It's funny eh it's like Jon never ever trains. You can only be 27-1 (0) If you train your butt off. Sacrifice your life and people just disregard all that. You know what after all if people shit on him maybe he should retire.
Only shot? lol. He is an insanely good wrestler and we haven't seen Tom's ground game. Jones has a 6 inch reach advantage and some of the most unanticipated elbow strikes the UFC has seen. Aspinall has never seen R2. We have no idea what kind of stamina he has. I hope to god Tom wins, everyone wants to see Jon get slept, but discrediting who is probably the most well-rounded fighter in the history of the sport is just crazy.
@teddystriker I really don't know about that and I doubt it. One of the things of the modern world is to accept LGBTQ , but it's supposed to be big news when someone comes out? Those are games that I don't participate in. However I do think Jones' career is mostly fabricated
"I study my opponents extensively" Has a close 25 minute snoozefest "I didnt even train for the fight" "He studies." Thats literally what every fighter does, but as you say later, we havent seen much from aspinal... but we got 10+ title defences of jon to pick apart so i dont think he has much pad on that. "Jons defense" is due to having an average of 8 inch reach advantage over his opponents with 0 threat of a takedown. he also got tagged by reyes for 3 rounds.... tom is literally bigger than jon and faster than reyes. Jon has yet to drop a single opponent with his hands jons first 2 fights lasted longer than toms entire ufc career. Peds? Jon couldnt finish anthony smith in 25 minutes as the "goat" seems like a bunch of cope, but thats just your opinion.
These are pretty weak arguments to bring up about the potential fight, and just appears like you hate Jon too much to see his talent objectively. Jon's main game plan in his fights are to wear down his opponents as much as possible, unless of course there is a distinct weakness to their mma where he can finish easily. Which explains fights like Anthony Smith where he isn't necessarily easy to finish, but easier to chop down. So really, finishes aren't everything. If we're talking about their track record, you cannot deny that Jon went up against anyone and everyone, and specifically targeted fighters with high fight IQ. There isn't much of that in the heavyweight division, especially under fights Tom participated in. I'd even argue that the Stipe fight would've been more of a challenge for Jon to take than for him to fight against Tom. Even with older and fatter Jones, you're still going to have a tough time defending Tom with his limited experience in the UFC.
@@Siosifa You just sum up all my facts (i have more) as im a hater, then type a paragraph to say tom dont have the experience and stipes the hardest fight. literally fk off.
@@frankgallagur2045 jones defense is due to him recognize when his opponents are about to attack and being able to keep his distance, Jones also didn’t take Reyes santos or smith seriously, and Aspinall looks fast as a HEAVYWEIGHT Reyes looks fast as a Lightheavyweight there’s a clear difference
@@SiosifaI think you might be too much on the other side of idolising Jones so much you don't recognise Tom Aspinall's strengths. To say that a 40+ year old, back from retirement Stipe would be a more challenging matchup than the current Interim champion who is just entering his prime is, with no disrespect to Stipe, just crazy to me 😂
@@Eddie_M16 I actually thought Gane was going to win Jon's last fight considering the huge HW push, which obviously was very silly of me to overlook technique with weight. It's too simple of an excuse to factor in weight or speed when there's a deeper level of understanding mma, especially under ufc. Tom just has yet to fight someone who has a complete kit to their mma, someone who can give Tom an idea of what Jones can do in order for him to prepare properly for that potential fight. So far we've only seen Tom in 2 rounds which is great that he gets the job done so quickly, but in context to those fights, that's just not enough to measure up to a fighter like Jon. I'm not trying to idolize Jon, that's just the nature of when you compare these two fighters objectively.
"ooh, he's trying to gapclose, better jab him in the eye again" Jon's had never displayed any fight iq, he was significantly bigger than his opponents with a grappling background, any time he couldn't use size and eye poke to maintain distance, he struggled
Yeah right, not mighty mouse? Dude thinks about three things when he gets in there with Tom 1.) Why did I say yes to this? 2.) How should I beat my partner when I get home? 3.) Eye poke?
I know you say this as a way to try and shit on him... but the reality is he's beating these athletes while treating the entire ufc like a joke... that should tell you something. All reality without fanboying jones looks like he's fucking around most of the time, we know this is true because he ain't training like he says he is. we know he was drinking heavy and doing coke for a fact so... people just want to hate on the dude, reality is everyone hating on him's insecure, look in the mirror and lie to yourself that you don't have skeletons in your closet.... we all know you do, and everyone else has em too. But y'all ain't ready for THAT conversation.
People dont understand that Jones actually trained whit big heavyweights during his career trained whit Travis browne, Alistair Overeem and many more and for many to say he doesnt stand a chance is laughable even the Cyril Fight people said he wouldnt be able cause of speed and natural weight difference but then again many are just probably haters ... love Aspinall but Jones is for sure one of the best fighters ever
@@richard24one absolutely, I don’t think Aspinall is going to bring something Jon hasn’t seen before, and that’s no diss to Aspinall it just shows how vast jones’ experience is
@@teddystriker ''absolutely, I don’t think Aspinall is going to bring something Jon hasn’t seen before'' Dude, what? Aspinall IS something we've never seen before. Jon's experience? When has Jon ever fought a younger man with world level grappling AND striking who hits like Ngannou (if not harder) and moves like a welterweight at a walk around weight frame of 270+lbs? Aspinall is something nobody has ever seen before. The more you watch the fights of the guys he's beat like Volkov and Pav and Blaydes, the more ridiculous it gets that he was able to do to them what they were able to do to so many others. Look at Gane fighting Tai, then look at Volkov and Pav doing it. Night and day. And Tom did to those guys what they did to Tai. Worse. Name me one time Jon ever did to anyone what Tom has done to Volkov or Pav or Blaydes or Tybura or Spivac. Jon spent 25 minutes failing to finish Anthony Smith. Tom has spent 14 minutes inside the cage/octagon in his entire 18 fight career. Tom is levels above. Not even comparable. Jon can't even see him when he looks up with binoculars. Even with a ton of external male hormone injections, he still isn't half the man Tom is.
@@teddystriker exactly my dude but yh a lot of people that started to watch a few years ago are suddenly pro fighters and think they know it al you know how it goes whit those keyboard wariors sure Tom does have a chance bigger then most but still Jones has seen a lot of things in his career also they forget he is very smart in how he aproaches a fight the problem i think is also they have seen Jones only in his unmotivated fights of late and think he will fight the same as in his end career of lightheavyweight they should have seen his whole career from the start of the UFC
@@Muhammad_The_Goat_Ali Everyone knows ufc records is all that counts, saying otherwise is cope. Ufc is the elite level, not youngsters trying to get into ufc.
@@teddystriker Jon retires after that fight. He accidentally gave it away by saying ''Retired first year of 37'' to a ''hater'' recently. Since the Stipe fight is in Nov, that means Jon would have to fight Tom in Dec. We all know he ain't doing that with his average 1 fight per 3 years, so yeah. He's already got his retirement planned. Tom makes him shit himself.
I think people aren't underestimating Jon Jones, as much as they're sick of what has been all talk and no show for the past year and half. I think everyone knows he's the best light heavyweight in history, but the man has been harping on about his heavyweight GOAT status when we've only seen him fight once in the division.
Jon Jones has always struggled against pressure punchers. Loyoto machida, Reyes, and Gustafson. Thats exactly what Tom is except with a lot more power. As well has having better grappling
@@KobyMathews he did struggle but he overcame it and found a way to win towards the end of those fights, early in the fight Aspinall will probably give him problems but how’s he going to look in those later rounds?
NOBODY It’s under estimating his ability to duck Tom. NOBODY was underestimating his ability to flee, the lightweight division like a coward, after losing to Dominic.
@@tomedinburgh4490Damn, I mean they put BSD as a favourite over Dustin, Gaethje as a favourite over Max, Jones shouldn’t be the underdog in any of his fights
@@teddystrikerbsd was seen as a decent to good grappler at the time and old dustin was seen as being bad against good grapplers, so that made sense. justin was an actual 155 and arguably the hardest hitting one that in his last fight looked like he even got better skill wise and max had tried to move up weight before and loss to a guy justin koed, so that also makes sense. tom is a young heavyweight that weighs more than jon, is faster than jon, has great grappling so jon isn’t just better there, and jon is notoriously bad at defending against good fast boxers which tom is. im sorry but tom is the favorite and jon’s should be the underdog
@@tomedinburgh4490 Tom has never hit R2. For all we know, this dude could run out of gas if they get to R3. Also, the roids thing? Sure, he was caught, but it's not like he was just knocking everyone out. Steroids don't give technique, they give power. He is probably the most well-rounded fighters we will ever see. He wins making adjustments. These guys in heavyweight are one tricks. They punch hard. Whoever punches more flush wins. They're sloppy. Also, a decade? Little exaggerative.
Simple game plan on jones side... oblique kicks early in round. jon's never been knocked down, let alone knocked out (aside from the slip from the body kick he took and fell due to balance. never been knocked down due to head injury) All he has to do is cut aspinall's movement and then he wins regardless of method he chooses.
So he’s going to study about 5 minutes of tape 😂 Remember Aspinalls fights last about a minute. Never been hit by a proper heavyweight. He’s got no chance pal.
Jon Jonas is more of methodological and studies the opponent and exploits a weaknesses whereas Tom Aspinall also has fight IQ but he more dependent on the opportunities to exploit . In conclusion Jon Jonas is the best in my perspective but Aspinall will close the distance in the fight and give him brutal knockout sleep
Jones beaten legends who were 9 years older and a lot shorter than him. And struggled against tall, young Dominick Reyes and Alexander Gustafsson. I believe Tom will be a lot more difficult than those two.
I dont wanna watch the fight to see jones lose. I wanna see a great fight. And to see how jones is at heavyweight against a real match up. Not some one dimensional dude or an old man
As a fighter everything Ive ever seen Jon do was “ok”as far as skills involved… I’ve never seen him do anything spectacular… he wins and that’s “ok” oblique kicks are “ok” when anyone comes in to fight back up and use 84in reach to eye poke that’s “ok” his wrestling is “ok” striking is “ok” Jon has my vote for the “Ok-est fighter of all time”
@@gracemercy5825 jones is good everywhere but maybe doesn’t excel in a certain area but I would say his grappling is impressive considering he took down a guy like dc and finished a guy like vitor or chael on the ground
I’m going to explain this why aspinal beats jones 99/100 times because he’s literally the perfectly crafted nightmare matchup for Jon aspinal has a reach about the same as Jon he’s actually a lot bigger than him proved when they met his power is insane and speed as well for a heavyweight and his bread and butter is boxing not only that he’s got elite grappling and has been doing jui jitsu his entire life so he can hang with jones on the ground jones striking defense is based on his long reach and keeping people at range but jones and aspinal have the same range and aspinal is noticeably taller than jon jons main hole in his game has always been boxing just look at the first gus fight the Reyes fight and actually look at the second dc fight before the finish jon has pillow hands and aspinal has a granite chin there’s no way Jon can finish him and if aspinal and floor Curtis with Jab he can sleep jones he’s the perfectly crafted nightmare matchup
@@somerandomguy2447 Aspinall is definitely dangerous, but Look at Volkov vs Aspinall and how hard it was for Tom to hit him, Jones is getting out the way of fast punches from light heavyweights constantly, he can also for a clinch when Tom closes the distance similar to how Jon forced a clinch with ciryl when he blitzed in, also Jon has a granite chin, Tom’s been hit once clean… And Kurtis Blaydes has been ko’ed 4 times before Aspinall, dropping him as he walking into the punch doesn’t mean Jones will get slept This is a close fight, Don’t write Jones off
@@teddystriker okay that’s a horrible example as Tom finished him in the first round also I don’t see how you guys can see Jon as this perfect fighter he has flaws jones defense is a huge liability and at lhw he had a good chin to take bombs from Gus Reyes and santos who all tagged him up even dc was tagging him the second fight Jon relies on a crazy reach but like I said Tom is the perfect nightmare matchup for Jon I’m not saying Tom would make it look easy but if dc can get in range to land bombs Tom can as well teh only difference is Tom is a British ngannou and his speed power and accuracy are crazy this takes nothing from jones he’ll be the goat until someone does some crazy shit like be a 3 division champ or get 20 defenses but some people are bad matchups even for the goat and Jon isn’t perfect no fighter is gsp lost to Matt Serra when he was in his prime Jon had a robbery against Reyes it doesn’t change that there both the two greatest of all time Tom is just jones nightmare matchup
@@teddystrikerand also you’re not think about this jones isn’t in his prime yes he was incredible in his prime but we’re gonna see a fat older jones who’s slower fight Tom in his prime it’d be a closer fight and had jones moved up to heavyweight in his prime it’d be a 50/50 fight but outside of the stars aligning this version of jones doesn’t stand a chance
when you watch the video you can plainly see Aspinals speed, Jones has never faced anything like it, I also don't think Jones wants to go on the ground with Aspinal, Its his best weapon and he will be stronger than Jones
@@GeneralMe100 Aspinall is fast, but I think jones has fought faster guys, and if you look at Aspinall vs a guy named Stuart, you’ll see why jones would WANT to take Aspinall down
@@teddystriker I agree, but I also think thats where his downfall is, the truth is Aspinal is a ground figheter and a true heavyweight, the faster fighters were all smaller than Jones, can you imagine the likes of RUA or Machida against Aspinal, Gane his only heavyweight fight is hopeless on the ground, Jones is mostly a decision fighter, that means he will most likely have to endure 5 rounds with Aspinal, its possible but unlikely.
Stipe is 42 this month and hasn't fought in over 3 years..Whats the point of this fight? I assume this will be Jones last fight... Why do people think Jones is the same fighter that he used to be? He's 37 and has fought one time in 4.5 years.... It's over for him after his fight with old man Stipe...
And if you don't mind me asking what makes him underdog because Tom Asal out of all his fights has only two impressive wins on his entire run. We are glorifying him beating a guy who literally beat him two years ago like I don't understand legitimately why this dude is gotten all this hype.
But this is no different than Floyd Mayweather versus Canelo where are y'all just glorified him glazed him until he lost and then it was on the next young fighter that disrespected Floyd Mayweather with
@teddystriker Jones has had problems with athletic guys that were the same size as him. Aspinal moves better than Reyes and has 1 punch ko power and jones is old.
Lil bro, this is the most bra!n damaged comment I ever read... Biggest mistake Jones opponents could do arguably is underestimate him, not the fans. The fans ain't fighting him.
@@MartialArtsNk Read the title and compare it, Kid. The title says "Jon should not be underestimated against Tom". Whom do you think the title is aimed at? Tom or the fans? Stop being stupid. Grow up.
I would love to see Jones BEAT Aspinall, then retire. That would be quite a feat. Then we can just watch Aspinall KO everybody else for the next 5 years 😂
Well sadly, after jon fights stipe, he won't fight Tom because that's too much risk for his legacy as a "goat", he simply won't fight him he is SCARED if big Tommy, simple as it gets.
@@adamboumaza1017 i don’t think a fighter let alone Jon jones is scared to fight anyone, it would be a good fight but if it doesn’t happen and jones walks away then it is what it is
The Jones hate is going to far man, I think Aspinall should be the favorite, but it's a close fight. They hate Jon because of the person he is, not because of his fight style. Imagine saying the argument "Reyes won" like if Reyes is comparable to Aspinall, Reyes has 100% better defense and fight iq than Aspinall, Aspinall decided to take punches from Blaydes and Pavlovich like if his chin is gonna take that forever, let's test his wrestling against Jones and his chin against Pereira.
@@EG-mw8kp absolutely bro, you gotta remove your emotions when picking a fight, and aspinall’s speed is made out to be this crazy exotic thing that jones has never seen before even tho he’s fought guys 5x faster
@@teddystrikerI don't think it is recency bias in every case. Jon Jones' career is well documented and constantly talked about, and he is still generally considered the goat, even by people that think Tom Aspinall would beat him.
Tom's greatest strength at HW has been his speed, but he will not have the speed advantage that he's used too, Jones has faced many LHW that are faster than Tom. Jon has better striking and way better wrestling than Tom, Tom only wins if Jon is past his prime to the point he's no longer who he used to be, otherwise Jon beats him on the feet and the ground.
Jon does not have better striking, just watch Tom's fights. And Jon has yet to prove that he can wrestle just as good against heavyweight like Tom or Curtis, there is a huge difference, because Jon was always the bigger one in LHW. Ofc, if Jon wins, he is still the goat, if Tom wins, Jon's out of his prime and his lost dont matter that much, you're already coping.
@@vojtechralis6075 look I've watching UFC literally since the beginning, UFC 1. Although I was a casual until around UFC 30 something... I've seen Tom fight and I believe Jon is better than him everywhere. I'm not a Jon fan, I'm a fight fan, I call it how I see it no biase. That's the big difference between me and most people I chat with about this, they hate Jon and love Tom whereas I love neither and respect both. Jon's wrestling is very high level, if you don't think so go find out just how good DC is. Or Henderson. I'm not coping, I don't care who wins, I'm just calling it how I see it. Jon is better everywhere, but father time is undefeated and he's been doing this at the highest level for so long, too long lol. Either you forgot, or you haven't been around long enough to know.
Well jon is just different kind of fighters i still gonna bet on jon if he fight aspinal because i never lose a single bet everytime im betting on jon ever since 1st dc fight...
I met Jones in Los Angeles about 8 years ago. He walked up to where I was standing outside of a night club and just started talking to me. I'm like what's happening here? Lol. I think he thought I was someone else at first and we talked for about 5 minutes. It was surreal but he get's a bad reputation when he's a cool guy.
He beat his wife and hit a pregnant woman with his car and ran, but he’s cool because he mistook you for someone else and spoke to you for three minutes while he was probably wasted 💀
@@Eddie_M16 I hate the "everyone has flaws" argument, sure, everyone have had misbehaviours and stuff, but not everyone has beaten his wife to the point the children in the home have to call the police, and not everyone have crashed against a pregnant woman and then returned only to hide the evidence of drug abuse instead of helping the other person💀 if you heard these type of things about any average joe you would want him rotting in jail, not all human flaws are equal
The problem is yes Jones is good defensively but even though Jones has fought for most of his career at the lighter weigh class aspinall will be the quickest fighter he will ever face and also let’s not pretend this is prime Jones at light heavyweight, Jones looked awful against gane and only won because gane has no ground game or he took a dive for money but that’s not been confirmed
I thought I was the only one who found it a bit preposterous that Jones in all his bs , is an underdog against Aspinall. That PED’s abusing entity might pull of an upset and cause Aspinall to turn into a heavyweight Darren Till. Never underestimate that guy
No comparison to Cyril Gane. Gane can't wrestle. That is NOT Tom Aspinall. Tom will not be playing FIFA. Reyes is not comparable to Cyril. Reyes was a wrestler and his defensive wrestling kept Jones from doing what he did to Cyril.
Why so much hate for jones is it because he does coke, so does conor McGregor, he is on steroids, so is all of the ufc. He got assault charges so does conor McGregor, he is an asshole, most people who fight have to have that dog in em.

Knocking out Pavlovich and TKO-ing Blaydes isn't that great of a milestone. There are guys in the PFL that could do that (I'm not including Ngannou here). That's obvious as he's already destroyed Blaydes when in the UFC.
Leave them... There's nothing Jones hasn't seen. He's fought heavy hitters, fast fighters, wrestlers, technical guys, stylistic fighters, hyped up fighters, monsters & IQ fighters. He's been there and done that... To be honest, there's nothing that Aspinall has shown to suggest that he'll actually beat Jones. The fight durations of Aspinall fights are what people are fooled by.
Dude, what? Aspinall IS something we've never seen before. Jon's experience? When has Jon ever fought a younger man with world level grappling AND striking who hits like Ngannou (if not harder) and moves like a welterweight at a walk around weight frame of 270+lbs?

Why does everyone lick Jones butt? He is good but not THAT good. - Most of his career has been against inflated middleweights. He almost always had a size advantage over his opponents and struggled with anyone near his own size. - His only win in heavyweight has been against a striker who sucks at wrestling who Jones outwrestled. - he doesn't have knockout power - a lot of his career has been tainted by preformance enhancing drugs - A lot of people expect eye pokes from him In reality, Aspinal would likely outstrike him. He's too quick for Jones and i don't think Jones will risk stand-up. Aspinal wrestling hasn't been demonstrated but Aspinal more than likely will focus on that during his training I dont think Jones will fight Aspinal though. He doesn't want to risk losing. He would rather fight an old Stipe since he thinks he's easier
Tom Aspinall is good, but the ufc heavyweight sucks at the time, just like the light heavyweight!! UFC is all about ppv fighters now, who has the fan base.. they have 2 or 3 well-rounded fighters in both classes !! The UFC had better fighters back a few years ago.... Name on well-rounded fighter Aspinall has beat???? Heavyweight has brawlers.. Jon doesn't have anything left to prove to anyone, The man beat the elites the best of the best !! 15 title defense win, 16 championship wins, never been beat, Jon didn't have easy fights!! Aspinall, khabib, GSP- DJ , fador..... Nobody has a better record
@@teddystriker The only way for Jones to win is by winning 3 out of 5 rounds to secure decision. When was the last time Aspinall won by decision? Yeah, longest was submission in second round.
People are judgeing Jones on his inactivity and on his personality. But the thing is Jones came back 3 years after inactivity and put away Cyril like it was nothing. He's a natural talent khabibs dad said it. Don't forget that Jones is a dirty fighter and he will kick that knee that Aspinall had surgery on he will just be like that. I also think Jones has bigger reproductive organs and that makes somebody hold more testosteron. But we'll see how it goes and I gave you a thumbs up because this is a great perspective. And the only thing that Aspinall has is speed and that he is younger but we'll see I hope jones doesn't bail!!
Yeah that's exactly what jon would do, attack toms bad knee along with the oblique kicks and eye pokes, jons going to be gutted when those new gloves start getting used he is a dirty fighter and its that what will possibly win the fight for him. But in my opinion tom wins by knockout cause Jon's tapping for no one good luck to both of them it will be a great fight however short it is 😂
I love Jon Jonas but STILL i believe Tom Aspinall can beat Jon with a knockout in the very first round because the fucker is bulldozer and he will run over him 😂
Jon Jones is definitely not underestimating tom aspinall he may be overestimating him. To go into retirement to avoid fighting him. Either the drugs really took a toll on him these last 3 years or he turned into a chicken " bones'"
Also tom aspinall trains with only heavyweights and very dangerous bjj John Jones will not be the favorite. Maybe I light heavy, but not here.I'm not saying he can't win , but it will be a hard fight
i feel like his only problem is how he lean back to avoid punches and his fighting iq is not as smart as jones, but he is physically way better than jones so i dont see jones knocking him out and even to wrestle aspinall would be super hard but we'll never know.
@@pramudyaprilo4750 he has the physicality for sure but we haven’t seen much from him, all his fights end in the first, the wrestling would be interesting but I think jones’ strength technique and variety could help him get a takedown

@@ZaharJudah I can definitely see that happening, Tom had a fight with some dude named Stuart Austin and he was easily out wrestled and his speed was no where to be seen in the second rd after a heavy grappling first rd, Also I don’t get why people think jones can’t ko him, he’s walking around 250, he can definitely drop him as Aspinall comes into range, and he’s got elbows that can drop him too
Tom has not proven himself he hasn't beat a great fighter yet he hasn't fought anyone that's great he has 14 wins and three losses and I understand right now the heavyweight division is at its weakest it's ever been when it comes to having great Fighters but Jon Jones would beat Tom with no problem then John get ready to retire and then they would say oh but here comes this other guy I've been hearing this since John started 13 years ago and it still hasn't happened and like we're acting like Tom has done went through Francis beat a prime Daniel Cormier and just wiped out a heavyweight division he hasn't proven himself yet against a great opponent and I'm not a big Jon Jones fan but I'm not delusional either. One year ago nobody knew who Tom was and the same thing with k h a m z a t he came out destroying everybody until he got tested with a top 10 fighter Gilbert Burns and you can arguably say he lost that fight it could have went either way with the judges and it's been a battle ever since

"I didnt even train for the fight"
"He studies." Thats literally what every fighter does, but as you say later, we havent seen much from aspinal... but we got 10+ title defences of jon to pick apart so i dont think he has much pad on that.
"Jons defense" is due to having an average of 8 inch reach advantage over his opponents with 0 threat of a takedown. he also got tagged by reyes for 3 rounds.... tom is literally bigger than jon and faster than reyes.
Jon has yet to drop a single opponent with his hands
jons first 2 fights lasted longer than toms entire ufc career.
Peds?
Jon couldnt finish anthony smith in 25 minutes as the "goat"
seems like a bunch of cope, but thats just your opinion.
These are pretty weak arguments to bring up about the potential fight, and just appears like you hate Jon too much to see his talent objectively.
Jon's main game plan in his fights are to wear down his opponents as much as possible, unless of course there is a distinct weakness to their mma where he can finish easily. Which explains fights like Anthony Smith where he isn't necessarily easy to finish, but easier to chop down. So really, finishes aren't everything.
If we're talking about their track record, you cannot deny that Jon went up against anyone and everyone, and specifically targeted fighters with high fight IQ. There isn't much of that in the heavyweight division, especially under fights Tom participated in. I'd even argue that the Stipe fight would've been more of a challenge for Jon to take than for him to fight against Tom.
Even with older and fatter Jones, you're still going to have a tough time defending Tom with his limited experience in the UFC.
@@Siosifa You just sum up all my facts (i have more) as im a hater, then type a paragraph to say tom dont have the experience and stipes the hardest fight.
literally fk off.
@@frankgallagur2045 jones defense is due to him recognize when his opponents are about to attack and being able to keep his distance, Jones also didn’t take Reyes santos or smith seriously, and Aspinall looks fast as a HEAVYWEIGHT Reyes looks fast as a Lightheavyweight there’s a clear difference
@@SiosifaI think you might be too much on the other side of idolising Jones so much you don't recognise Tom Aspinall's strengths. To say that a 40+ year old, back from retirement Stipe would be a more challenging matchup than the current Interim champion who is just entering his prime is, with no disrespect to Stipe, just crazy to me 😂
@@Eddie_M16 I actually thought Gane was going to win Jon's last fight considering the huge HW push, which obviously was very silly of me to overlook technique with weight. It's too simple of an excuse to factor in weight or speed when there's a deeper level of understanding mma, especially under ufc. Tom just has yet to fight someone who has a complete kit to their mma, someone who can give Tom an idea of what Jones can do in order for him to prepare properly for that potential fight.
So far we've only seen Tom in 2 rounds which is great that he gets the job done so quickly, but in context to those fights, that's just not enough to measure up to a fighter like Jon. I'm not trying to idolize Jon, that's just the nature of when you compare these two fighters objectively.
I’ll tell one thing. Jones has the best IQ in the history of UFC , he’s surely already studying Aspinall.
DJ
@@issoufguene2439 I think he is studying him Too
Yeah, and all that studying led him to the conclusion that he has no choice but to desperately duck aspinall
"ooh, he's trying to gapclose, better jab him in the eye again" Jon's had never displayed any fight iq, he was significantly bigger than his opponents with a grappling background, any time he couldn't use size and eye poke to maintain distance, he struggled
Yeah right, not mighty mouse?
Dude thinks about three things when he gets in there with Tom
1.) Why did I say yes to this?
2.) How should I beat my partner when I get home?
3.) Eye poke?
with the power of cocaine jon will succeed
I know you say this as a way to try and shit on him... but the reality is he's beating these athletes while treating the entire ufc like a joke... that should tell you something.
All reality without fanboying jones looks like he's fucking around most of the time, we know this is true because he ain't training like he says he is. we know he was drinking heavy and doing coke for a fact so... people just want to hate on the dude, reality is everyone hating on him's insecure, look in the mirror and lie to yourself that you don't have skeletons in your closet.... we all know you do, and everyone else has em too.

@@teddystriker ''absolutely, I don’t think Aspinall is going to bring something Jon hasn’t seen before'' Dude, what? Aspinall IS something we've never seen before. Jon's experience? When has Jon ever fought a younger man with world level grappling AND striking who hits like Ngannou (if not harder) and moves like a welterweight at a walk around weight frame of 270+lbs? Aspinall is something nobody has ever seen before. The more you watch the fights of the guys he's beat like Volkov and Pav and Blaydes, the more ridiculous it gets that he was able to do to them what they were able to do to so many others.
Look at Gane fighting Tai, then look at Volkov and Pav doing it. Night and day. And Tom did to those guys what they did to Tai. Worse. Name me one time Jon ever did to anyone what Tom has done to Volkov or Pav or Blaydes or Tybura or Spivac. Jon spent 25 minutes failing to finish Anthony Smith. Tom has spent 14 minutes inside the cage/octagon in his entire 18 fight career.
Tom is levels above. Not even comparable. Jon can't even see him when he looks up with binoculars. Even with a ton of external male hormone injections, he still isn't half the man Tom is.
@@teddystriker exactly my dude but yh a lot of people that started to watch a few years ago are suddenly pro fighters and think they know it al you know how it goes whit those keyboard wariors sure Tom does have a chance bigger then most but still Jones has seen a lot of things in his career also they forget he is very smart in how he aproaches a fight the problem i think is also they have seen Jones only in his unmotivated fights of late and think he will fight the same as in his end career of lightheavyweight they should have seen his whole career from the start of the UFC

I think people aren't underestimating Jon Jones, as much as they're sick of what has been all talk and no show for the past year and half.

Simple game plan on jones side... oblique kicks early in round. jon's never been knocked down, let alone knocked out (aside from the slip from the body kick he took and fell due to balance. never been knocked down due to head injury) All he has to do is cut aspinall's movement and then he wins regardless of method he chooses.
So he’s going to study about 5 minutes of tape 😂

Jones isn't going to do a thing to Tom Aspinall, because he doesn't want to fight him, he's made it quite clear
Jon Jonas is more of methodological and studies the opponent and exploits a weaknesses whereas Tom Aspinall also has fight IQ but he more dependent on the opportunities to exploit .

Jon won’t take the fight so it doesn’t really matter
Jones beaten legends who were 9 years older and a lot shorter than him. And struggled against tall, young Dominick Reyes and Alexander Gustafsson. I believe Tom will be a lot more difficult than those two.

@@gracemercy5825 jones is good everywhere but maybe doesn’t excel in a certain area but I would say his grappling is impressive considering he took down a guy like dc and finished a guy like vitor or chael on the ground
I’m going to explain this why aspinal beats jones 99/100 times because he’s literally the perfectly crafted nightmare matchup for Jon aspinal has a reach about the same as Jon he’s actually a lot bigger than him proved when they met his power is insane and speed as well for a heavyweight and his bread and butter is boxing not only that he’s got elite grappling and has been doing jui jitsu his entire life so he can hang with jones on the ground jones striking defense is based on his long reach and keeping people at range but jones and aspinal have the same range and aspinal is noticeably taller than jon jons main hole in his game has always been boxing just look at the first gus fight the Reyes fight and actually look at the second dc fight before the finish jon has pillow hands and aspinal has a granite chin there’s no way Jon can finish him and if aspinal and floor Curtis with Jab he can sleep jones he’s the perfectly crafted nightmare matchup

@@teddystriker okay that’s a horrible example as Tom finished him in the first round also I don’t see how you guys can see Jon as this perfect fighter he has flaws jones defense is a huge liability and at lhw he had a good chin to take bombs from Gus Reyes and santos who all tagged him up even dc was tagging him the second fight Jon relies on a crazy reach but like I said Tom is the perfect nightmare matchup for Jon I’m not saying Tom would make it look easy but if dc can get in range to land bombs Tom can as well teh only difference is Tom is a British ngannou and his speed power and accuracy are crazy this takes nothing from jones he’ll be the goat until someone does some crazy shit like be a 3 division champ or get 20 defenses but some people are bad matchups even for the goat and Jon isn’t perfect no fighter is gsp lost to Matt Serra when he was in his prime Jon had a robbery against Reyes it doesn’t change that there both the two greatest of all time Tom is just jones nightmare matchup

Tom's greatest strength at HW has been his speed, but he will not have the speed advantage that he's used too, Jones has faced many LHW that are faster than Tom. Jon has better striking and way better wrestling than Tom, Tom only wins if Jon is past his prime to the point he's no longer who he used to be, otherwise Jon beats him on the feet and the ground.
Jon does not have better striking, just watch Tom's fights. And Jon has yet to prove that he can wrestle just as good against heavyweight like Tom or Curtis, there is a huge difference, because Jon was always the bigger one in LHW.

Look at Gane fighting Tai, then look at Volkov and Pav doing it. Night and day. And Tom did to those guys what they did to Tai. Worse. Name me one time Jon ever did to anyone what Tom has done to Volkov or Pav or Blaydes or Tybura or Spivac. Jon spent 25 minutes failing to finish Anthony Smith. Tom has spent 14 minutes inside the cage/octagon in his entire 18 fight career.
Tom is levels above. Not even comparable. Jon can't even see him when he looks up with binoculars. Even with a ton of external male hormone injections, he still isn't half the man Tom is.
@@TheStraightestWhitest we've seen Aspinall before, just not at Heavyweight... Keep on gassing him. We've seen this before many times
@@EssenceNPower What in the sandwich shit is blud waffling about?
@@TheStraightestWhitest I don't know... You must ask him 😅
Why does everyone lick Jones butt?
He is good but not THAT good.
- Most of his career has been against inflated middleweights. He almost always had a size advantage over his opponents and struggled with anyone near his own size.
- His only win in heavyweight has been against a striker who sucks at wrestling who Jones outwrestled.
- he doesn't have knockout power
- a lot of his career has been tainted by preformance enhancing drugs
- A lot of people expect eye pokes from him
In reality, Aspinal would likely outstrike him. He's too quick for Jones and i don't think Jones will risk stand-up.
Aspinal wrestling hasn't been demonstrated but Aspinal more than likely will focus on that during his training
I dont think Jones will fight Aspinal though. He doesn't want to risk losing. He would rather fight an old Stipe since he thinks he's easier
@@DalazG definitely not doing that, just stating an opinion because I’ve seen a lot of people lick Aspinall’s ….
Tom Aspinall is good, but the ufc heavyweight sucks at the time, just like the light heavyweight!! UFC is all about ppv fighters now, who has the fan base.. they have 2 or 3 well-rounded fighters in both classes !! The UFC had better fighters back a few years ago....
Name on well-rounded fighter Aspinall has beat???? Heavyweight has brawlers..
Jon doesn't have anything left to prove to anyone, The man beat the elites the best of the best !! 15 title defense win, 16 championship wins, never been beat, Jon didn't have easy fights!! Aspinall, khabib, GSP- DJ , fador.....
Nobody has a better record
Jon Jones gets in the pocket all the time.
Good video my man 😉 subd 👊
@@omenblacknwhitetv976 thank you Brother
Jon Jones last knockout was 6 years ago by the way
@@markkars8754 well it’s a good thing there’s other ways to win an MMA fight
@@teddystriker The only way for Jones to win is by winning 3 out of 5 rounds to secure decision. When was the last time Aspinall won by decision? Yeah, longest was submission in second round.
@@markkars8754 lmao that’s a very silly thing to say
People are judgeing Jones on his inactivity and on his personality. But the thing is Jones came back 3 years after inactivity and put away Cyril like it was nothing. He's a natural talent khabibs dad said it. Don't forget that Jones is a dirty fighter and he will kick that knee that Aspinall had surgery on he will just be like that. I also think Jones has bigger reproductive organs and that makes somebody hold more testosteron. But we'll see how it goes and I gave you a thumbs up because this is a great perspective. And the only thing that Aspinall has is speed and that he is younger but we'll see I hope jones doesn't bail!!
Love it, so make them fight then.
Jon Jones is an inspiration to all of the LGBTQ community.

I will stop underestimating Jon Jones when he actually accepts fighting Tom
Jon Jones was able to beat shogun rua at a young age so he will dominate tom
Great video bro 👍🏼
@@jj413_ thank you brotha 🤜🏿
Yeah that's exactly what jon would do, attack toms bad knee along with the oblique kicks and eye pokes, jons going to be gutted when those new gloves start getting used he is a dirty fighter and its that what will possibly win the fight for him. But in my opinion tom wins by knockout cause Jon's tapping for no one good luck to both of them it will be a great fight however short it is 😂
jon jones is good guys long time out also but he is a true ufc fighter i will be suprised if he gets beaten bad
I love Jon Jonas but STILL i believe Tom Aspinall can beat Jon with a knockout in the very first round because the fucker is bulldozer and he will run over him 😂
@@rishusingh428 don’t get me wrong Aspinall can absolutely beat Jon jones but I don’t know if he can run through him
Jon Jones is definitely not underestimating tom aspinall he may be overestimating him. To go into retirement to avoid fighting him. Either the drugs really took a toll on him these last 3 years or he turned into a chicken " bones'"
@@michaelsteiner6710 I think the drugs took a toll on him, seems like he’s aged 10 years in a span of 3 yrs
Also tom aspinall trains with only heavyweights and very dangerous bjj John Jones will not be the favorite. Maybe I light heavy, but not here.I'm not saying he can't win , but it will be a hard fight
@@John........ jones also trains with heavyweights tho
Younger faster and more power. Tom gets hit a lot But I don't think john has the power to stop him Very.
Intriguing I'd pay for that fight
aspinall will knock jones out in 2 round or submit jones 2 round
no one is submitting jon🤣🤣
@@benmckay3655 he’ll ko him with a 1-2? He’s going to submit Jon jones with what
Aspinall ain't knocking anyone 😂😂😂
No idea!
n3on the funniest streamer
Stipe is so old he should retire from his proper job as well as his 1 fight every 3 years ufc moonlighting job
i feel like his only problem is how he lean back to avoid punches and his fighting iq is not as smart as jones, but he is physically way better than jones so i dont see jones knocking him out and even to wrestle aspinall would be super hard but we'll never know.
@@pramudyaprilo4750 he has the physicality for sure but we haven’t seen much from him, all his fights end in the first, the wrestling would be interesting but I think jones’ strength technique and variety could help him get a takedown
Jones is literally just gonna take this low tier wrestler down and beat the dog shi out of him on the ground thats whats going to happen, jones may be physically not in his prime but his (Mental and Skill level) is far superior then his last fights . hes gonna follow toms lead hand slip him into a take down or just shot immediately and out chain wrestle him ( shit or he can just land a punch and ko him🤷🏾♂️ hes a heavy weight cant count that out .
@@ZaharJudah I can definitely see that happening, Tom had a fight with some dude named Stuart Austin and he was easily out wrestled and his speed was no where to be seen in the second rd after a heavy grappling first rd,
Also I don’t get why people think jones can’t ko him, he’s walking around 250, he can definitely drop him as Aspinall comes into range, and he’s got elbows that can drop him too
Tom has not proven himself he hasn't beat a great fighter yet he hasn't fought anyone that's great he has 14 wins and three losses and I understand right now the heavyweight division is at its weakest it's ever been when it comes to having great Fighters but Jon Jones would beat Tom with no problem then John get ready to retire and then they would say oh but here comes this other guy I've been hearing this since John started 13 years ago and it still hasn't happened and like we're acting like Tom has done went through Francis beat a prime Daniel Cormier and just wiped out a heavyweight division he hasn't proven himself yet against a great opponent and I'm not a big Jon Jones fan but I'm not delusional either. One year ago nobody knew who Tom was and the same thing with k h a m z a t he came out destroying everybody until he got tested with a top 10 fighter Gilbert Burns and you can arguably say he lost that fight it could have went either way with the judges and it's been a battle ever since
Im saving this video as receipts when Jones beats the brakes off of him.
@@say5070 yessir 💪🏿
john barely won against reyes..so ssttffuupp
Facts
The problem is that Tom is huge fresh and fast, Jon is not a natural heavyweight
Jon is definitely a natural heavy weight he's suppressed his weight for years to have an advantage at 205
Jon duck ngannou and now aspinal
