Yes

The hate and disrespect Aspinall gets is ridiculous, especially given how utterly unwarranted it is. It's mostly from the weird cult that is the Jon Jones fanboys who try to act like Jones not only didn't duck him but literally didn't pull one of the biggest ducks in combat sport's history. There is literally no argument it wasn't a duck but Aspinall is the bad guy for wanting his thoroughly deserved shot and he was nothing but respectful until he finally grew of Jones' disrespect, acting like a *****, and ducking him

Aspinall had a few competitive minutes in a fight for the first time in his UFC career or at least in a long time after blowing through half the top 10 like a knife through hot butter in seconds and a few minutes and people act like he was on his way to taking an L and he pulled a no mas

It was a terrible eye poke and had Aspinall continued with one good eye and lost these same clowns would be calling him a hype job

 

Spot on.

 

Thanks

 

I just saw a very up close slow replay, and imo, that was a pretty bad poke. The initial contact isnt too bad, like you said his eyes closed, but theres a secondary push that is likely what did the damage and imo its bad.

He probably doesnt, but it wouldnt surprise me if he actually has a genuine injury to the eye. That wasnt a grazing scratch, there was heavy pressure on his eye.

 

Yes

So dominant if he has a competitive round in which the action was very even and doesn't blast another top 10 opponent out of there in seconds or a few minutes with frightening ease a million fans act like he got his ass kicked and was on his way to taking an L and he never could've beaten former champs in hypothetical match up, all of whom lost themselves and had very competitive fights but Aspinall isn't allowed to have an even remotely competitive one for a round

15 wins

3 losses. 1 was on a freak injury and he avenged the loss via KO1


Of his 15 wins

All of them were via stoppage

14 in the 1st round

1 in the 2nd, 65 seconds into round 2

Pavlovic, Blaydes, Volkov, Spivac, Tybura all taken out with frightening ease in seconds or minutes of round 1

I'm pretty sure Gane vs Ngannou was super competitive over 5 rounds not 1 and IIRC a lot of people had Gane winning it and Ngannou had to resort to wrestling to eke out the win and he didn't drop Gane once in 5 rounds but Aspinall a ''hype job'' for having one competitive round in his entire UFC career vs a top 3 guy who has never been stopped and only dropped x 1

And Jones literally pulled one of the most shameless ducks of all time. He didn't believe he could beat Aspinall FFS. Hence why he wanted absolutely nothing to do with him

Aspinall is the bad guy for Jones shamelessly ducking him and for Gane quite intentionally double poking both his eyes and shoving his fingers into them

This was terrible. Gane clearly knew exactly what he was doing and intentionally pushes his fingers right in Aspinall's eyes

Yeah, Aspinall was at the very least holding his own in the striking, rocked Gane a few times, and could've ended the fight at any moment had the eye poke not occurred with that speed and power of is if he caught Gane right. He was clearly trying to pace himself too which was the smart thing to do

Ngannou was being outclassed on the feet by Gane and had to resort to wrestling to eke out a very close win, Jones immediately shot for a takedown against a Gane who had no ground game then because he didn't want to stand and strike with someone as fast and athletic as Gane which is the same reason he ducked Aspinall who not only is fast and athletic but also has big power and a ground game
