Who does Poatan have a better chance at beating for the HW belt? Jones or Aspinall?

[Takes_Two_To_Tango]

Jon Jones has the the HW belt while Aspinall has the Interim HW belt.

Who do you think Poatan has a better chance in beating?

Jones

 

[ThaiSexPills]

Jones is too good of a wrestler and grappler I think. People are forgetting already what he did to Gane. He outwrestled DC too.

 

[WhiteMousse]

Honestly Jones because he's gotten really lazy and slow. Alex would have to really, really train TDD. I don't know if he could pull it off.

But I really do believe that if Alex connected on Jones clean, even once, it would be the end of the fight. Don't think it would happen but if it did I'd say you have to at least consider him in the GOAT conversation

 

[chinarice]

Aspinall because Tom will stand with him.

Jones will take him down and destroy him.

 

[PrideNverDies]

Jones is the much easier fight and similar size 205er. Jones striking wouldn't be able to stand with Alex

 

[Nobru]

both are hard matchups, in theory, for the rassling part, not the striking.
Alex has the pop to one shot both of them, tho. If they fight and Tom keeps it standing...... Jones would most likely rasslefuck him tho, if he still got the gas tank.

 

[ncboy]

Still hasn't fought anyone who would exploit the ground game. These two are alpha level wrestlers. He should fight

I love Poatan, but repeat after me, “he hasn’t faced an elite grappler”. Jones would eat him alive on the ground.

 

[hswrestler]

I think Aspinall can take poatans shots better than Jones could so probably him

 

[ipowerslapmywife]

Jones would be easier since he lacks any threat to KO Alex. I’m confident Alex could stuff jones and is the far better striker

 

[PeterGriffin]

Tough choice, but I am going with Jones being the easier fight for Alex.

I believe Aspinall's in better shape and has better cardio and is used to fighting at his weight. I am not sold on Jones' cardio at HW and we have not seen Jones in the later rounds. I believe the longer the fight goes, the more it works in favour of Aspinall.

Also, I don't think think Pereira would be scared of Jones or intimidated at all. A lot of Jones' previous opponents respected his skills and were already behind the eight ball before the cage door even closed. I don't think Alex gives any fucks and would take the fight to Jones and work on those skinny getaway sticks.

 

[Tweak896]

I don't think Aspinall's wrestling is as good as Jones so he'd probably be a better option. Jones injury might be worse than we think though.

 

[Fergelmince]

I like Pereira, but I don't think he fairs well against either. But he has a slightly better chance with Aspinall. Jones would probably end his career.

 

[luckyshot]

Neither. He's benefitted immensely from the lack of good wrestlers he's faced.

Alex has the pop to one shot both of them, tho.

I doubt this. Aspinwall ate Sergei Pavlovich's Sunday punch just last fight and was unfazed. And has Jones EVER really been hurt by a strike?

 

[RockyLockridge]

Poatan Vs rozenstruike is the perfect fight for him at heavy weight

 

[FreedomCricket]

I think Aspinal has a shot at KOing Alex (1 shot KO). Jones does not.

Aspinal is likely the strongest of the three in terms of physical strength.

I think Jones has the better opportunity to submit Alex. Alex might get layed on by Tom but not submitted.

 

[Travis Alexander]

Jones has fought a who’s who of powerful strikers and never looked rocked or dropped from a strike. He understands distance too well and when to initiate the clinch and takedown. Jones would drown him most of you are too blinded by your dislike of Jones outside the cage to give an honest take as to how he would fare.

Over the past decade and a half I’ve been on these boards watching you all try to tell me how “(Fighterx) will finally expose jones.” They won’t he’s the best to ever do it and is too good at literally every conceivable facet of the sport. GOAT shit. Any other fighter is easier for Alex at HW just insert a name.

 

[Fight Professor]

Tom is far less proven.

Rozen or Volkov
