I've been watching MMA since the days of Ian Freeman, it can't be overstated how great it is for UK MMA fans to have a heavyweight fighter that seems to have all the tools.
@DarrenReddix I said "Seems to have all the tools" but congratulations for reading Wikipedia, you really debunked my idea that the UK might have someone with all the tools.
@DarrenReddix It's fine mate, maybe just read what people are saying 😂 there are very few MMA fighters who have never lost, especially in their early fights.
As a jones fan i agree at this point. Before this last incident, i just didnt because of injury and we've had champs sit for injury before, and the stipe fight was booked before, aspinall got his belt, but with him getting in trouble again just strip him at this point if he can't fight
For real. How long has it been since we felt like we had a legit HW champ? The division's been in limbo for years now... our HW champ hasn't taken 1 HW punch and was won off a guy who is NOT champ material. Lol and now JJ wants the Stipe fight based on legacy? The F is really goin on?
Tom was dealing with a recent back injury coming into this fight as well. Tom vs Alex for the HW Belt would be EPIC! Jones is too busy fighting the law and running from ALL REAL THREATS!
I was super impressed by that win for Tom. He surprised me, to be honest I thought Sergei would win. Tom has amazing skills and talent imo. He's special. I hope he can get the Jones fight next. If Tom beats Curtis, it would be total bs if Alex skipped him in line imo. I'm a big Poatan fan, but Tom has been trying for that fight for forever, I feel he should get it if Jon fights again after Stipe. Imo. ..Assuming Francis is off the table. The only person I would be okay w getting the Jones fight before Tom would be Francis, bc he was actually in line even before Tom lol! Francis v Jon has been my dream fight, still is and will be.. But when I think about it, I think Francis is the scarier fight for Jon, but Aspinall might be the worse matchup for Jon I think. I could be wrong tho, just imo. I feel like there is a more clear path to victory for Jon against Francis than Tom, and Tom maybe bit faster and more well-rounded. But there is maybe higher chance of getting blasted into orbit by Francis so idk lol
Toms angle cutting for a heavyweight is fookin insane. How he landed the leg kick, switched angles straight away again then blasted forwards with the two shots. All from his lateral movement. Guys a problem
Just got into it with someone saying “oh these fans are so disloyal how dare they call for a future HoF’er to be stripped.” Guess we’ll just let him hold onto it uncontested for as long as he sees fit then! 😂 and don’t get me wrong I consider Jon the GOAT. But what he’s doing right now is nothing short of ridiculous and even a lil pathetic
@@korlu01 yeah i agree with u totally. Jon is one of the goats. But what he doing now is pathetic, someone said ( cant remember who ) but something like with the age difference and all that. Did they forget jones fought cormier when cormier was in his 40’s😂
@@HiBye-es5et 100%! Plus DC had very little MMA experience at that time compared to Jon now. I wouldn’t even knock Jon in any way if he chose to vacate as to not fight Tom. Age definitely plays a factor but Jon just turned 37. Over the hill but still an appropriate fighting age. And if you don’t want to fight the best then you can’t hold onto a belt that is only meant for the best. Won it via submission against quite literally the worst wrestler in the UFC. Seems like he just wants to coast out to retirement easily and on top but if that’s the case then he shouldn’t be holding the belt.
@@korlu01 exactly mate. Ur taking the words out of my mouth hahah but better 😂 why did they strip ferguson before the mcgregor - khabib fight cause of injury, but ‘poke ur eyes out’ jones can just retire probably and keep the title😂
Tom landing those KO punches after setting it up with the slip and roll its just PURE POETRY. If that was me I'd be watching that replay every second of the day 😂😂
Jon knows he’s in for a bad bad day against Tom unless he can kick his knee backwards or poke his eyes out. Alex stepping up in weight doesn’t do any better. Tom is the real heavyweight champion.
Honestly I think Jon might win, but it would potentially be a Jones Gustavson 1 war type fight; and I don't think he wants any part of that this late in his career.
@@geffern Jon’s never faced anyone as fast as Tom he moves like a lightweight. I was at his only pro boxing fight back in 2017 in wythenshawe and I was shocked how fast he moves for a man his size.
@howey935 wdym?😂 You aspinall fans are hilarious. Yeah He's fast... but only for a heavyweight. Jon has faced objectively faster and better strikers already throughout his career lmfao. Belfort, rampage Jackson, Gustafson, Santos, machida, mauricio rua, Rashad Evans all faster fighters. Stop glazing 🤣
Lmao you people are so brain dead😂 You muppets LITERALLY said the same exact thing word for word about Gane😂 Jones has fought lots of fighters way faster than Tom, and strong too. Just look what he did to DC, and Gane, and pretty much everyone else he's fought through his career. Aspinal is not on Jones level. Prime for prime, Jones eats Tom for breakfast. @@howey935
He's probably mine right now too. Plus he's a great ambassador for the sport, does positive stuff outside fighting, down to earth dude... And of course one of the best HWs to ever do it imo
@RevolutionRepublic1907 he said "one of", with the potential to prove himself as the absolute best. I can see how you missed that, seeing as though you were having a seizure while you were writing all your questions
@@reptilez13 I agree with everything up to "Best hw to ever do it" - he is not deserving of that quite yet, but if he stays on this trajectory then for sure. Keep in mind the HW division has a history of absolute savages...Stipe, DC, Fedor, Cain Velasquez, Junior dos Santos Randy Couture, Brock Lesnar, Frank Mir, Alistair Overeem...just to name a few. He's a good dude, very talented - but realistically he has a long way to go to be put in the same list as those people.
Thought the excact same thing for a heavyweight thats so impressive. To think he started off with jui jitsu is mental but to be fair hes been doing strikinh most his life too and had boxing fights under the furys
You know how some videos have serious timestamps? You need to drop satirical timestamps on every video and put some effort in. Maybe DJ will pin your comments after enough work on the satirical timestamps
@@waqqodonkey yeah he comes off as a very smart guy. Quick witted and speaks fast and is very knowledgeable. And great at the gay suggestive remarks - that never gets old in my opinion 😆
Good break down DJ! I didnt notice that "moon arche" technique the first time watching it. And im a former college wrestler and mma fighter (under Joe "Daddy" Stevenson). Dude, your good at this. I enjoy your videos.
Yo mighty! You’re the best fight commentary on TH-cam man. Only recently got into watching mma. Ur an absolute legends mate but what’s even more fun, is hearing you break these fights down so us simple folk can understand it. Also dude you’re hilarious, “he shaved his arm pits, good for him” haha. Cheers mate. Definitely got my sub
Toms one of my fav fighters atm, but also its funny you mention his ink. Ive said he managed to avoid the bad back tattoo which is good lol. Hes got great ink, and usually back pieces for fighters (or anyone really lol) can end up tacky or just bad lol
Just want to point out 2 things about Aspinall. 1. Near the end when MM talked about Tom's moon arc and pointed it out, the moment he hit play Tom had changed it up and moved to the left. 2. Watching 309, Tom says that Jon should use his kicks, literally a second later Jon lands that devastating kick. Tom has an insane fight IQ
Love your podcasts. There's nothing like getting expert analysis from one of the greatest fighters ever. Thank you so much for helping us understand the fight game much, much better. Also, you're funny as hell. Keep up the good work, champ!
you should offer a training service for elite fighters that want additional training advice derived from watching video..this would be a killer business
Dj is a true genius. Tom has said that he didn't fight that long that jon can know more about him but he should watch this video. And Jones also. You are such a genius hatts off❤
New to the channel. Great work bruv. I think the world is going to get bored with the heavyweight division for a while now! 😉Tom's a class act across the board. And i think your witnessing a guy, where everyone has got to raise their game. Exciting times. Cool breakdown and analysing of the fight. Like Arnie used to say. I'll be back. Bless from England!
You might not look at tom for advice on how to move as a heavyweight, tom is great but he does a lot of things that only work because he's so fast. He's a great guy to look at but just don't try to do a 1 to 1
I find it very weird how before Tom goes for a calf kick you can literally see him bend his head down, look at you leg then he takes a second and kicks.
I think Tom read the hook as well. He'd thrown that jab a few times and Sergei had countered with the left hook each time. Suspect the big straight punch was in anticipation
Yeah but a 270lbs one who moves like a welterweight, that's why he's OP. Here's hoping the Curtis Blaydes patch can nerf him somewhat, otherwise the Heavyweight class is going to be a very unbalanced, Tom Aspinall focused meta for a good few years before the Father Time patch comes in an inevitably nerfs him.
Tom currently tops all time statleaders in ufc record book. Four 1st positions with 1st shortest av fight time, 1st best striking diff at 4.95, 1st least bottom position time 1 sec, 1st least bottom position %, 3rd most avg strikes p min, 3rd most knockdowns p 15 mins. He wd be 2nd all time strike accuracy at 67% after overeem if he met 350 strike threshold and 1st for takedown defence and 1st for takedown accuracy both at 100% if met 20 threshold. Gsp, miller and Oliveira are joint 2nd with three firsts each.
I’m sorry, but I think anyone orthodox with a strong counter game, who can sit down on Aspinall and wait on the chance to let that right counter go, it’s goodnight for him. He throws that head forward just as he starts to go back and as DJ points out, he outs himself in a weird position just as he starts to fade back. Easier said than done of course, but for someone so fast with their hands, his feet still give him trouble with that backwards movement. Edit: someone tell me if I’m missing something fr. I’m definitely no expert and come from a boxing background so I still miss a ton of things.
8:35 How likely is it that Aspinal noticed that Sergei's cross hook was going to make it to Toms face first and actually managed to react fast enough and go from a wide overhand with his left hand to a into a lead hook so the forearm could redirect the punch coming at him. Because it looks like that's what happened there.
What's insane about Tom is that he isn't even using his full speed most of the time. He actually slows down a little bit to make his opponent think they can catch him. Then he darts in and gets an instant KO.
Jones should do it for the UFC he can give Tom his props on the way out the door as the only man to beat him. he would get more respect for his precious legacy doing that.
I love this breakdown, but I also love the fact that Jon already knows this lol. He's a film freak, and 100% knows everything to know about Tom. I think he beats Stipe, and goes after Tom afterwards. I'm a fan of both guys, more so Jon bc of his tenure so I may be biased hoping he wins but I know it's gonna be one hell of a fight so I'm hoping it happens!
If I was Tom I would have say Jones is scared because he knows he’d lose, he’s not a true heavyweight, and ask Francis to meet to see who’s the true baddest man on the planet. Straight up. I know it can’t happen but fr that’s the fight.
If Tom fights Pierra or Jones he needs to be really careful about pulling back & leaning his head up and rolling his left shoulder anticipating a right hook. A left high kick could be would possibly incoming
Jones doesn’t want to actually fight, he’s afraid to fight someone like Tom. He’s a dirty fighter that wants to pretend he’s the “goat” when he isn’t he’s good but he needs to fight someone like Tom for me to put him in Goat status.
Completely agree with you, your breakdowns are the best man! It should definitely be Aspinall vs JJ for the title, JJ looking for the easyway out! Aspinall would and will smoke him in 1.
UFC always prided itself on best vs best. They let their best heavyweight leave, gifted the belt to Jones because of his amazing LHW record, and are now protecting him so he can be their "GOAT" Stipe hasn't won in years, Jones has barely fought at HW. Aspinal has made the division look easy and is the real champ. Just strip Jones, the the Stipe fight is still a legends retirement match that folks will still be interested in. Keeping an asterisk next to Aspinal and Jones talking him down just diminishes the future of the division
I agree Aspinall is next but I think it's unfair do be so dismissive of Stipe's argument for a shot, everything you said is true but it leaves out the added context of his last fight being a title defence, him being the record defence holder and having a stellar resume at heavyweight. His last 10 or so fights have all been at an elite level.
Jon Jones knew Aspinall was measuring his reach with that hug because Jones does the same thing with his wife.
Savage 😂
@Exod25 It’s never a low blow. The low blow is the one he delivered to his wife

That was a glancing shot to Sergei too holy shit
It's gonna be real funny when Johns is the highlight of all the new videos titled "should of retired earlier"
At 10:00 he doesn’t have to come back forward? Weight on back leg, bend that knee to drop down and change level, then push forward into a takedown
What's insane about Tom is that he isn't even using his full speed most of the time. He actually slows down a little bit to make his opponent think they can catch him. Then he darts in and gets an instant KO.
I love the void lol, aspinal is good at bouncing on his toes and bouncing in and out on the edge of the void
Demetrious Johnson is the best pound for pound fighter in MMA and the most knowledgeable.
Jon isn’t that old! He needs to freaking fight!
He is because you age alot quicker after taking so many PED's.
Jones should do it for the UFC he can give Tom his props on the way out the door as the only man to beat him. he would get more respect for his precious legacy doing that.
1:53 Jon does refuse dana refuses to let tom fight jon before stipe
I love this breakdown, but I also love the fact that Jon already knows this lol. He's a film freak, and 100% knows everything to know about Tom. I think he beats Stipe, and goes after Tom afterwards. I'm a fan of both guys, more so Jon bc of his tenure so I may be biased hoping he wins but I know it's gonna be one hell of a fight so I'm hoping it happens!
I just google Mighty Mouse breakdowns, ur striking knowledge is nuts
If I was Tom I would have say Jones is scared because he knows he’d lose, he’s not a true heavyweight, and ask Francis to meet to see who’s the true baddest man on the planet. Straight up. I know it can’t happen but fr that’s the fight.
Respect
Volkov fight woulda been quite good to breakdown more there
UFC holding that heavyweight belt hostage for Jon is crazy
Mighty mouse knows the game. Well said 👊👍
Tom Aspinall will be the first fighter to defend an interim belt.
If Tom fights Pierra or Jones he needs to be really careful about pulling back & leaning his head up and rolling his left shoulder anticipating a right hook. A left high kick could be would possibly incoming
Jones doesn’t want to actually fight, he’s afraid to fight someone like Tom. He’s a dirty fighter that wants to pretend he’s the “goat” when he isn’t he’s good but he needs to fight someone like Tom for me to put him in Goat status.
“ I ain’t having that dog “😂
Completely agree with you, your breakdowns are the best man!
It should definitely be Aspinall vs JJ for the title, JJ looking for the easyway out! Aspinall would and will smoke him in 1.
Who do you think will win blades or aspinal?
Ofc aspinall won 😂🎉
Yes, Make a Super Fight Belt for fights like this! Drop a Million on it and make it incredibly special.
Literally just make a ''GOAT'' belt or some stupid shit and let the real men fight for the real belt.
UFC always prided itself on best vs best. They let their best heavyweight leave, gifted the belt to Jones because of his amazing LHW record, and are now protecting him so he can be their "GOAT" Stipe hasn't won in years, Jones has barely fought at HW. Aspinal has made the division look easy and is the real champ. Just strip Jones, the the Stipe fight is still a legends retirement match that folks will still be interested in. Keeping an asterisk next to Aspinal and Jones talking him down just diminishes the future of the division
Oh mighty I live in the same state you do you know we can’t use prize picks
I agree Aspinall is next but I think it's unfair do be so dismissive of Stipe's argument for a shot, everything you said is true but it leaves out the added context of his last fight being a title defence, him being the record defence holder and having a stellar resume at heavyweight. His last 10 or so fights have all been at an elite level.
