media and acts way differently behind the scenes... And that he is 100% sure the fight will happen...

Tom Aspinall himself said that there is no one in the HW division rn who can give him a tough match other than JJ. Once JJ defeated Gane, Tom tweeted "well, I was wrong in my predictions, Jon Jones is really the greatest of all times" ... Which he only started to say he isn't now to sell the fight more, he wouldn't be saying "JJ is the GOAT" like back then when he wasn't expecting to face JJ anyways... Now he acts differently to hype up the match. And even still, Tom Aspinall right now says he wouldn't put JJ any lower than top 2 best of all times --- while what he likely actually believes is that he's the GOAT like he said when JJ defeated Gane, not now tho because he wants to create a rivalry for the fans.


Like, there isn't anything here that you can even counter, because these are all facts. So you can just answer with a "thanks for educating me"

In the words of the great GSP being a fighter is like being in the stock market and the more Jones ducks the higher Aspinall's stock rises. Lettuce be real about it.

Do you think this was an intentional ploy by Jones to both hold out for more money, and drum up interest in the fight?

 

[Luffy]

Jones didn't defend the belt, he fought an old and retired man with no wins over the current roster. And it showed.

It's time for the belt holder and interim champ to unify the division. To pretend that anything else should happen next is nonsensical.

How old was DC when he fought Stipe for the second and third times? How old was Stipe back then? And how tough were those matches? Answer honestly.

Nice paragraph about a fighter that has nothing to do with my post!

 

[rorschach51]

The UFC is to have poatan fight the undisputed UFC HW title before they allow Tom to try and unify.
That's my opinion and my prediction. Poatan is about as HOT as any MMA fighter can be. They aren't going to not capitalize off that.

Love your posts, but the HW title is disputed with a IC champ out there, not to mention Francis is still the lineal champ.
