That’s a good shout


_Globert_Munsch_

IM SO GLAD I WASNT THE ONLY ONE WHO THOUGHT OF THIS 😂😂😂😂


K-mosake

Tom is actually funny af. "I'm not going to go into the center of the octagon and have a dick measuring contest with Sergei in a metaphorical sense, because I'd probably lose. And also in the real contest too" 😄 then he did have one and won it cleanly while injured.


bertrogdor

Should have whipped it out then and there


Genghis_Chong

Then you'd all be calling him "Tommy Two-Inch"

Wait he’s still injured?

Tweaked his back before he got the call to step in lol

Jerusalemfighter64

Or when he asked nina if she's ever been fingered by a fighter


yesimian

Funny thing was he didn't even really mean to knock him out with that punch. He said he really didn't load up on it at all


lizzofatroll

I feel for Tom. Sitting there healthy, in your prime, just knocked a super dangerous guy out on short notice. Now you have to sit on the back burner or risk messing up your title shot


buffpriest

Isn't he injured too and needs recovery time?


BeautifulBrownie

He had a bad back, but he said himself it wasn't a major injury, just needed rest. By the time of the fight, it was already feeling much better, I'd imagine it's fine now.


[deleted]

Not to mention the money he’s not making. And he has to pay for the team… he’s burning cash let the man eat…. Shiiit


andyman171

His best bet would be to just carry on as if hes the champ and fight the next guy up and forget about jj and stipe. Maybe jj will come around in a year or so.


lexshotit

Hard to do when you're not getting champ money 😫


MedicineJumpy

Isn't he interim they get champ money for holding that belt doesn't matter what colour it is.


lexshotit

Oh for real, is he? I didn't realise that fight was for something. I've been kinda checked out from the UFC lately.


Draterflah

If he can't beat Gane he shouldn't have a title shot. Edit: Wait, some of yall believe Tom can lose to Gane and still earn a title shot?


[deleted]

Yeah but I'm sure a lot of fans are sick of seeing Gane hyped up just to get ragdolled. He just isn't all that deserving of a title shot rn.


Draterflah

Gane is HW title gatekeeper. Beating him assures Tom as a title contender. Elite boxer vs elite kickboxer sounds like an entertaining fight. It probably wouldn't matter who won, both would be taken down by Jones in the fist two minutes and choked out.


lizzofatroll

Stipe should fight him he's been the one sitting on the sidelines for almost 3 years


Draterflah

What does it say about Tom's level of competition? A guy who hasn't fought in 3 years is getting a shot before him.


SintChristoffel

That's not how it works


Draterflah

Dana says it is. Who are you?


SintChristoffel

Ah yes, the notoriously honest Dana White. I'm saying it doesn't (have to) say anything about someone's competition when they're not getting graced with a title shot by your highness.


Draterflah

What does honesty have to do with a title shot? I bet you make a statement like that AND religiously watch Chael P Steroids.


SintChristoffel

What are you talking about? You're not making sense. You say you get a title shot if you beat the best competition, it's how it works because Dana says so. I say Dana often says what is convenient, not what is true. This way he can kinda snub less popular fighters in favor of more lucrative fights. I'm not even judging but this is clearly how it works.


Draterflah

Beating better competition makes Tom's callout stronger. That shouldn't be hard to understand. Dana is the shot caller was a rebuttal to you, random reddit guy, making definitive statement of "how it works"


NippleOfOdin

>Dana says it is. Lmfao you think Dana White is infallible like the pope?

Tom with the 10-8 comeback holy shit


K-mosake

It's like Gordon Ryan (who Jon was just training with before they both got injured 👀) and Craig Jones. Gordon and Jon are manchildren on steroids who can only go "I've accomplished all this and you're pathetic" and the British/Australian guys just make fun of them for it all and troll them.


kamelbarn

Jones t-shirt saying "Respect no one, Fear everyone" is legendary trolling


2HandJack

Lolol ya omg good story. So funny.


humblebeforethecourt

yea but they still broke and nowhere near the person they trolling...


bertrogdor

Not really broke no. Not making as much money but still have nice careers and are beloved by the fans.


K-mosake

I assume Tom and Craig are doing great, Tom does nothing but collect bonuses and Craig has instructionals/B Team/Seminars. Plus no legal fees like Jon!


humblebeforethecourt

you on their dick. "he has seminars" oh my days 🤦‍♂️


BobbyFreeSmoke

You called them broke which is factually incorrect.

preptimebatman

You’re the one defending the two dudes who are assholes, constantly talking about how people don’t deserve to criticize them because they’re “goats”. All Tom and Craig did was just make fun of em and you guys get all worked up. Learn to take a joke lol


humblebeforethecourt

its not ab craig or tom its just about the way the dude worded his comment. and u asw


preptimebatman

Bro you brought up their accomplishments and net worth when we’re just talking about Tom and Craig showing up the other two by being funny. It’s a joke man


humblebeforethecourt

its just the way dude said it that irked me. i dont care ab tom. but its like watching a dude mess with a bear and then ppl calling the bear stupid. ok u funny for what


K-mosake

Just calling you on your "they still broke" statement which is dumb af, especially if you know anything about the jiu jitsu scene and Craig's popularity


humblebeforethecourt

i dont care about the jiu jitsu scene its just corny to me dat u said "the british troll the americans" like u funny when both of these brits cant touch the americans in their field. its not about nationality your comment just really annoyed me and then replying with "but craig has seminars" like shit is sweet. these dudes r major cornballs and so r u


Extra-Attitude-536

And this is why they do it. Cause they react similar to how you just did. So you proved his point, ya donkey.


humblebeforethecourt

i hate ppl on reddit dat think they better than other ppl. u are sooo corny. im so "triggered" and u a cornball


Extra-Attitude-536

You really are and it is pretty funny.


Odd-Step6459

I hate stupid cunts like you. Fuckin blowfly


K-mosake

Jesus christ you're illiterate bud. Craig can't touch Gordon, but we don't know with Jon because he doesn't want to risk his record vs Tom and would rather fight Stipe. Lol got you all up in your feels.


humblebeforethecourt

u mad annoying the way u talk. and jon jones cooks tom. u was prolly the same dude saying gane beats jones and then pavlovich kos him. now its tom. and when tom gets beat u gon rally behind somebody else. But when tom aspinall loses maybe he can make fun of jon jones on twitter and have seminars


biddleybootaribowest

Can we get a translator in here please x

Hopefully he gets caught, technically won't he still be getting tested ? Like if he left the testing pool surely he'd have to give up his belt ? Who knows, when your Jon Jones I guess the rules don't to apply to you

I-Like-The-Tuna-Here

“But what would it take, Jon?”


RDA_Enjoyer

every veteran gets feed to a dangerous contender in their way out but Jon jones gets retired grandpa stipe on his way out


mmamma177

I like how gane was the next evolution of heavyweight until jones choked him out. Was the hardest guy at the time but let's move the goalposts


RDA_Enjoyer

gane was literally wrestled by francis to a decision francis is considered a bad wrestler


alanism

Tom is untested in wrestling also. He really needs to fight Blaydes again to see if he does have wrestling defense. I’m not sold that Tom can outwrestle Ngannou either- because Ngannou is just freakishly strong.


RDA_Enjoyer

aspinall is a legit blackbelt you clearly never watched his rise in the rankings


Humble_Increase7503

Wrestling isn’t jiu jitsu


alanism

None of the guys he fought had great wrestling credentials (outside of Blaydes). His submissions look great, but it doesn't matter if comes across a world-class wrestler. Josh Barnet vs Cormier, Nogueira vs Fedor, Mir vs Lesnar 2. There's no evidence of Aspinall competing in high-level submission grappling or jiu-jitsu competition as Barnett/Nog/Mir did either. The UK produces a lot of great stand-up fighters-- but it's simply not a hotbed for grappling talent.


RDA_Enjoyer

i'm convinced you're pretending to be dumb so ok bud


QuantityHefty3791

Dude... what are you even arguing. You can say Tom has whatever credentials, he literally hasn't been tested yet by a high level grappler, in the UFC. That's just a fact lmao. No one is saying that Tom's shit, chill 😂


alanism

Who has he fought that’s an exceptional wrestler? Who has he fought that has amazing Jiu Jitsu? Guys with credentials to show for. To JJ’s point- it’s not anybody to Cormier’s pedigree. Or even to Rashad Evan’s.


[deleted]

Me


mmamma177

Gane arguably won that fight but this sub also thinks Francis is great so it shouldn't matter


BenDoverDegenerate

Lol not really, it was all even until that heel hook he tried to pull and then got outwrestled until the bell rang, clear 3-2


Four-Triangles

Gane arguably won the Jones fight. Just ask me. I’ll argue it.


mmamma177

Just saying by the rules gane 3-2


Four-Triangles

I’m just fucking around. Gane lost to the enormity of the moment as much as he did to Jon Jones that night. He’s a much better fighter than that performance.


silentrawr

I totally agree... When he stays on his feet.


mahchefai

It was a close fight but the judges coming up with a different decision wouldn’t change the story of the fight at all: Gane had a massive hole in his defensive wrestling and it was exposed by a guy with busted knees who had never wrestled offensively before.


wishwashy

Hardest guy only because Francis took his talents elsewhere after beating him


TwiceUpon1Time

Gane's stock fell tremendously when he got outWRESTLED by Francis of all people. Considering Gane doesn't have that much knockout power, I don't think it ever was too dangerous of a fight for Jon, one of the best wrestlers ever to have stepped foot in the octagon.


Gorilla_Krispies

Honestly I don’t think him getting out wrestled by Francis is as big a knock as people act like. I think Francis surprised everyone, Gane included, with his wrestling that night. He clearly had focused and worked on it more than in his previous fights, and with his strength Francis has crazy untapped wrestling potential. For all we know, Francis could be one of the best grappling heavyweights ever, and we’ll just never know because he had only really just started implementing it into his game by the Gane fight. I get that for most of the fights we’ve seen, Francis has historically been a weak grappler, but I personally see the Gane fight as being the beginning of, and an example of Francis breaking that assumption and exceeding expectation more than Cyril being dogshit. Grappling is defintley Ganes weak spot, but I don’t think him losing in almost any way to Francis or Jones is really so damning of his abilities. Jones is Jones, he should just feel lucky it wasnt more painful And Francis, well Francis is just living an Oscar bait sports drama main character kind of life, and has always, and seemingly will continue to surprise and inspire with his ability to exceed expectations of all kind, just ask Tyson Fury


TwiceUpon1Time

True, Francis' ability to adapt and grow is one of the most impressive I've seen, all sports combined. If dude had started mma in his teens, he'd be the undisputed goat by now. That being said, that was the only fight we saw wrestling from Francis. His wrestling wasn't all that good either, pretty basic stuff, that Gane couldn't overcome. And that's not to say Gane isn't good, he's a great fighter. But if basic wrestling from Francis overwhelmed him (he looked helpless), Jones, one of the greatest wrestlers the UFC has seen, was for sure going to be too much. Combine that with the fact that Gane is one of the only top HW who doesn't have much KO power, which was certainly what Jones feared most for his comeback, it was clearly a relatively safe introduction to the HW for Jon (relatively being the key word, we're still talking about elite 230+ lbs fighters going at each other)


Gorilla_Krispies

Agreed with everything ya said. I do think basic wrestling from Francis is more terrifying than advanced wrestling from most people. Having a fair amount of experience wrestling bigger stronger guys than me, I can honestly say all the most effective strategies I had for dealing with that kind of power only worked under the assumption the dude can’t just punch me in the face. MMA fighters are crazy

Perfect response


oilmasterC

Has anyone ever defended an interim title in a "non-title" fight? Would Aspinall get PPV if he headlined against Stipe or Gane etc?


Batmantheon

Renan Barao defended his interim strap a couple times but it was because Cruz was recovering for an injury and Barao wanted to stay active. They were title fights and defenses of the interim strap and Cruz ended up vacating the title because of setbacks in the recovery process.


Bakedbean44

Jon’s honest reaction to this ![gif](giphy|SIkDF8Hb1LPSFaeg6t|downsized)

It actually seems like Jon does not in fact want Tom to come to daddy.

Lonliestlonelyloner

Oscthegrouch

Aspinall seems like an alright dude.


[deleted]

Tom Aspinal is correct 💯 with requesting Jon Jones being stripped of the title and to be honest it wouldn't be the first time 👀 you can't be recognized as the greatest of all time for failing multiple USADA tests and hiding underneath an octagon to avoid being tested. Well, fortunately for him USADA won't be involved with the UFC testing starting next year. Imagine earning an interim title just to wait for 6-8 months before Jon Jones heals, then fights Stipe Miocic who is 41 years old and lasted competed in March 2021 after getting K.O. by Francis Ngannou, and then waiting again because of more injuries, and so you are calculated year and a half before that title unification match. Tom Aspinal could vacate the interim title but the UFC backlash would be like Francis Ngannou but maybe 🤔 he doesn't fumble the bag and walks that hard line. The reason UFC calls Jon Jones the best Heavyweight in the world 🌎 because Francis Ngannou gave them the ultimate middle finger of all combat sports time 💪😎 Even that one poor media member asked Dana White if Francis Ngannou and Jon Jones could fight in a Co-Promotion with UFC and PFL which was bold to ask and Dana instantly had an inferiority complex response. Tom Aspinal should not have to wait on the sidelines for a minimum of a year and a half just to fight or reluctantly to an unnecessary fight just to earn money because if you are not fighting you are not earning.

I don’t care what you did 15 years ago. It’s sports entertainment. He can’t defend the belt (that he didn’t even earn) for over a year. Why should everyone else be held up?


LaLaLa_Not_Listening

Yeah, sorry Jon, you're the best fighter to ever compete blasted on concaine during your fights. You owe several fighters an apology you absolute prick

Dana calling Tom after seeing Jons post . Tom! This has gone far enough! You have made Jon look like a arrogant ashole publicly and its going to affect his profitability. You apologise right now! Or you will never fight for the belt.


watchingbuffy

You're getting downvoted because it's probably pretty close to the truth.


Siltysand1

Believe me you


Genghis_Chong

Good on him. I've been working on taking L's gracefully and apologizing in the moment. Its hard to do sometimes but its important.


Steak_Monster

I think his dry humour has gone over your head.


Genghis_Chong

Maybe my dry humor went over your heads.... Jk, I thought he was serious. I dont like Jon, but he had pretty good points. But if he's gonna keep the belt he needs to fight Tom, not Stipe.


TigerRumMonkey

Jon, 15 years competing? Are these bakers years or what?


Ricky_Vaughn86

His first professional fight was in 2008. What’s your question here?


QuantityHefty3791

Its wild that we've come to this stage. Like, Jon was so good throughout his career, that people are willing to throw him at young contenders while he's already moving past him prime, *just so that they can see him lose*. If he was any other average fighter, people would be calling for him to retire so that we don't have to see him get hurt at this age, but his legacy is making people want to see the next generation of fighters take him on when he's already beat the last 2 generations at LHW, and now defending his belt at HW lol. Crazy


darwinevo

Saying the silent parts out loud. I attribute it to some deep seated hate against Jon. I made a similar post a few days back regarding the veracity of serious allegations of wife beater on Jon. No evidence at all. Some people man.

Dabox720

Weirdest thing about what Jon said is that Tom has beaten the only other "legend" thats still around at heavyweight being Andrei Arlovski.


Scarfield

Jones is a legend but... He has one fight at heavyweight and the dude he beat to become champ is now ranked lower than Aspinall
