Oct 20, 2004 · Aspinall has been lobbying for a title unification bout for months, long before Jones returned to action to dispatch Stipe Miocic via third-round technical knockout at UFC 309 on Nov. 16. In the aftermath of the bout, Jones indicated that a hefty financial offer might convince him to accept a fight against an opponent that he has otherwise been ...

Dec 9, 2023 · To be fair, Aspinall would've tried to wrestle Rozenstruik, just like he wrestled Volkov. I don't think his fight with Volkov was or with Rozenstruik would've been much more entertaining than Sergei's fights if at all. I wanted to see Aspinall vs Gane but it appears Gane still hasn't fixed his dogshit grappling of his.

Jul 20, 2023 · Summary: Aspinall is a talented heavyweight with an excellent blend of strength, technique and agility. However, there are still a lot of unknowns with Aspinall, even beyond how he will come back from the catastrophic knee injury he suffered against Curtis Blaydes a year ago. He has never been truly tested inside the cage.

Mar 28, 2022 · Does Tom Aspinall have the perfect mentality? Since he debuted in the UFC he has been extremely humble, has constantly talked down his progress, has constantly tried (but failed lol) to lower expectations.

Aug 8, 2013 · Tom’s the number one HW in the world right now. There shouldn’t be a debate. Jon and Frank haven’t fought in a bit and also not often enough to deserve this distinction. Frankly I don’t even care if Tom fights either as they’re both irrelevant atm.

Jun 12, 2016 · Name: Tom Aspinall (England) Showing : 2-0 Highlights : Overcomes knee injury to earn a R1 TKO over Marcin Tybura, then nabs interim UFC HW title with another R1 reckoning in KO of Sergei Pavlovich.

Apr 20, 2017 · If Tom wins, it does not do anything for him - he will still be the interim champ and the nr. 1 contender. He gains nothing career wise. If Tom loses, he will lose interim title, nr.1 contender status, and the chance to fight for the belt. So ya....It is not a "lose-lose", more like a "gain nothing - lose a lot" situation.

Dec 9, 2023 · Jon has already strongly implied he won't fight Tom, that he's going to angle for the Poatan fight and he is happy to just walk away if the UFC won't give him what he wants. UFC might offer him 7, 8, even 10 million to fight Tom. Jon demanded $30 mil to fight Ngannou and I think he's probably asking for a similar amount now.
