I genuinely believe he'll be the champion within 3 fights. No matter the champ & JBJ is my all time favorite. Unfortunately for Tom, I think Stipe & Jon retire in MSG.

[@mrfatuchi]

Even without the fact Jones and Stipe are probably both retiring after their fight there would be two more fights for him to the title, and if they retire he is fighting the winner of Gane vs Spivac for the title since the title would be vacant. So its very possible his very next fight is for the title.

Tom is a solid guy and his dad is 100% right! You can be too nice and it can be your downfall. Their is nothing wrong with wanting to achieve your goals, especially when you’ve put your entire life up until that point into it. It doesn’t mean you’re a bad person or you’re going to give off negative energy. Nothing wrong with being a little selfish. Tom you deserve it man you gotta go for it now.

[@darren1989]

Im way more excited to see how his stand up looks against Gane than Jones..Tom is the man for sure but imo Jones is the GOAT . Maybe he might be the man to beat him

[@KingDomsKingdom85]

One of my favourite humans in this sport, he's the guy that the "everyman" wherever you are in the world should fully support. Hes just a great, normal, honest and open dude. People like him deserve all the support in the world from everyone in the world. It would be *INCREDIBLE* to see big Tom getting football/soccer chants for him in America during a fight... that would put a big smile on my face.

[@bilbobaggins9765]

Tom talks about how great he is as much as one of the most unlikable fighters in the sport while being one of the most likable fighters in the sport. A balance between self-deprecation, being well-mannered and seeming like a genuinely good person.

[@inglesconmatt]

Exactly - because he 100% backs it up and never bashes his opponents. The other clowns talk about how great they are and how bad their opponent is - then they get clowned when they lose. 🤣

[@ameer8011]

Favourite current fighter by a mile now, likeable in every sense

[@tomgunn6086]

Jones will not want any of Aspinall. Young, mentally very tough, totally driven. Excellent cardio, bombs in both hand. Very very fast, Excellent grappler ,wrestler and ground floor specialist. Genuine super heavy. Still not in his prime but very good fight IQ. Jones prefer to fight a past his prime Stipe. Who I totally respect. Aspinall is more rounded with better range.

[@RSG71]

I predict that Jon Jones will probably win his next fight against Stipe (I see him choking Stipe out like he did with Ciryl) and will probably retire after that rather than fight Tom and risk his only loss. Aspinall in my mind has the best skillset to upset Jones, he's got size, speed, strength and unbelievable fast striking and great submissions, Jones knows this in the the back of his mind but will not give any credit to Tom for his skills. Anyways once he retires Tom will be the champ.
