UFC Fighters "Explain" Just How Good is Tom Aspinall ?

What are your thoughts on Tom Aspinall ?

[@SteveMeek]

Aspinall is the best ufc HW fighter out there. Jon Jones is the GOAT but hes not in his prime anymore and Aspinall beats him now

[@user-d8r9v]

The dude took out Blaydes in a minute, and he wasn't even warmed up! He hits hard, and if you combine that with his speed, quickness and timing...he is very dangerous to anyone. You can pull up his grappling with Eddie Hall and see he can handle the largest on the ground.

Jon is goat for a reason, the person who workouts knows that to be able to add mass you need long period of time, 3 years was good time for adding all those muscles and power, you can't just lift dumble and become powerful, it takes time. So all those people who are criticizing Jones for long layoff has no knowledge about human anatomy and he didn't ducked Ngannou, Ngannou left and he is not ducking Aspinall as well, Jon got injured the day Aspinall won against Pavlovich that was the day Aspinall became Interim champion. So if jon didn't get injured there would have been no heavy weight interim champion. So he didn't duck Aspinall, Jon was injured. If jon didn't get injured he already had fought Stipe and now he would have fight Aspinall. Even DC said that Jon isn't afraid of anybody, not even Ngannou. These are DC's words.

[@Mental_Fortitude]

I’m pretty sure I’ve heard Tom say in an interview that he hates confrontation. In a social environment on a night out he would be the first to do whatever he could to diffuse the situation even if he was being disrespected, because he completely has his ego in check. He is also very aware that these days assholes think less of smashing a bottle in your face or slashing you open with a box cutter if you allow the situation to escalate. I get the distinct impression that if it kicked off in a bar, unless he absolutely had to get involved, either because he was cornered or one of his mates was getting filled in by a couple of guys, he would very wisely be on his toes and get out of there. He has said he is a lover and not a fighter, which sounds incorrect because of what he does for a living, but he quite rightly regards himself as an elite combat athlete, not a “fighter”. That word isn’t an appropriate enough description of what he is. No honest person could argue with the idea that Tom is the most talented well rounded heavyweight combat athlete in the UFC, possibly the world. I can imagine some of you arguing that Jon has that mantle, and i understand, but just think of this; Perhaps they both share a comparative skill level with most aspects of MMA. But if we were to say that, then Tom has the advantages of being bigger and stronger, yet faster and more nimble. He can be vicious like Jon, set traps, feints and sets up opponents for them to throw a specific punch or kick, already with a combination to answer with. I think his fight IQ and spacial IQ is notably higher than any other heavyweight and is very good at not getting hit too much. However, the heavyweight division is less forgiving of talented fighters than most other divisions. Even Tom could make a split second error in judgment under pressure and receive a full force punch to the mouth that ends his night, because as we know, any of those guys can punch a hole in the wall.

He's also a really good guy outside of the UFC, and he's more than happy to have a quick chat, etc, if you see him on a night out, he's also absolutely huge when you stand next to him in person.

Also, many fighters gave up their belts when they got injuries in order not to hold the division up. So it’s really disappointing that the UFC is allowing Jones to hold up the division for many months to recover from his injury and then to have him fight Stipic when Stipic hasn’t fought for years and is no way the top contender. Aspinall should be the guy Jones fights next. So we all know what’s going on and it absolutely sucks. It’s not fair on Aspinall and all the other fighters who fight regularly but have to wait in line for their shot at the title. I never thought I’d see the UFC corrupt the very rules that made them a great fighting organisation. Stipic and Jones are past it and I don’t think could beat Aspinall. Yet we’re never going to see them try because they’ll both retire rather than fight him. It is not fair and as a fight fan, I want to see the best fight the best.

[@GengoSenmon]

The other amazing thing about Tom that none of them said is he has persevered over a career low He hurt his knee in front of his UK fans, then took a year to come back better than ever His physicality is one in a million and now his mentality is too It is a disgrace to the sport what Dana is doing holding him back from being the HW champ just for Jones' benefit🤦‍♂

[@tomthetit2419]

It’s a real missed opportunity that Aspinal wasn't around during Jones’s prime. It would’ve been a fascinating matchup. I just don’t see Jones risking his legacy by taking on Aspinal now. If he does, more power to him, but I don’t think it’s likely!

[@davidcrinkilshaw]

No one fought Jon like Tom would

[@Джабраилович]

I agree. the age gap makes a huge difference. somebody 30 is still in their prime. someone close to 40 is on the decline. It just doesn't make sense for Jon to accept the fight. But he enjoys the promotion money by entertaining the idea of it for the UFC fans. All this does is tease the UFC fans with a maybe fight in the future. Jones is way too smart in risking an L. Tom is a dangerous man.

Jon’s gonna do everything in his power to not allow a Jones/Aspinal fight. Either will retire or choose someone else, he’s scared to lose his legacy.

[@gb1178]

JJ is a has been and so is Stipe. The payday for UFC is JJ v Tom. How long is this farce going to last. I would have liked to see Tom fight Ngannou just to see who can take the harder punch, but I agree with most people Aspinall is the future. It's just a shame we can't watch him fight the greats. Plus he's losing big money waiting for this shite to sort itself out. Do they have a date for the J V S fight or what?

I am absolutely fascinated by the ufc. These guys are absolute killers, different breeds of humans in all honesty. Tom in particular, strikes me as a unique and powerful specimen in the sport. There’s something about him that he just has, much like Connor McGregor. His mere presence is captivating. I can’t wait to see where he takes his ufc career, he is one bad man.

[@billgalyean9140]

DC made a great point, Jon has fought One HW, Tom has fought and Beat Multiple HW’s. Something to consider. Although the fight Jones had with Cyril seemed like Cyril was in rare form or slow motion or something. In my opinion.

Tom is the FUTURE. He is amazing! Any respect I had for JJ went a couple of years ago. The guy ran from Ngannou and now he is running from Tom.

Great video this

[@lockdownmic5192]

Let's get it right.... Jon Jones can have anyone he wants....dana will give Jon anyone he wants, why has he not chosen Tom... The reason why is because he knows he loses that fight, Jon Jones was great back in the day... But look how much this sport has come on in the last 10 years, Tom is the best heavy weight by a longggg way, dana should cancel stipe fight and make Jones fight tom, if he ducks the fight let Tom fight stipe, I don't know why stipe is in the conversation respectfully he's been out for a few years he's getting on and if he should have to wait his turn wen Tom's interim belt holder OR wats the point of the interim title

[@patriciaeide5948]

ASpinall too new and needs like 5 more top 10 wins to even get to think to fight JON in my opinion...everytime a new good fighter comes up you all think can beat jones...jones proved you all wrong for 20 years...so strfu...the goat does what the goat wants...he earned it.

I don’t think Jon is ducking Tom at all. Jones has always been about the money, not legacy as he now claims. The UFC is doing all it can to promote this fight for a big payday. They can’t stop talking about a potential Jon-Tom match up. Jones is waiting for the money to match the hype and then he will fight Tom, beat him, and then retire.

I don't know what Andy Aspinall is doing... Tom still doesn't tuck his chin. He still keeps his chin so high and when he throws the jab, he pulls his right hand behind his rib and throws it from there. It's just a matter of time someone going to catch him during that 1 2 if he doesn't fix that.

[@vojtechralis6075]

He's been training boxing with Tyson Fury for like 18 months, he can afford this because he's got insanely well developed sense of timing. + his chin caught some nasty shots already, like a hook from Sergei, he wasn't even rocked. Who do you think could catch him like that?

[@toddhall7416]

JJ doesn't want Aspinall because he thinks he'll probably lose. The champion is supposed to fight the interum champ. Jon's talking retirement because he doesn't want to get knocked out by Aspinall. Stipe is 42 and a win over him won't mean that much because of his age. That's not to say Stipe can't beat him but Aspinall is a much bigger challenge. I'd say most fans consider Aspinall the real heavyweight champ. Beating one heavyweight that was an interum champ and then lost it before Jones beat him hardly qualifies you as heavyweight champ. But hey Dana loves him I guess because he remained faithful to the UFC.

Francis - lost to ? Aspinal- lost to? Jones- won for over 10 years gave you 92% of knockouts ,he leave light , middle, to go heavy wieght naturally for 3 to 4 years he shows up older and heavier demolished a former champion 🏆 . Now you want him to fight a young guy that fought bums ? Aspinal hasn't fought no one like a Rampage , this guy is basic . So when Jones beats him then what you'll pull another guy out your Azz?
