Because he’s one of if not the best rn. You don’t get there by being complacent. He’s also not lying. He won and did great but looked sloppy. He can perform at a level at near perfect. He knows that.
@@RetroEcoChickenJon's is running away from Tom because he knows that on stand up he will get knocked out easily, Tom just need to focus on grappling defense that's it,
Tom is a nice guy but Jon doesn’t respond to kindness. He’s a narcissistic ego maniac. That was his chance to tell the world how afraid Jon is of him and how his legacy will be known as the guy who ran away to avoid him. Jon being the narcissistic ego maniac he is will feel forced to fight him. No chance jon fights him, he retires
You’re right, but if Jon does retire, then we all know he’s afraid of the challenge. Tom has clearly put it out there, the fans want to see it and nobody thinks the Stipe fight carries any weight.
To be fair it must be pretty annoying spending all that time to work towards the fight, all the hype and anxiety about fighting a legend just for it to end that fast, it must be pretty disappointing and anti climatic If I was a fighter I would prefer the fight to go as long as possible just to prove to my self and everyone else that I was a true fighter and could go the distance and still be standing after taking some hard shots that would put anyone else down It would also be more entertaining for the fans to see a long fight with a big ko later on and not a cheap ko in the first round
@@ianhayes3980 I’m friends with amateur and pro fighters. Getting an early KO is their favorite outcome. They take little to no damage, get a finish on their record, and have a good chance of getting a bonus.
The guy came in trim as fuck clearly prepped for 5x5, and it's one of his fastest wins yet. It's ridiculous how he keeps doing it. He always trains for 25 minutes, but has an average fight time of 1 minute and 45 seconds.
Best in the world. People saying he’s too nice, but he’s still got the confidence to believe he can beat anyone, he doesn’t need to be a dick to create a buzz with the fans
There is no won for aspinall in that fight, if he wins people will say he beat an old Jon Jones if he loses then it shows that this current division is no where near the level it used to be
Let’s be honest Tom vs Alex is the real title fight if jones wanted it he would have smashed stipe and already been there he’s running scared this guy is a machine
@@quantumblurrrAs much as he's a likeable guy, people like Tom Aspinall are NOT common. We're not talking a dime-a-dozen guy here ok?Dudes a freak athlete. A freak athlete who's fully lined up to be one of the best ever. He has a very special mindset.
God bless you Tom, your humility is incredible. I can’t see either Jones or Stipe wanting to enter the octagon with this man. They are built different in the UK!
Jones fought people smaller than him his entire career, and when he finally didn't have a massive height/reach advantage he went to decisions with fighters like Dominick Reyes, Anthony Smith, and Ovince St. Preux. Tom Aspinall destroys him.
He almost murdered Smith it doesn't matter if it was a decision. He clearly beat OSP too. What about Gus, Gane and Glover. All tall dudes who lost to Jones.
@@GoatlikeitornotAll lost to jones, but you don’t mention reyes who got robbed of a win against Jon. Gus gave him a run for his money, a guy who matched his size and stature. Don’t get me wrong, I am a Jon fan, but Aspinall is potentially the most well rounded fighter Jon will face if he ever decides to fight him, and has the height advantage at 6’5 too. The man boxes with the Furies and trains with Glory GOAT Rico Verhoeven. I did my research, this kid is legit.
@@Goatlikeitornot Glover is a good win, Gus was extremely close except that time Jon popped for PEDs and had the event moved to another commision. Gane is a good win on paper, but if we had known how incompetent he is on the ground no one would expect Jon not to dominate him. His most legit win recently (or at least in his last couple) is probably Smith lmao and he still delivered an illegal knee.
That's the biggest lie about Jones ever. He fought HWs that were cutting to LHW. Machida was a HW before going down. Bader was a HW later Bellator HW champ DC strikeforce HW champ later UFC HW champ Belfort UFC 12 HW Tournament winner 9-2 as a HW. Vera was WEC HW champ and then ONE HW champ Rampage fought at HW.
Wow, Tom is a real mature and intelligent personality, talking about autism awareness and all the problems families have to overcome, while he stays so humble regarding the topic. Deep respect for the best heavy weight!
Jon at this point is all about his legacy. He probably realizes now that he can't avoid Tom anymore. If he beats Stipe he's gonna have to face Tom before retiring, otherwise it leaves a huge asterisk by his name and legacy.
Or, he can just retired at that moment and leave the fans just like that because if he think he cant beat him, that's the best way to do for him honestly.
Here's the deal: Jones has a die-hard fanbase, frothing at the mouth to defend their boy as the greatest thing that's ever happened in MMA, and the guy can do anything he wants to and they'll still defend him. Then, there's a large(and growing) contingent that recognizes that Jon Jones already has too many asterisks next to his name to be taken that seriously. Ultimately, Jones will likely fight Stipe and retire, because he's still got a legion of fans to stroke his ego, and the only thing that would shake that would be a definitive loss.
@@ismailshtewi8560 i mean, if you put it in jones perspective, it would be better to ducked aspinal rather then fight him, because if he loss, Everything he build Will be broken, and his quote about Being the greatest and never loss agains anybody Will become a joke for himself considering there is some people that almost beat him in the past and the med he use to enhance his performance Will be even more relevant to his career
Tom is the model for what a UFC CHAMPION should be!! Not a drug cheat whos greatest days are wayyyyy behind him! Tommy blows the doors off Jon Jones!!!
@@aronviranyi458I'm not sure, Francis throws his whole body mass into a hook to KO someone, while Aspinall just drops you with a jab (Curtis) or a simple straight right to the top of the head (Pavlovich) not even to the chin
A top man and great ambassador for the UK, respectful to his opponents ,totally agree with the stoppage there was no need for Curtis to take more damage as every punch at heavyweight counts
I remember watching his ufc debut , knew hed be champ. Remember someone replying to my comments saying he wouldnt even beat anyone ranked, where are you now
Absolutely agree with tom, what idiots are saying early stoppage. He got dropped on his a*s and literally got hit with 8-10 unanswered shots from a heavy weight that’s ko’ing people for fun inside the first round every time.. great reffing! Anyone that thinks otherwise need help 😂
Congratulations, Tom, an average guy from a normal family & area in Manchester. Your inspiration and words of wisdom honest and true... I'll go all in with you bro!!! Keep the octagon rocking and don't forget..... HAVE FUN RULING THE RUST, ❤ IRISH PSULIE
Tom is my new favourite fighter. What an absolute beast in the cage - nobody's getting close to him. Plus he is intelligent, respectful and charismatic. Brilliant for the HW division and the sport in general.
I’m so happy for the man. Comes across as a great person and it’s even nicer to prove a lot of my friends wrong when I said a long time ago that he was the next big thing and they said no chance. Suck eggs 🥚
Tom aspinall v Jones at Wembley, you could easily fill it , noel plays him out to supersonic and paddy fights and Leon rematch , nganeou ringside for crossover finale who is best next ,of course insert stipe should he win So easy make millions
Jones would never give Tom that advantage! He won't even take a last minute fight against Chael Sonnen! He always stacks the deck in his favor and then acts like he's just that good!
Tom is a serious Dude, and seemingly a really good Dude. He really is a beast. Don't know if he's got 1 up on Jon Jones, but it certainly would be interesting to see. I think it's probably more interesting as a fight than Stipe but then again Stipe is awesome too. I guess we'll see.
i knew when i saw curtis lunge that he was going to get koed......man curtis............you had such a chance if you wrestled......still im a fan of both so big ups for aspinal. saw the agresion form curtis and responded with a masterpice.
Feel bad for this lad. He is a nice guy with talent and potential to become a superstar. UK stands with him. Yet, Dana is not giving this man what he has rightfully earned. Dana would make him fight Volkov or probably Alex Pereira and defend his interim title to the eternity.
So if Tom is a good as he says he is, he doesn't need Jones or Stipe to establish his ultimate impact on the sport. If he shatters what Jones or Stipe has done, he can stand in line and compete with all the greats in history for GOAT status.
Tom as trained with the fury family from a kid the man can punch harder than hes letting on to people. Thats why his timing is impeccable hes probably hits harder than francis but tom doesn't throw as wild tom aspniall is the future goat of the ufc john jons wont he even be heard about in 3 years time this man still guna be undfeated with 100% finish rates
Tom aspinall the type of dude to ko an opponent in one round and say it was a disappointing performance
He did eat some shots. Would love to see him vs jones
