I've been watching boxing since the late 80's and UFC since Royce and I disagree. I'd like to see Jon fight Stipe and then Tom, but the idea that the champ has to fight the next guy before walking away is wrong, because there's always another one waiting in the wings so they could never walk away... I have no issue with Jon retiring now, after Stipe or whenever, the only issue is he got injured and the fight got postponed, no one was complaining when the fight was announced. Nonsense.

In a 3 rd fight, 2 RDS account for two thirds of the fight (66% so I'm assuming he rounds up to 70%) so he adds those two RDS to a three round fight making it roughly 70% more time fighting

[@ghostaccountlmao]

if a match is 3 rounds, 100% is 3/3. Add 2 more rounds, 2/3 + 3/3 = 5/3. That extra 2/3 is literally 66% of an increase, therefore he rounds it to 70% increase.

I doubt that they are afraid chaps, but he will certainly make them feel his presence given the opportunity, Aspinall is a massive problem for that division, he is the uncrowned king Id say.

[@Know3ody]

Well, tom most definitely is one of the most scary fighters to ever be in the heavyweight division. Him vs Francis would have been a fantastic fight right now or even in the last 2 years. BUT Francis ran from Jones so there is that.

[@darudesandstrom1067]

Nobody is saying Tom Aspinall is a bigger name or he’s had a better career. All everybody is saying that Aspinall would beat Jones right now, which he would. Easily as well. Plus Jones ducking him is embarrassing, how can you retire with your head held high after that 😂

[@ducatixclutch008]

Sad but true

[@theenlightenedone1283]

Tom is the Rocky 1 balboa And Jon is creed Creed underestimated him

[@blakenilsen9852]

The only thing I disagree with is beating Tom does nothing for his legacy. That would keep him as the goat for another 5 years MINIMUM. That would be like 4 generations of fighters and in 2 different weight classes. Tom has also smoked the entire heavyweight division except Gane so Jon doesn’t have to fight them all.

[@Meltymorty]

Tom is better than Dominic ryas

[@gregluke8992]

Ok, the only real loss is a sub loss though and I'm sure he's worked on that a lot since that time. His opponents have only got better since that sub loss too. I'm under no delusional about Jon's goat status at light heavyweight but people want to see him in a real heavyweight contest. Not saying he's scared but since he's held on to that belt all this time, people think it's fair he should give Tom a shot if Jon gets past Stipe

[@KennyPowers.]

Exactly, man took Ls at every company he's ever fought for.

[@augustoamaral6084]

1 by DQ, 1 by injury. His only legit loss was a heel hook, that’s like Islam’s 1 loss, it’s not that relevant. The point is that he’s the best right now

[@cjuice2943]

@@augustoamaral6084 the one by injury is still a loss, jon broke his toe and continued fighting till he won…, mark hunt broke one hand and still fought with the other, even Thiago Santos continued with one leg and didn’t quit. Many fighters have.

[@CoachTC23]

Stipe would 100% fight Tom if Jon drops out again. He’s a warrior in all aspects of life and it’s his last fight. He’s not wanting this training camp or this payday or the chance at stamping his heavyweight GOAT claim. Win win for Stipe even in a loss. Jon wouldn’t lose anything with a loss to Tom either. But he’d never take that fight because he doesn’t take fights he doesn’t know he can win. He doesn’t see a pathway to win over Tom. He’s had a youth skill or size advantage against every opponent ever and doesn’t face that against Tom.

dc spoke the truth here, mark his words aspinall vs gane if jone/stipe is out

[@pwslattery]

A win over Aspinall does nothing for Jon’s legacy because he already has the belt and right now Stipe is still the heavyweight goat and he would have beaten him. Who Aspinall becomes later is just speculation right now. His major attribute is speed and your speed is the first thing you lose over a career, which suggests his reign might not last as long as others.

[@jeradmang]

I wasn't thinking that way at first but the longer it goes and the more and more it seems like there is no convincing them to face Tom, I start to feel that way....not so much scared of Tom's ability but more so scared of father time and their own ability against a younger stud.

If fighting Tom is too much risk vs reward, then Dana should balance it out by inreasing the reward.

Chandler v Paddy would have been better for views Personally, I'd say Chandler v Gamrot would work (both have wins and losses to top 155ers) Chandler v Oliveira is iffy for me, feels like a waste cause he's already lost to Do Bronx and he still wants to fight McGregor

DC is right. If Stipe pulls out, Tom will end up fighting Gane, instead of Jon Jones. On the other hand, if JBJ doesn't make it to the fight, Miocic wants that belt and will fight Aspinal. Imo, I thing that Jon Jones is meant to lose to Stipe, not to Tom....

[@huckleberryharrison6248]

JBJ, against all logic and reason, decided to START using PED's when USADA showed up. He totaly wasn't using them the whole time and is not a wife beating fraud. He deserves all the praise and should totally still be in the sport. He was pure as the driven snow before USADA. Just look at his career before USADA compared to after. It is basically the same. Let him juice it up against Aspinall. USADA is gone, so no one will know, and the UFC can go on pretending he is the GOAT.

[@MT-ou3lh]

Fact no. 1: Jones is the light heavyweight goat. Fact no. 2: Jones has won a single fight in heavyweight (against a mediocre opponent) and is therefore way below Aspinall in the heavyweight division.

[@surendemel8297]

Let's say Jon wins against Tom, and then Tom looses to someone else, then Jon's victory over Tom means nothing. Let's say Tom beats Jones that is the end of it. So either way what is the use of taking that risk.
