Tom Aspinall's Fight Lab 🥋 Dricus Du Plessis vs Israel Adesanya Breakdown 🔬

[@clarkspacewayne2672]

The true heavyweight champ. has more defenses at heavyweight than Jones.

[@olliescully99]

Fair play to Monye for having a propper go! What a legend

[@MNToThat]

I think both Stipe and Jones have told Dana they are retiring and they're all keeping it hushed to sell the fight. It would explain Dana's recent Jones glazing too. Only public ridicule will make Jones hang around. He's been historically quite affected by what the fans think of him, which is why he cares so much about that "perceived" 0 on his record and puts on the fake religious act. The most popped champion in ufc history and the only fighter to cause the cancelation of a ufc event. He's not as dominant when he cant size-bully his opponent. I'm a bit disappointed Tom hasn't brought up the PED use because he said Anderson Silva isnt in the GOAT discussion for the same reason.

[@skindred1888]

It's weird because retirement fights can also sell

[@jakeonyx4775]

Tom has been too nice I agree, but if Dana had already been told they’d retire, why’s he constantly diminishing all his other stars just to promote someone that’s got 1 fight left

[@MNToThat]

​@@skindred1888Different when one of them has the undisputed belt, even though he also didn't beat the champ for it. It's the inky reason i can see why Dana has started sucking Jones off in every interview. They never had that kind of relationship when Francis was still in the UFC

U can tell Tom isn’t quite used to being on camera just yet but he looks like he will be a natural keen for this series

[@chugrooster2]

He's got a lot better from doing his own channel. Still a touch stilted but who am i to talk. I think he does a great job and is improving at selling himself all time. I wonder if he will embrace a character at some point to sell himself more. I kinda hope he just stays true to who he is.

If It Walks Like A Duck, And It Quacks Like A Duck, It was probably arrested for kerbcrawling for rentboys while drunk in downtown Albuquerque 4 years ago.... Google it. He said he was looking for "homeless people to talk to to help them feel more human" ...with a handgun in the car...

[@Stanleo77]

Tom having to sit out for almost a year because of an exhibition fight is just unacceptable. Adam trying to defend Dana by totally forgetting about this part is pathetic.

[@MNToThat]

Adam can't risk his Press Access but he shouldn't alienate Jones fans watching either. Someone on Tom's team need to tell him to start publically discrediting Jones for his PED use. He literally has an assault case coming up involving drug testers ffs

[@jcnesci]

Great content but I'm feeling sea sick from all the handheld camera movement....

[@CinephobiaRadio]

Adam's incorrect about the Guida / Sanchez fight. They weren't fighting for UFC contracts. While this event was indeed an Ultimate Fighter finale, Guida and Sanchez were added onto that card as the main event. Both fighters had already been in the UFC for a while. This was Guida's 9th fight, Sanchez's 12th fight. Sanchez goes all the way back to The Ultimate Fighter Season 1. He beat Kenny Florian in the finale, although as we all know, the fight that stole the show that night was Griffin vs. Bonnar.

[@uklmngubane5661]

[@cryptowatch-ed7cm]

Let’s have a bit of fun and imagine Ugo starts intensive mma training for the next year ,enters the UFC and takes out his first 3 opponents in the first round and Tom is reigning HW champ….😎

[@vvvoda]

Now I really want Stipe to destroy Jones.

[@shinspin7013]

My theory: Jon jones and Stipe will retire, regardless of the winner. Alex and Tom fighting for the undisputed title afterwards. That’s why Alex hasn’t fought Magomedov yet.

[@MNToThat]

Adjacent theory..., they see it as a sneaky way to get an extra PPV out of Perriera because they know Ankalaev is going to derail the hype train. They don't want Perreria moving up but losing to Tom is better for his rep than losing the LHW belt.

I think Dricus is going to surprise a lot of people. His confidence is natural, not manufactured like 99 percent of these other fighters

[@MNToThat]

S.A. play Aus in the Rugby in Perth this weekend and there's already quite a few South Africans living in Perth too. The atmosphere should be electric. Izzy looks like he's had plenty to of horse meat though. There's only one reason to "retire" for a year, look at McGregor. We'll see if the break has been worth it.

[@Monscent]

Tbh it was a fair stoppage but the ref shouldve let it go a bit longer. He wasnt very out of it after Tom was pulled off him.

[@MNToThat]

It's a good way to sell the trilogy fight though. Tom still says he's the most dangerous matchup in the division for him. Hopefully Curtis demolishes his next opponent. He was clipping Tom enough for him to throw his gameplan out the window. I like Curtis but this was the one result that Jones didn't want to see so I'm okay with it

[@alvolleyball1056]

I agree... intern champ, stipe done...

[@tdyerwestfield]

Even Big Tom saying DDP has skill discrepancies. I do not understand how Du Plessis has gotten to the top of the sport. He looks bad and wins. He looked awful the first I watched him against Till and hasn't looked any better at any point. He has the worst gas tank I've seen in the sport. Ugo looks more talented than Dricus does.

[@cjmallett1]

Think ddp gas tank got sorted when he got his snozzle operation, he just seems to have raw power and goes for it and it's working for him

[@ttocs0000]

​@cjmallett1 kind of like Alex, trusting in power, but alexs kick boxing is outstanding. Dricus is wild and awkward. Unfortunately izzy is a sniper and unless dricus gets lucky early, I think he gets caught, assuming izzy shows up in top form.

[@tdyerwestfield]

@@ttocs0000 This is the same Izzy that lost to Strickland, who I deem DDP to be very similar to. Pereira much better than both, but MMA logic...Adesanya beat Pereira but I think he'll lose to DDP somehow.

[@incrediLance]

Curtis is imo not even top 10 all time in the hw division, the only thing he did was beat an 38 year old Overrem at the age of 27 @11:08 - Jones litarally came back after a 3 year break and walked through the #1 heavyweight at the time
