I like this match up.

Aspinall would smash Gane imo. Either rebook the Blaydes fight or give him Pavlovich. Gane should be nowhere near a title shot.

Just get in there.
I'm sick of fighters just sitting out for years.

Isn't Gane fighting Spivak? Which I think is perfect matchmaking. And Blaydes is fighting Jailton? Which again, I think is great matchmaking. Sergei should get a title shot, no point having Sergei and Aspinall derail eachother. Set Tom up with either the winner of Gane vs Spivak or Jailton vs Blaydes depending on a few factors. Sergei should fight the winner of Stipe vs Jones.

White belt Gane isnt getting past Spivac. Hes finishing him on the mat and exposing him for good.

 

[Portland8242]

Aspinall sub in under 2 rounds.

Aspinall does actually have good wrestling. Easy fight to pick.

Aspinall is competent on the ground and is not stubborn like Gane is when it comes to improving your skills in MMA. Gane is a one dimensional fighter and Aspinall will take advantage of that fact.

If it's a fifa video game matchup, my money's on Gane.

He would've won if he didn't go Kneebar!
Which he did against lower level comp in his early career...
Sight I'm coping though .. such a bad fight for Gane... But I'm picking him .. war Gane ...

As a bjj white belt, that's the kinda stuff that goes down in my rolling sessions

 

[jitzmonkey]

Gane typically has great footwork; and can piece Aspinall up from the outside.
If Aspinall can get inside, *he shouldn’t have too much trouble getting him to the ground where Tom would most likely end the fight.

My concern about Tom would be that he’d ** very likely over penetrate on a long head kick or something and run right into a counter 2 with his hands down.

Did you see the Arlovski fight? He's railroading Gane if he wants the takedown

Arkovski’s nowhere near as light on his fight as Gane is.
That said, you may’ve misunderstood my comment.
My concerns (if I’m in Tom’s corner) would be his distance management and his tendency to drop his hands in boxing range.
Gane use angles quite well to *stay out of trouble.
It comes down to whether or not he can stay on the outside of the Brit long enough to stop Aspinall’s forward momentum.
If he can’t, and Tom gets in on a clinch, Gane’s F’d.
Keep in mind that this is assuming that Aspinall doesn’t continue to improve (distance management was much better tonight) at the same rate (because even if Gane continues to angle off and counter well,) then it’ll be less effective since Tom would be overextending significantly less ** if at all in general.

IIRC Tom can grapple Gane.

 

[west42]

Game is like "I'm gonna learn wrestling this time, guys. I'm super super serious."

 

[MMonk]

Aspinal doesn't deserve PAvlovich right now, needs another win.

 

[Fight Professor]

It would be an interesting striking match but Aspinall is going to be too much on the ground.
