Which fight would you rather see? Tom vs Jon or Jon vs Alex?

As the title says.

Feel free to elaborate on your choice.

Aspinall and its not even close. As good and talented as Pereira is, he has very few fights in the LHW and HW divisions, his grappling is untested and he is going aginst literally one of the best wrestlers in the sport.

Aspinall hits like a truck, is young and can wrestle, and is the interim champ (Some consider him true champ because he has achieved more at HW than Jones).

Aspinall has a good chance of winning against an aging Jones. I personally don't think Pereira vs Jones would be competitive, as we have seen Jan and Izzy take him down and control him, I believe Jones is smart enough to take it to the ground and Cyril Gane him.

But yeah Pereira is a badass whether or not he can beat Jones, and is easily top 5 most exciting fighters atm

Tom Vs Jon, for a few reasons.

Alex still has work to do at 205. Ankalaev being the main one, I'm personally fine with him moving up after that, I think 3 defenses is the threshold.

Tom simply deserves it. He has 8 HW wins in the UFC. 5 top 10 wins, is the current interim champion and he deserves to try to unify.

It's a more competitive fight. Let's be honest, Poatan is just going to get Ciryl Ganed by Jones. If he doesn't catch Jon clean in the first 15 seconds it's a wrap. Guy was held down and controlled by Izzy, and Jones taps out black belts for fun.

Tom gives Jon issues everywhere and that makes it a competitive fight. He's bigger, younger, faster, legit black belt in BJJ, fight ending power in everything he throws.

Only 2 reasons anybody would rather see Poatan fight instead of Aspinall.

-Poatan fanboys that want to see him get 3 belts ahead of more deserving heavyweights.

-Jones fanboys that are licking their chops at the thought of Jon being gifted another guy that can't grapple and want to keep Jon as far away as possible from Aspinall.

Tom vs Jones

 

[TeenageMutantLesnarTurtle]

Tom/Jon by miles.

Jon/Alex would do good business but I think it would be every bit as anticlimactic as Jon/Gane was. A 37 year old kickboxer who got wrestlefucked by 40 year old Jan is not going to be beating Jon Jones.

Jon vs Izzy

 

[svmr_db]

Pereira gets ran through by either of those guys, those fights are all promotion & not competitive at all. The hype for the fights would be nuts but the end result would be extremely anti-climactic.

 

[AmonTobin]

Tom vs Jones

Tom-Jones would be a HW red panty night.

 

[deman]

Jones will beat Periera easily, come on now. He'll just take him down like Blachowicz did, only he'll do serious damage when he gets him there.

 

[MrBlackheart]

Aspinall vs Jones is more of a 50/50 competitive fight than the other. And it’s the one that scares Jon more so I pick that one.

 

[World eater]

Aspinall - Jones. If Jones gets brutally finished, Alex - Jones after that.

 

[Brood]

Tom vs Jones.
Winner vs Tom Jones.

 

[Ludwig von Mises]

I'd rather see Big Chad Tom Aspinall smoke Jones and then fight Poatan after that if Poatan annihilates Ankalaev.

Poatan isn't going anywhere while Jones might not stick around for much longer so I'd rather see that first. Tom beating Poatan won't have the same significance as beating JON JONES.

Tom vs Jones.
Winner vs Tom Jones.

Dana forcing Tom Jones at gunpoint to fight Jon Jones

 

[haj02]

I'd like to see Jon fight both so he can shut up all the doubters and haters then we can bring Francis back so he can get strangled like Gane did.

Feel free to elaborate on your choice.

Tom

because

Tom = good ground game
Alex = bad ground game

vs Alex = Jones takes Alex down, like he did with Gane
vs Tom = Jones might think twice before taking Tom down

Simple as that

 

[weaselkenievil]

Tom. We've seen Jones at LHW and it could very well end up going like the Gane fight, no interest in that. Tom is the more competitive fight and it gives Jones an opportunity to claim he's the best at HW and a goat*(to anyone who can ignore he's a massive cheat, not goat for me).

 

[Queenofchaos]

I wanna see asspinal vs Gane
Gane will school that lil boy

 

[Striker Fox]

Jones vs Aspinall

Pereira vs Gane

 

[filthybliss]

Jones vs Aspinall

Pereira vs Gane

would probably be poatan's toughest match ever if this happened
