[@danesetner7408]

Jones will split Aspinall’s head open with vicious elbows. Aspinall likes to throw bombs and confident in his jiu jitsu game…that plays totally into Jones strengths. Jones is the highest IQ fighter there is and you never see him in a firefight throwing bombs with his opponent..which makes those fights 50/50(whoever gets caught). Jones instead controls action with being in and out…leg kicks…oblique kicks. Look at Aspinall’s last 4-5 ko’s and he was in with guys throwing bombs with him. Next …Jones is a master in the clinch game…the knees and elbows he would be throwing …Aspinall has never faced. John is a wrestler and loves judo throws and trips…Aspinall would definitely be taken down at one point. And finally here is where Aspinall gets destroyed by Jones…with Aspinall feeling confident in his jiu jitsu he will not fear being on his back…but Jones is NEVER on his back and has the most dangerous top game ever…and Aspinall would not have any answers or defense for the onslaught of punches and elbows that Jones would put on him. The Aspinall fans can’t imagine this scenario because they see Aspinall throwing nothing but hard shots that hurt Jones until he is ko’d. But just honestly ask yourselves…why is Jones never in that position? And look how each guy that got ko’d by Aspinall chose to stand with Aspinall…Jones doesn’t eliminate all his advantages and let fights become 50/50 with big right hooks. Why did Gane go 5 rounds with Ngannou…because he didn’t just throw down. You’re welcome for the lessons.

[@nickkemp4979]

Seeing a lot of weaknesses in Tom's game here. He tapped super quick to a heel hook. He also quit when he got injured. And before anybody says how it was reasonable for him to quit just look at Santos and Jones. When Jones almost broke his arm due to an armbar he never gave up. When Santos tore the tendon in his knee he never gave up either. You can also see Tom get's gassed quickly. He was pretty tired after the grappling that he had to do. He didn't defend takedowns well either. Perhaps he's improved since this (and I suspect that he has) but no one has tried to take him down since this. He's only faced brawlers. Austin's not a big guy either.

[@nickkemp4979]

@@jameschambers9439 How do you know that? We haven't seen his wrestling in action and he literally just quit a fight due to injury. And before you say "he was injured", look towards other fighters who were in similar circumstances that didn't quit. Thiago Santos fought 4 rounds with all the ligaments in his knee torn. Dan Hooker and Kamzat Chimaev fought with broken hands. There's dozen of other examples. Tom quits when he gets injured. That's a major weakness.

Make Tom wrestle, and he will fade in rounds 3 or 4 vs Jones! There's levels in MMA Jones is Elite level, Tom has beaten brawlers in the UFC that have low IQ in MMA, Jones is the GOAT 🐐!!!!

[@bigjer7589]

Agree, he’s entered swinging matches and managed to be the one that doesn’t get caught.

[@Bhagavan_Josiah]

How is no one talking about the weight difference

[@timothyclark8461]

My first thought this dude 30lbs lighter then Tom and is out wrestling him

[@Bhagavan_Josiah]

and they think he has a chance against Jonny it’s funny 😂

[@newchannel416]

Damn Aspinal got mauled 😂😂😂😂😂😂 Dont let his fanboys see this

hamill beat jones

[@pat99121]

[@donaldalexander3555]

Tom looked like shit in this one….. Makes me wonder how good he is if he can’t put them out in the 1st. We have to see the Jones fight.

[@Huntingdonn]

He just gave that leg up. Even rolled back and fourth into it. He gave up just for the pure exhaustion. Even the tap shows that!

[@justliftit001]

This was embarrassing. Aspinal is heavier by quite a margin, pretty much solid muscle, however he got manhandled, held against his will on the bottom, and pounded on. He would make attempts to change his position but then he's still end up on the bottom. What the hell aspinall? You have 30 lb on this guy

[@ashleygarvin7177]

The commentary here was a bit unfair on Stuart, his grappling at this point was much higher level that Toms. Stuart was full English Cadet level in Judo and had trained from a very young age. He wasnt really just a black belt, he was an international level junior fighting for team GB.

[@Declan907]

this is 8 years old

[@DarrenReddix-mf4ee]

His wrestling & grappling hasn't even been tested since & ppl are so confident he beats Jon Jones, not me, I knew he'd beat everyone he's beaten so far, Jon on the other hand is the 1 I'm picking against Tom.

[@ArseneBorz]

​@@DarrenReddix-mf4ee How much chance do you give Blaydes against him?

[@DarrenReddix-mf4ee]

@@ArseneBorz It depends on how Blaydes decides to fight if he mixes his wrestling I'd say 60% because I'm not too confident only because for all we know Tom's ground game defense is so much better. But if Curtis decides to stand & trade I give Curtis about 45% I'd say. What's your opinion?

[@Baz_0_4]

Stuart Austin is deffo better than 80% of UFC heavyweights lol

[@leatheryfoot6354]

I love how all The Jones Fans are saying Aspinall is a bum based on a loss he had ten years ago. That's like saying Islam is a bum because he got KO'd by Adriano Martins.

[@marspt29]

Not a bum but why would we put them over guys who never lost, or even 2 division champs like dc, jones, Alex, gsp, etc

[@Black-Circle]

MMA fans are the smartest

[@jericho-tube]

It is one thing to catch someone and other thing is to ragdoll in his own craft which Aspinal was practicing since 8 years of age.

[@Black-Circle]

@@jericho-tube if aspinall kicked the grip off with the other foot he would have escaped. but he could have been tired/ gassed. he lost anf learned from it.

[@jericho-tube]

@@Black-Circle Not only submission. He got manhandled for almost 2 rounds. Could not even get up from the bottom where as Aspinal was 253lb and his opponent was 223lb

[@BIGMFINSTYLES]

This dude beat the hell out of Tom for 2 rounds using Jon Jones’ style and got a finish but Tom beats Jon according to the internet 😂😂

[@laurenzb.1919]

That was ten years ago. It's like saying charles oliveira is not a legitimate champion because he was a quitter and lost to a bunch of dudes in his past. JJ could be dead and you guys would still think he beats Aspinall.

[@KT-ly2tr]

Jones is an elite black belt Judoka?

Any elite grappler with decent takedowns and defense would give Aspinall serious problems.

[@KT-ly2tr]

@@rayclam8079 You saw how active brown belt 22 yr old Tom was in guard, you think 9 years and current black belt Tom can’t sub/scramble even harder? What impressed me the most here was the fact that this fight was mostly grappling and Tom still had the energy to try to finish late in the second round.

[@rayclam8079]

I'm not sure how much Tom as improved since he mostly relies on striking. I wasn't too impressed with him here, he was easy to takedown and he gassed out at the end of the second round which is why he got caught with that heel hook.

[@420blowingsmoke]

It was his 3rd fight n it's so similar to Brock Lesnar Frank Mir 1, saved by an ankle lock......but why you here talking about Jones when he's not even in this video? I get it when you're in love you have a hard time keeping your lover's name out your mouth. Good luck I heard he's married but you know I guess there's something going on with Dana so maybe you have a chance.

Jon Jones has never been taken down never mind submitted like this. Not a Jones fanboy but the reality is that Tom will just be another highlight reel.

Tom is nobody. Let’s be clear.

[@shubhsingh7764]

bro this is 9 years ago, you have to be dense to think hes the same fighter

[@dmt79526]

He was a brown belt at this time which us one below black belt ,for me its not even that, its the fact that he gets taken down so easily and I noticed that he doesn’t really go for takedowns himself

[@dmt79526]

Even now if you notice he had multiple opportunities to do takedowns specially against Pavlovic who was ending people left and right, but Tom decided to box with him(granted he did amazing) but if he was confident in his takedowns he wouldn’t have taken that risk against Pavlovic and would go for the takedown

[@StrykerGSP]

@@shubhsingh7764 actually a very different fighter. Yet like all UK fighters keeps that chin way up in the air has terrible defense and got legit KO'd against blaydes so yeah totally different.
