This is the best interview with any UFC fighter I have ever seen in my life. You can tell when someone is a true, genuine person and Tom is the real deal, as a person and a fighter. Everything he said about the whole situation is spot on and anyone who says anything else is just biased because they love Jon as a fighter. Tom is the real champ and I can’t wait to see him get the respect he deserves!

[@biteingbonobo]

I am a big fan of Jon Jones and Tom Aspinal, buuuuuut.. to be honest i think Jones doesn’t want to lose hir fight record, since he doesn’t get a scratch in his legacy. Jon you have more then enough scratches in your legacy. Dont be a wimp and fight that guy.

[@turkeyman631]

Not going to say Jon is 'scared' or Tom, but he defintely sees him as 10x more of a threat than he does Stipe. What in the hell does Jon beating Stipe prove at this point? Absolutely nothing and there is no hype in the fight other than people just wanting to see Jones once in a blue moon fight.

[@nickkemp4979]

Bruh, he has a fight already scheduled. Once that's over if he ducks Tom then then you all can call him scared. You're all so annoying right now with your endless pestering. You're really showing that you don't understand how things work.

[@XBlack-oc6xt]

Its actually lame. Tom should have called out Jon before he was booked to fight Stipe, before he was injured, not after. Tom's name never came up even once, after he's injured and already booked you call him out and act like he's ducking, so lame.

19:28 that is crazy 🔥 strong point from Tom. I felt he was really respectful and honest. There is an inherent contradiction in UFC saying Jon p4p #1 and is the absolute best in world, while also being protected from Tom, who is beating multiple hw's that are active in UFC right now. It just feels objectively true to me. I feel majority of fans now want Tom v Jon but just imo

@@patricknez7258 for me Tom vs Jon is 50/50. Because it’s Jon jones lol bro is talented like crazy. For me he can’t be the goat after he beat gane …. I mean cmon we knew he would wrestle him & im sure gane didn’t think jones would be that strong 😂.. but to be in active all this time just holding onto the belt while they have a interim & Tom defends the interim 😂? So crazy theory . UFC and jones have history , idk what type but they do. When Jon got popped he helped usada catch all the steroid users n such….. weird sequence of events tbh … but I feel Dana is tryna push Jon as his “Tom Brady” which he isn’t. Don’t get my wrong he is definitely top 3 all time in terms of skills for me but outside of that…. Nah, I 100% believe he was on the juice most of his career idk why but 🤷🏻‍♂️ ufc follows money & usually never makes the best fights , only recently they started to risk it. Think about it 2 superstars in the same division. Money talks …. Let’s milk this until they have to fight each other

Toms a beast no doubt

[@sansu7222]

He is fighting a guy who defeated Francis who Aspinall’s fans said Jon also feared. Now, when they met, Tom allowed Jon to move his hand off his shoulder, even apologized. Answer is NO, Jon isn’t scare! And what’s funny is that now the UK is all over wanting to call themselves the authorities in MMA. Like futbol soccer, even in their land others rule them! I do feel sad that Tom, like many other title fight deserving fighters, has been made to wait too long, ask Tony. Tom is great, smart athletic & started mma as a child. But after saying this, he is a 31 year old man who is barely an interim champion. Jon was a champion at 23 & started mma at about 19! So, Tom will probably get to defeat Jon one day due to their current age difference and wear & tear of Jon’s almost double the number of professional fights. And these differences come with speed and power for Tom. So, because Tom will never be able to match Jon’s record, he will never be better than Jon legacy wise. So beating Jon means just that, that Jon’s time came. It doesn’t make him GREATER than Jon Jones. And no, I’m not even American to say that that is the reason I believe this. Jon’s fighting has been poetry in motion, & his creativity/malice has been unmatched. And then there’s Tom’s now healed knee. Ask Thiago Santos. He was never the same after Jon destroyed his knees. Still, I will be happy to have any of these great fighters like Jon, Tom or Pereira as a Champ!

He’s on the verge of tears ever time he speaks lmao look when Jon and him met in person he backed down and apologized and removed his hand like a bitch. Jones will retire undefeated and y’all gonna cry 😂😂😂😂

Tom for sports personality of the year. Eff the BBC

Tom is a British country boy. Down to earth, respectful, but to the point. Seems like a great guy.😊

Love these guys, Fantastic podcast . And Tom Aspinal, really adds something special to the ufc, and is a really Genuine down to earth bloke it seems . Respect to all 3 👊

Big Tom will be thee best professional heavyweight in the world, he will also shine for the UFC. Go get `em Tom

[@ryanlocati5695]

Fin awesome interview man!

[@Monztxr]

Honestly don’t think Jon gets through the first minute against Tom. His only chance would be to injure and slow down Tom with his oblique kicks. He won’t knock him down, won’t out grapple him and certainly won’t finish him.

[@MohamedBulhanny]

He could barely kick and even move around fast as he would back in the days 😂🎉 aspinall will.murder jones this is not something to discuss about or hesitate about

You can tell how good Tom is by the fact he still has perfect brain function, one of the best speakers from the ufc, that’s what happens when your fights last less than a minute and you barely get touched.

"I will retire Jon Jones without even fighting him..." ooooof

Anthony and Bisping are hitting it out of the park with this podcast. Just like the one with Ben Askren's son, this was a great interview.

[@Xtro-1098]

Jon Jones fans need to get there head around the fact that tom aspinall is the future of the HW.....

[@XBlack-oc6xt]

well, I'm not a Jon fan, but I dont get your point? Of course Tom is the future, so what? GSP who is my all-time fav. was clearly burnt out at the end of his WW run and guys like Lawler and Woodley were the future and if GSP stuck around he would probably loose, a lot of people thought he lost to Hendricks, but all-time GSP is still the WW GOAT over them all including Usman. If Jon retires now, or after Stipe, or fights Tom, win or loose he's still the GOAT, his legacy is already set and it has nothing to do with Tom.

[@jamesgniadek9403]

@@XBlack-oc6xtthank u! Well said!

[@shialeboof3504]

Nobody denies that. We just think it’s funny all the new fans act like Jon needs to beat Tom for his legacy. Jon’s legacy is set in stone. Tom is a rookie who just got popular recently.

[@XBlack-oc6xt]

@@shialeboof3504 exactly, Jon can retire now or win or loose to Stipe or Tom and it wouldn't matter. It's like GSP, it was obvious he was burnt out at the end of his run, many thought he lost to Hendricks and if he stuck around, good chance he'd have loose to guys like Woodley, or Lawler, but all-time he's still far better than them all including Usman. There's a big difference between fighter fans and fight fans.

No way Jon little Jones fight Tom, he is now hiding under the bed afraid of Tom

[@bchansens]

he's under the bed afraid of losing to TOM, and was hiding under something else in the gym afraid of USADA right...

[@KPrent82]

Jones should be made to fight Aspinall and stop holding up the division or he should be stripped. When they make a interim title your next fight is supposed to be against the champion. Its about time Tom started going after some of his failures as a fighter and as a human being, I look at Tom and he has the potential to become one of the greatest heavyweight's of all time

[@MorningPeacock97]

Tom knew what he signed up for

[@danielsimms4262]

That makes no sense whatsoever.

[@Rezurrekted]

​@danielsimms4262 it does, Tom does as his boss says, Dana wants Jones vs Stipe. Tom needs to know his role and stfu crying.

[@danielsimms4262]

@@Rezurrekted That won't happen as long as he's interim champ. Get used to it.

[@ashervirin9698]

No man alive can fight Jon jones (unless he’s a grandpa)

[@0ooTheMAXXoo0]

I think Tom Aspinall can safely consider himself better than Jon Jones if Jones never fights Tom. If Jon Jones admits that Tom is better by not wanting to fight Tom, that is even clearer than a fight.

[@alan8887]

For the first time in my life, I agree with Jon. I also think Jon owes Stipe this fight and 'if' Jon wins, for God sakes retire. Be smart. Invest your treasure and live happily ever after.

[@UNITDW]

He doesn’t owe Stipe anything, Stipe has won one fight in 5 years and fought for the last time 4 years ago and got KO’d brutally. He owes Tom a fight, Tom has defended the interim belt. Relinquish the belt and fight Stipe or fight Tom.

[@Monztxr]

How is Stipe ‘owed’ a title shot? I don’t understand this at all

[@alan8887]

@@Monztxr It's Jon who wants to fight Stipe. Ask him.

[@alan8887]

@@UNITDW I'm sure you don't think Chandler deserves to fight Connor either do you? For you, a mans word ain't a promise when it comes to fighting.

[@UNITDW]

@@alan8887 Chandler does deserve to fight Conor, because Conor is a big money fight, Chandler has lost to every great guy in the division and Conor isn’t the champion. It’s a completely different situation. Jon fighting Stipe isn’t just a fight, it’s giving him a title shot when there is an interim champ who has defended the belt and also almost cleaned out the division already. It’s literally just Jon and Gane left (and Gane has ducked Tom and refused 2 fight contracts given to him to fight Tom and Jon is clearly ducking Tom too). It’s not justifiable at all to give that title shot to a guy who is over the hill and hasn’t fought in years and lost his last fight by brutal KO.

I love how Tom finally starts talking a bit, and deservedly so. He’s always very respectful etc, but he has the right to tell people the truth as the best heavyweight on earth and ufc champion. Speak up for himself a bit.

Jon needs to step up and give Tom his fight if he doesn’t he looses that goat status in my opinion

[@bruceandteo]

Brilliant interview! Tom is a legend!

[@The1Rufus]

Great episode. Just to say that what happened to Ngannou with UFC when he wanted to retire as Heavyweight Champion was nuts. All the legal fights Ngannou had to be released. Now Jones, if he beats Stipe, is able to walk away as Heavyweight Champ with no questions asked? Seems double standards to me and they are avoiding Tom!!!
