Saw that fight and only thing I could think of is the ring doctor didn't think it was impacting the fighter's ability to fight.
UFC card this past weekend was really good. Still can't believe at 37 years of Age Jon Jones is that good. I find it amusing Tom Aspinall is calling out Jon Jones and accusing him of ducking the fight. Aspinall hasn't beaten anyone worth a dam and he thinks he is on Jon Jones level. Honestly, I hope Jones fights him and beats his A$$ for an easy paycheck. I give Jones 3 maybe 4 more fights and he will retire as he should. Nobody is on his level at Light Heavyweight or Heavyweight. People love to hate Jones because he has completely dominated the sport for so long.
Who has Tom beaten that is worth a dam? Nobody! He doesn't have the skillset or speed to beat Jones. Tom either gets choked out or knocked out by Jones and that is the bottom line. Everybody thinks they can beat Jon Jones until they get in the cage with him and then they realize it aint happening.Tom has done more prior to his interim title shot than Jon did when he was given a shot against a much older shogun Rua. Tom has beaten 3 of the top 5 in heavyweight (easily) and that's only because Gane and Jones are ducking him.
Jones ducked ngannou and is doing the same now while holding up the division for his "legacy" and has already said after Stipe he prefers to fight Alex, which is another easy fight for him.
Jones will likely do one of two things. He will either force ufc to pay him McGregor money to fight Tom or he will continue to try to force Alex and make Ufc strip him.
Say what you want about the status of the current heavyweight division, Tom is clearly the best and Jones is acting like Tom calling him out is unjustified. How is he not ducking?
Tom has beaten everyone the UFC has put in front of him with the exception of the fight where he tore his knee up vs Blades. Doesn't have the speed to beat Jones? What did you think about a 42 year old Stipe? I thought I was watching the Jake Paul vs Tyson fight all over again! You apparently have never watched a Tom Aspinall fight. If Tom doesn't have the speed then there ain't a heavyweight alive that does. And when Dana White has to say that Jones is either fighting Aspinall next or he is retiring then yes, he is a duck.Who has Tom beaten that is worth a dam? Nobody!
