Curtis Blaydes: Tom Aspinall Fight For 'Real Belt,' Jon Jones to Retire After Stipe Miocic | UFC 304

[@Mattyp-1610]

Curtis is such a class act man. Love that dude

[@KBWarrioR2018]

Rmember that time a random loser trolling him, and he politely kept asking " who is this man?, whos is this?".. He is a humble giant

[@arkalonalan]

I didn't realize he's such a humble guy. Hoping Aspinal takes it but I won't be sad if Curtis wins.

[@MMAproAtGOLF]

It’s a shame Tom is gonna melt him in to oblivion

[@KBWarrioR2018]

@MMAproAtGOLF does not matter. Hes made good money, got his health and a family. Im happy for him

[@MMAproAtGOLF]

@@KBWarrioR2018 me too. But Tom goat

[@crazypato3752]

Blaydes entered the UFC 5-0 and now he is 17-4 in which he has fought: N'Gannou twice, Volkov, Lewis, Overewm, Hunt, Oleynik, JDS, Shamil, Rozenstruik, Almeida, Pavlovich and Aspinall. That's a bunch of killers and different styles that he has seen plus he knows what is like to go the full 25 minutes

[@kimbopizzaslice]

For sure being slept on for this fight cause of the Aspinall hype.

[@justperson8183]

18*-4 must be 19-4!

[@duncan-xg9sh]

I don't think anybody's sleeping on Curtis. He's a dangerous opponent for anybody. Tom's probably the favourite, but it just takes, one touch.

didn’t he willingly ask for the ngannou rematch too

Blaydes is 100% right about Jones retirement plan. Jones will keep that belt for as long as he can, without actually defending it except for Stipe. I wouldn't be surprised one bit if he says "one more" after beating Stipe, and drags it out for another 2 years only to retire before anything happens... unless he sees another easy win like did with Ciryl.

[@thetotaldepravity]

For me, Jones can't call himself the GOAT until get beats the next best HW, and that, I think, will be the winner of this fight. Sorry Curtis fans, but I think Aspinall might be from another planet. That's why there is no chance in absolute hell that he will ever get to fight Jones. He has already been demoted from that fight. The UFC needs an American GOAT. This isn't just about Jones, it's about American pride. It's big, propaganda big. P.s., while I think Tom beats everyone, including Jones, in the HW division, one punch can finish a fight, so, unlike other weight classes, the best can be beat. Curtis has a chance. Everyone has a chance, but I think Tom is still a different class.
