The irony of jones messing up his legacy by not fighting Tom in an attempt to protect his legacy is gold
JJ legacy is ruined regardless
@@ufarkingiceholehe did it to himself
Jon Jones' legacy should go the way of Lance Armstrong's. How can you be the GOAT if you've been proven to be a cheater?
Even Chael Sonnen, who admits to using roids, said that Jon Jones clearly uses roids.
@AmericaFirstForever exactly. JJ is an insanely talented POS who will not fight without roids and refuses to fight fighters like Francis and Stipe. That's not a goat. It's a tragedy

Dude everyone in the UFC uses steroids

One of my favorite fighters to come into the UFC in a long time, Aspinall is pure class gotta love his attitude. Generally he just seems like a great laid back bloke.
He asked a reporter if he can finger her.
He’s good but not a goat in any sense of the world.
Pure class😂 like asking the reporter if she's ever been fingered😂
I love his fighting ability, but he's in the UFC. The showbiz is very different from fighting promotion, he's not going to last long the way he's acting.
@@itooflemmaHe can easily become the heavyweight goat.
I don’t get how Dana will let Jon ruin his legacy by being complicit in letting him dodge this fight with Tom.
Because there will always be new contenders coming. If he beats Tom another contender will come up. So while it may seem like him beating stipe it's not that great of an accomplishment. That accomplishment will matter to him because in his prime stipe was the heavyweight goat
How is he ducking Tom if he's injured and he was gonna fight Stipe before Aspinall even fought Pavlovich
@@Sleeepy23 Jon either fights stipe whilst vacating the title or fights the interim champ as soon as possible after recovering. Fighting the interim champ should by default always be the next fight. Jon is clearly avoiding this because he’s less confident about winning against Tom compared to winning against stipe. He’s clearly dodging this fight. This is also assuming jones won’t retire after a fight with stipe.
There is a possibility that jones will finish his career after fighting stipe and he will never give Tom the chance to fight him. It looks like jones is doing a fair bit of work to avoid a fight that should be the number one priority.
Because he wants to be oiled up
Jon ruined his own legacy by failing drug tests
Dana tells fighters DONT WAIT. BUT TELLS ASPINALL WAIT.
Jones is probably telling the UFC he will only fight Stipe or he will retire. Aspinall will stop Jon Jones if they do fight.
@@FightSportTalkthey should just strip the title and let Jones fight Stipe as a retirement fight.
Dana had to take Jon's balls out of his mouth just long enough to tell Tom to stay back
@@FightSportTalk Who has ever stopped Jon Jones? You're talking complete nonsense and you know it.
@@SunBearDabs They won't strip him get over it and stop crying.
Dana and Jon are hurting not only toms career but also every other ranked hw and a legendary moment for the fans because Tom would probably take jons 0
no one’s stopping tom from fighting someone else while waiting for the jon stipe fight that’s on him not dana and jon let’s be real
@@Jrevo77yeah but he deserves the jon fight
@@notyerbuddyguy5376 the stipe jon fight was scheduled before tom was even interim champion though
@@Jrevo77said NO ONE EVER.
If every other div. Injury results forced abdication. HW DIV. IS NOT A MONOPOLY. JON TORE HIS MUSCLE FROM THE BONE. 8 MONTHS MY ASS
Jones legacy consists of eye pokes and steroids. The heavy weight division needs a champ that fights more than once a year. It's a joke.
don't forget the oblique kicks, coke and DUI
Jon Jones is a proper fighter, Khabib's fathet even said.
Also Tom is on PEDS, they all are.
AMEN.
@@beefkd oblique kicks are legal
Jones isn't GOAT in terms of legacy, least of all the honorable character that requires to be called GOAT. That reward goes to Demetrius Johnson or George St. Pierre, not to mention that DJ is also still an active champion, unlike Jones
The thing I like most about Tom is that I can see stardom will never go to his head. He's a very grounded and humble human being and while that may not attract the fans like Macgregor, it sure does make him a much more likable person.
Tom will be greater known on the future if he continues along his path. He is building a real legacy.
I bet my friend ten bucks that both Stipe and Jon are both going to retire right after their fight. Which will leave Tom as champion, but frustrated that instead of the normal generational turnover of champions, we get this ridiculous situation.
how’s it ridiculous? fighters can choose to retire you people want fighters to fall on there sword instead of getting out the game when they choose to
@@Jrevo77 I just think it's a little disingenuous that Jon wants to fight Stipe instead of the interim champion. What's the point of having an interim champion if not to get that first shot at the returning champ?
@@hoi-polloi1863 cause the fight was scheduled before tom was even the interim champion 2 legends want to fight each other tom can wait in line or if he wants to fight so bad fight someone else
@@hoi-polloi1863he knows he'll lose
@@Jrevo77so then why even have an interim title held at that point since the entire goal of the interim is to definitively push them to unify and clear up the discussion on who deserves what shot.
How he went through Sergei is one of the most impressive things I've ever seen in the sport.
Great vid to btw.
sergei is a certified killer, stone cold
I haven’t cared about Jones in over a decade. GSP is the real GOAT.
Well, was. I agree tho, he seems SO strong and all the other abilities. Maybe he uses alot of "rubberbands"?
Well well well

Mighty mouse has the greatest resume imo
Yeah Tom should fight GSP

Pavlovich is the Russian Fedor, great words of wisdom from the spanner that is Rogan
Yeah like wtf
Excellent use of "spanner" btw
I like that you give props to older fighters like Fedor despite the fact that you are very young. Clearly you do your research. I recommend you to review Pride era of mma, that will give you a unique angle to catch mma guru and Tracy. Make it your selling point, people don't expect a young fan to know the old legends deeply, so you'll stand out 💯💪
Thank you Robert! Honestly its a tricky one for me since as much as i appreciate the PRIDE era my knowledge isn't as extensive - i want to ensure i'm speaking on stuff i know to create my best work.
@@LeoCooperMMA Don't worry, even I wasn't born then. All you have to do is watch Pride documentaries, I promise you won't be dissapointed, those fighters were more entertaining. You don't have to go deep, just talk about the pride stars like Rampage, Shogun Rua, Fedor, Crocop etc . I promise you it will get you views 😅😪
Jon Jones (and the UFC) is avoiding the number one contender and literal interim champ in Tom Aspinall, for essentially an exhibition match with an old Stipe to solidfy "goat status". GFY. Vacant or fight Aspinall.
Jon Jones was already supposed to fight Stipe before Tom Aspinall became #1 contender
@@Sleeepy23 Jones' recent injury aside, the proposed fight didn't seem logical from the start.
Stipe Miocic, regarded as the heavyweight GOAT, hasn't been as active recently, with his last fight against Ngannou in 2021 and one in 2020. Despite his status, it’s visually clear he's past his prime and shouldn’t be in title contention.
The UFC is clearly feeding Miocic to Jones to potentially diminish the standing of the true undisputed heavyweight champion, Francis Ngannou.
I agree that Ngannou really feels like the real champion. What really should've happened was Jones vs Ngannou. After that Aspinall would've earned a title shot so it could be Aspinall vs the winner of Jones vs Ngannou. But since Ngannou left, Jones won the belt. Then he had the right to call out Stipe if he wants. That's just how it goes. It's all messed up but it's not Jon Jones fault. It's a combination of different factors.
@@Sleeepy23 Totally get your point. MMA's unpredictable, and it is what it is sometimes. Respect for sharing the MMA love! 👊🤝
@@Sleeepy23It's Jon's fault equally as other champions (Jiri, Hill etc) vacated immediately with honour so as not to selfishly hold their divisions hostage as Jon is doing. He's a narcissist and sociopath though so the thought never even crossed his mind. He's truly the biggest POS in the UFC.
Its pretty crazy how the heavyweight boxing champion of the world, kickboxing champion of the world and MMA champion of the world are all friends. Nobody is really talking about it but i think being mates with tyson fury and rico verhoeven massively helped tom develop his striking to where it is today. Especially the years of boxing under peter fury and sparring with Tyson, you can see it in his style.
11:46, small correction; Stipe was never offered a replacement opponent, the UFC forced him out to save him for Jones.
Great documentary though man, keep up the good work, I'll definitely be checking out more things from you 🙏
Apologies for that, sometimes i do slip up. Thanks for the love though and welcome aboard
Exactly, bc he wouldn't have survived Sergei and the fight wouldn't have sense. It's still doesn't
Great Video !! as a fellow wiganer so great to see him putting wigan on the map and being a BEAST!
Great video brother, very well made
You're an OG man. Thanks for the love
Nicely done Leo mate. Awesome document. Subscribed.
I feel sad for this dude. Jones is on his way out. He's not going to take a risk by fighting a dangerous up and Comer like Tom. Tom just needs to look to fight others in the top ten because Jones is looking to retire after the Stipe fight
😏 That ,like you say is the truth about it. Tom should take it as a big compliment because I remember when Jon put it on Cormier and his actions are the exact opposite to Tom. He was even prepared to fight Pablovich the back up fighter to the Stipe fight. So Jon best hope that his Legacy plan does not anoint Jon a Sheep instead of a Goat for avoiding Tom. Thanks mate, take care and please feel free to reply 🙏
Let's face it Tom is the HW champion at this point, Jones and Miocic is just an attraction fight - both will retire after so what's the point having them fight for the belt?
Apart from the minor detail that Ngannou left the organisation...@HellBlazerMNE07
@HellBlazerMNE07 Well... he would be the champion if he'd stuck around. Instead he wanted to go be a boxer, where I think he'll find a lot of success, but he's not even in UFC anymore.
@HellBlazerMNE07Letting Ngannou walk is part of how dana has screwed tom. He’s gone out of his way to put 2 asterisks next to tom’s title reign and dimish the quality of his title defenses
@HellBlazerMNE07 I mean... at some point Ngannou would be stripped for not defending the title, just like Jon won't be (heh). Ngannou can't be the "missing champ" forever, right? I'd love to see him fight Jones, or Aspinall, or anyone in the UFC but it just ain't gonna happen, and we can't stop having a HW division over it.
@HellBlazerMNE07 Nah, 2 totally different styles. Also fighters develop at diff speeds. This version of tom is as good as any heavyweight in the world.
Tom has the best striking differential in the entire ufc, shortest average fight time in ufc history, and is top 5 in strikes lander per 15.
Crazy how he dealt with some of these guys in such short fashion. - that shows quality. Great video btw
Only person he dealt with faster was himself with that knee lol. Gotta love Tom, Dana needs to put an end to this farce.
I can’t think of a single fighter who reads punches and kicks like this guy. It’s insane.
I firmly believe Aspinall would clear out Jon and the rest of the heavy weight division at this point. I hope he gets the fights he wants.
Aspinall glazing and i am here fore it!
Memes aside was again a banger leo!
Unashamed Crego. He deserves all the praise!
Great video I didn’t know a lot about Tom but now I’m a fan
They will never let Jones, the champion eye poker, to fight Tom, he would lose.
The odd thing is that Jones fans should want Jones to fight Tom. The idea of the champ and the interim champion fighting DIFFERENT people should be something that everyone agrees is ridiculous.
And Stipe is one of my favorite fighters of all time- but how is he getting a championship bout without being active in three years, and coming off a terrible KO?
My theory is jon jones does not want that young guy replacing the old guy beating that tom will bring. Dana does not want to waste his jones money on a guaranteed loss.
Dana is such a brick for thinking everything needs a belt to be interesting. Dana wouldn't be in this spot if he just didn't put the interim belt on the fight. But noooo it had to have a belt to be good as if it wasn't literally the dream HW prospect fight already. Dana needs to go
Dana is a clown.
11:57-12:00 “Russian Fedor” is Joe OK???
Edit: Elite Video Leo once again and can’t wait for next weeks.
Also Wigan being called “The Streets” is not something i thought i’d ever hear in my life
In Pride sometimes Fedor was introduced as Ukrainian, as he was born in the Luhansk Oblast of the Ukrainian SSR, moving to Belgorod in Russia when he was just two years old.
But yeah I think Joe was legitimately messing up his words rather than just dropping a deep cut of MMA lore.
@@ChucksSEADnDEAD oh damn didn’t know that
Also Joe Rogan CTE? 😅
so that he is not confused with the Russian Fedor

to be fair to Rogan, he does record himself for thousands of hours a year..

High praise Matz, thank you.
Honestly aspect ratios confuse the hell outta me too hahaha@@matz4k
I don’t understand how people don’t understand simple logic.
Jon Jones was supposed to fight Stipe before Tom was even signed to fight . They postponed the fight and then Tom signed to fight for an interim knowing that regardless of him or Sergei winning Jones was fighting Stipe next.
Now suddenly Jones is ducking Tom . If you’re being honest and not just a fan of Tom you would be honest.
Had Tom lost would the title of this video be “ Why Jon jones is ducking Sergei Pavlovich”
Mans going to dominate for years🙏🙏🏿❤
Jones should be stripped of his belt
Tom is the real champ.
Said literally Noone. Never heard of Tom a year ago but now he's a more deserving champ than Jon Jones?
@@brandonmoreland4392Yes. JJ is a cheat and a track star.
Jon jones is a freak of nature. Youre all casuals if you think that jones is running from a rookie aspinal. He fought better fighters when he was in his early 20s@RyanG0899

Nothing better than a humble person especially that of a top teir athlete and fighter like Aspinall.
Funny how people can talk about Jones being the GOAT, and ignore the PED riddled elephant in the room.
First of all, them dang tests are not always accurate. as a matter of fact, their garbage. So are the dna tests done by some organisations. "We need a dna sample from the individual and we will be 100 % accurate"
Yeah no shXX idiot, try pinpointing the exact perp without tossing the 12 blood groups together, like really.
Officials exalting themselves into the ceilings of heaven with their ignorance. jon really dosnt look like he does roids or ever has.and theres a difference between drugs and steroids. but i do like to bash him lmao
You mean ignore the PED riddled sport?
You fans cheered for Lesnar to come back with a drug exception.
Mate this videos amazing can’t believe you only have 15k subs . Liked and subbed
Just noticed I’m already subbed 😂
Thank you brother
I love Tom spinall’s humility, his not pretentious his simply just winning as he goes. His not caught up in the ego game
Shame on Ufc for leaving him in limbo!
Jones is absolutely terrified of Tom Aspinall, and I don't blame him. That guy is built like a brick shithouse but moves fast like a middleweight and has ridiculous KO power, great submission skills and 100% TDD. I can't find a way Jones could defeat that creature.
It's extremely important for the brand that Jon retire undefeated, they will never risk it.
It's very good for their image and standing to have yet another world class fighter that retired undefeated, solidified the UFC as having the "best fighters" even more.
But Jones isn't undefeated? Agree with the 12-6 elbow rule or not, (which I don't), it still happened and he took the L
I can only think of khabib that's retired as champion but feel free to correct me
@@kylem2712 Doesn't matter what it says on paper, people will be curious to see only Jon's "loss" and they will see Matt Hamil getting utterly destroyed before he even threw those 12-6 elbows, and they will consider Jon the winner, just like i do, just like literally everyone else does.
If the 12-6 elbows were the cause of Jon getting the win, i would understand it, but man he crushed Matt hamil before that sheit even occurred, he would've won anyway.
@@klefthoofrobert787 I agree about everything regarding the fight, Jones was dominating and definitely would have won. But your point is that it's important to the UFC that Jones stays undefeated. So unless they straight up lie to the fans about his record, it's too late lol
He deserved thst for the loss to @@kylem2712
Great video, you made me more of a fan! well done!
Fight Ciryl Gane
Would be a fun fight for sure!
Gane ducked him. fuck off
JJ does not want to finish his career on a loss, and so will retire after stipe.
Get Tom in there with Jones, Dana and Jones are ruining the legacy and integrity of the sport and contenders.
If Jones shys away he won't be remembered as the best, just one of them in a list
Sweet video dude, love the style
What a wonderful vid presentation👏💪💯 Thanks so much Leo
Dana becoming the guy he always criticised. The ufc is becoming a joke like boxing.

Thats the plan Stew! Thanks for the love
Tom is probably a mistake to the UFC as now everyone would rather see Jones fight Tom instead of Stipe. I also thought the UFC should have made Aspinall vs Sergei after jones vs Miocic so that we have a little stability. And everyone won’t really be asking questions.
Lots of people would rather see Jones vs stipe, over aspinall. There is a contingent of fans who don't care about or like aspinall. You're making the mistake of thinking your opinion is the opinion of everyone....
@@danelynch7171 No you're making the mistake of thinking everyone's as dumb as you. Stipe is 3 years out, coming off a KO loss, and 43 years old. The fight between him and Jon won't be competitive and given the above stats Stipe doesn't deserve it anyway; would have if he went in there and dusted a contender first but he hasn't. Everyone but you just finds the idea of Stipe vs Jon depressing and incoherent and everyone but you wants to see Jon fight a complete skillset heavyweight and not just try to coast to HW GOAT status by beating a kickboxer and a senior citizen who literally limped his way into MSG last fall to watch Aspinall earn the Jones fight over him. Does it hurt to be this dumb or is there actually a kind of blissful serenity that comes with being 100% lacking in self-awareness? Let me know.

Jon jones is just a paper champ at HW . Tom is the actual champ .
@HellBlazerMNE07 Francis isn’t in this promotion you supercilious derp .
We need to apply this “WELL THEY DIDN’T BEAT THE PERSON WHO ISN’T EVEN IN THE PROMOTION/WEIGHT CLASS” logic to every single champ ever just to show how dumb it is lol We’d be dragging people from the grave just to settle shit at this point 🙄 lol Not literally, but you get what I mean.
@@Allegedly_Angel So beating Gane who fought for a belt and lost is indicative of a worthy title win ? Low standards .
I have genuine love in my heart for Tom Aspinall. He’s such a great human being, it’s almost difficult to level that with how lethal of a killer he is. Seeing him get cocked over by Dana pisses me off, all just to protect a criminal degenerate who jams up every division he fights in. Aspinall is the future of heavyweight, regardless of how much Dana wants to cripple his career.
Does anyone think jon bones is dodging aspinall
he definitely is
You're killing it Leo.
Sorry i missed this Luke - thank you!
Jones obsession with being the goat is so cringe
Aspinal isn't a king without a crown.. He is a King who literally doesn't need a "crown"... Just because the UFC and obviously Jones don't want to touch this fight currently, doesn't change the fact of what Aspinal has faced vs what Jones has faced in the HW cage.. That belt or "crown" WILL be Aspinal's sooner or later.. The question is simply does Jon have the sack and nerve to get into the cage with him... Likely not.. He WILL lose against Tom... He's going to retire before Tom gets a chance to steal his soul and some of his legend..
Jon in his prime would have beaten Aspinall's ass but now I doubt.
The real face and supreme HW champion of the world. More promotion for the Heavyweight div. Bring back the motto of " GO BIG OR GO HOME "
Tom Aspinall is really good but I don't like people saying "he's the real champ". He hasn't done what Jon Jones or Stipe have done. It really feels like there is no Heavyweight Champ right now because Ngannou left. If anything, Ngannou is the real champ.
Well he hasn’t done it because none of those people will fight him? What’s he to do??
@@dankmemesmeltexistentialdr2769 he will get his chance eventually. But you gotta remember, Jon Jones beat Cyril Gane in March and that was before Tom Aspinall even fought Tybura. So Tom Aspinall didn't earn a title shot at that time. Then Jon Jones wanted to fight Stipe for a legacy fight. So just because Tom Aspinall got two good wins after that, it doesn't change that Jon Jones Vs Stipe is going to happen.
Aspinall emphatically beat the #1 heavyweight contender in Pavlovich, who was on a massive win streak. I’d say that makes him a deserving champion
@Sleeepy23 a) he wont, jones will retire after stipe
b) like makhachev, if you're the champion, the number one in the div, you can beat anybody in there, why would you duck a challenger.
c) interim champ should mean something. And we all know what it means, so why is Jones avoiding it?
Ngannou barely defended a belt once. After that he went full diva-mode and asked way too much. He's a roided company product pushed by every MMA access media journo rats.
Jon relinquishing belt to aspinall means soon as healed he has lineal tie to it. Meaning tom has to fight him.
Nagnnou is has the lineal championship brother

Tom Aspinall makes Jon Jones hide under the ring faster than USADA
To be fair, there was the Stipe vs Jones before he became interim. It was also very unfortunate that Jones got his injury. However, I'm still Tom all the way. He is my favourite heavyweight.
Good ol ufc if you don’t care about your champion you ignore that you have a heavy weight division
Tom would have them quick he’s humble as fuck and an animal recipe for greatness
Tom has amazing speed, skills and movement for his weight! Im looking for his fight with jones
Tom is an absolute gentleman. Hope he wins the lot!
I don't understand what UFC is doing w Tom. Does not make sense to me but just imo. Give him a chance at least! Make Tom v Stipe at 300 🔥
Has everyone taught of what Jon might do to this Aspinal career if he beat him ,like the undefeated mma fighters he fought and beat…there is a reason he is called the Goat…went out of action for 3 years and made it look so easy with his return😊
At this point, Dana is hurting the UFC more than helping. At least when talking about matchmaking
Tom is fumbling the bag by not defending the interim belt . In boxing defending the interim belts is done all the time. If you don’t stay active you waste your career.
Tom is too FUCKING nice!!! I love how respectful he is, don't get me wrong! He's like the oldschool type of champion in the modern era of shit talkers, which I said many times I miss the most from the old days, but that DOESN'T FUCKING SELL! End of story!
Tom always is a true gent.
Man the narration hyped me up
Been tryna improve on it, so that means alot man thank you
I don't agree either way, attempting to predict who will dominate who. I like that Tom has been the more active fighter and certainly will have an advantage over anyone he faces. That said, JJ was inactive for a good period of time and eventually faced, at a higher weight class, another highly dominant fighter and literally smothered him. We've not seen Aspinall vs Jones at any other time, so to say one of them is hands down the favorite is pure trash talk............... I do look forward to the matchup and no, I don't have a favorite here
EDIT: Thinking about this some more; why didn't Tom fight Ciryl Gane instead of Blades? Ciryl was the one JJ smothered, so why not take that fight to move yourself that much further up? Just a question. Not seeing how fighting Blades moves Tom up further than fighting and winning vs Ciryl Gane. Make me understand this....................... Also props to Tom for taking out Pavlovich
“The Russian Fedor” -Dr. Joe
Yeah I had to double take that fr 😂??
I'm going to be so pissed if they don't make the Jon fight or if Jon retires
"im pushing all my chips to black" 🤣
Dana was praying he lost against Pavlovich in the short fashion that both men were known for to push him aside bcus of Toms recent injury and short camp. Then the big fight was probably planned to be Palovich vs Jones which Jones probably feels a lot more comfortable taking... Aspinall not only did it but he did it after pulling his back and being idle for 10 days or so prior to the fight absolutely cementing the fight that they won't permit. Honestly things like this make me fucking hate the entertainment business, but i guess we can finally say Dana is prioritising a fighter over a paycheck???
Ok I was saying no Alex v Jon but I'm sold on this dude. Dude's a modern day gladiator
We’ve never had to question what fight is next for a champ when an interim champ comes along. But now we have to wonder is stipe Jones going to happen or does aspinall actually get his rightful shot
What a big deal with Tom? He should be happy to get the title shot for interim belt being under Pavlovich, Gane and Stipe in rankings. Now he is a champ and can defend it many times even if Jones doesn't want to fight
Dana doesnt want stars
Fantastic video lad, well made and well written 🍻
He needs to fight whoever the champion is, to be the GOAT. He didn’t get to where he was without fighting the best and beating them... My guess is Dayna thinks Stipe is still relevant but all we care about is seeing JJ fight the best.
11:55 Isn't Fedor the Russian Fedor?
after his mauling of Alan Baudot, I had Aspinall as my pick for the next guy at Heavyweight once Ngannou was out of the promotion (since at the time Ngannou was still reigning champion). He has EVERYTHING you need to be a successful heavyweight.
Absurd power? ✅
Deceptively fast? ✅
Strong ground game? ✅
Strong chin? ✅
I predict that if there's ever a Jones/Aspinal fight that Jones will try to take out Toms knee
Jon fucked up the whole division. What should have happened is Gane win, then Tom would fight Gane for the title at UFC 300
The only way for Jones to prove himself at this point would be to beat Aspinall, I am confident for Aspinall for that fight though.
Put Tom and and Leon in the same card and have the event at the Wembley Stadium
110% correct 💯🏴
the future of the division
I dont understand why JJ hasnt had his belt taken yet. He is clearly not active and Tom is out here crushing and not getting his deserved belt...
Why isn't Tom Aspinall vouching for a rematch against Curtis Blaydes in which he conveniently got a injury before looking ineffective against him and getting caught multiple times? If Aspinall was really injured and felt he could beat him, he would have been saying something about a rematch instead of Jones
