BISPING interviews Tom Aspinall: "Jon Jones Should be STRIPPED!" | UFC 295 interview 

Have you ever been fingered by a UFC fighter?

100% agree, proud to be British !

Jesus mate what the F has being Northern got to do with anyone, but yourself.... Manchester is SO Northern init mate.

​@@geeksworkshopTo be fair to them there is a lot of talent in the north Lots of great musicians two heavyweight champions.

@@geeksworkshop because the North Vs South banter/rivalry/mick taking is as old as time. No reason not to enjoy a bit of Northern pride when it comes to MMA. Calm down fella

Spoken like a true southern fairy lol@@geeksworkshop

Whooaa we forgot about coach Erick, Strickland and Francis coach

Erik is coach of the year

@@joelgroves7500 tbh and putting my recency bias aside ur right, Eric Nicksick(not sure if I spelled correctly) is 100% gonna win coach of the year. I'm just still buzzing over Tom's win and getting to hear more from his pops lol. Sean and Francis both had career defining moments this year and Eric was a huge part of both getting it done. When Tom beats Jon next year Andy will win it 😁

​​@@joelgroves7500Francis didn't fight MMA this year. He adds no value to MMA coach of the year.

@@dcn92123 damn dude that's a really good point! Didn't even think about it being "mma coach" 🤦‍♂️ lol. I do still think Eric deserves it tho bc he had alot of success with his other not as well known fighters this year in mma too, Stricklands was just by far the biggest storyline

He's a great fighter I'd love to fight him

You can't fight his friend. He just said he died yesterday..

God bless you and your friend mate 🙏

🙏

@@mistaschaub3280Moron

Damn fucking right

Yeah. Screw that french dude Ciryl Gane. Why does he keeps getting title shots while losing and while there are other guys waiting their chance.. In my opinion Jones should let the belt go if he’s going to be a year or more out before he gets stripped from it. Much better look. I rather see Tom vs Stipe first, then Tom vs Jones when he comes back.

Most dangerous guy in the division 😂😂😂😂

Yeah but he may as well as it's an easy tune up before Jones

​@xgtwb6473 wut? Jones will never fight him. Never. Maybe for a billion dollars but thats about it. He will not risk losing a fight as he transitions out to retirement with his current stats. Thats why this stipe fight is so locked in. Its a guarantee pad. No disrespect to Jones, he's a fucking legendary animal, but he's over the hill and knows it or he would have been active in the last 5 years..

​@@ttocs0000Jones over the hill is still above 99% of champions at their peak, Jones is a freak of nature with a mean streak to really apply it with intent. Aspinall is good, but he's not close to a prime Jones, and have some doubts over his ability to deal with Jones. Jones dealt with Gane like it was a warm up, yet everyone was hyping Gane, his movement was too much, too big, too athletic bla bla bla, and yet prime Ngannou took 5 rounds, over the hill Jones took a few mins... Just saying... Oh and I'm English before anyone thinks I'm American hyping an American, fact just remains Jones is STILL the baddest man alive 🤷‍♂️

@jjleejj it's a shame we will never know... every fight is its own fight. If youre going to say Jones or tom is this or that bc of one or 2 fights, you're a moron and sinply dick riding. I'm in this for the sport, not to dick ride one guy or the other idgaf if they're from America, turkey or Mars. I want to see the baddest men Duke it out, period. And I may like what some guys bring to the table more than others, but I just want to see a badass fucking fight at the end of the day!

@@ttocs0000 where did I mention Jones?

He’s like the “godfather”, the “forefather” if you will. Assumed the role brilliantly.

Perhaps too much?…..

And Sergei took some big shots from Blaydes and Tuivasa and didn't go down. Plenty of times he was off balanced too. I think it's his speed that's the problem.

​@@okay1775speed plus the fact he's 260 and 6'5 lol

​@@okay1775The faster something goes when it hits something. The more damage it does, and if the person is already powerful, it's just double powerful. The only one problem of that is that will diminish with age There isn't heavyweights last longer. It's because power is the last thing to go and speed is one of the first. But I think in the next four years he can do a lot I think he will have the most title defences of any heavyweight by a long way.

​@@AlexYoung1995Yeah he's a athletic man mountain. That moves like a WW

Damn wish my pop was like you lol

Done great tbh....I'm a big fan....but its embarrassing hearing him talking about Bones ....cringe

Ve'ry br'i'sh o u mate

who sam?

I'm. Gon. Sending. Outta. Space

"Especially" a "Heavyweight" fighter is only as good as his Punch resistance/chin and Lucidity when Partially stunned

Someone confiscate this guy's apostrophe key

Correct. His speed isn't even normal. It's genetically unusual, to the point that Tom needs to have studies done on him.

@@starseeddeluxe Supposedly Colin Heron at Kaobon deliberately trained him from a young age to throw with the speed and volume of lighter weight classes. I think people knew Tom was powerful but not to the extent of how easily he KO'd Pavlovich.

​@WS-bk7uu Apparently he wasn't big until he was about 15. He was quite a small kid so he was used to training and being fast And then he had a massive growth spurt But he kept that speed. So he has the speed of a ww In a giant 6"5 Athletic juggernaught body.

I guess he did compromised Sergei's lead leg with precision low kicks bfr obviously the flurries of 2 in continuity. I hope he'll stay in this form for the years to come!!

I think the onoy one who could beat Aspinall is Anatoly Malykhin, ONE Championship Heavyweight and Light Heavyweight current Double Champ. Anatoly is the perfect fighter: highest IQ, highest wrestling, highest technique, highest punch power, highest striking, highest ju jitsu skills, highest ground and pound, highest gas tank and resistance. Not a single hole in his fighting style. Go watch all his matches, all finalized. Dana is bringing him in UFC really soon. Go watch his matches.

@user-nv2w4hi8t Thanks for exposing this fool . And yet people try to forget that it took this juice head three years to be « ready » to move to heavyweight when he was walking around 235 240 at lhw and he clearly didn’t wanna fucking face ngannou…and rightfully so because Francis(especially the composed version who demolished stipe in the rematch who had wrestling)would have been a motherfucker for jones to deal with. Same as a prime cain Velasquez. Jones didn’t even fancy a move into that weight class until he beat Cormier the second time around(while being on steroids)and for the first time called out the mighty Brock lesnar. The fight didn’t materisalised because he got popped and got suspended. When he came back though there was no willingness to move up and face prime stipe unlike dc who stepped up despite being 5feet 10 and as chubby as you a Macdonald worker.

Sure is - such a top bloke. I'm a Kiwi, but he's my favourite fighter hands down.

@@JimChap from America here, but Tom's my fav fighter at the moment as well! Tbh its between him and Brandon Moreno...... but it's 1 and 1a between them. I like seeing the genuinely good guys break thru and get the resepct and money they deserve ✌️

Ditto!

I’m an attack helicopter and Tom is among one of my fav fighters as well. Gotta strike while the bandwagon is hot, y’know?

​@@tor3699😐😐😐

Warrington

😂😂😂

Keep running your mouth. Jon Jones submit the new hype train first round... Remember Cane the French man?

Man stfu Jon out wrestled a dude with bad grappling. How he performs against a much more well rounded fighter has nothing to do with how he beat Gane.

​@WDA- Gane got out grappled by Ngannou. He was never champ material. He only got the title fight because Ngannou left and they couldn't make the Stipe fight. Aspinall wrecks Jon Jones at this point.

@@WDA- The Frenchman the entire knowledgeable world has always said was insanely overrated? Gane has toddler grappling and pillow fists. Tom beats Jones in grappling too. He's a bigger, stronger man. Just straight up more of a man than Jon is.

@@maltheri9833 welp, too bad. Jon's resume is still way more impressive than Tom's so I'll be betting on Jon if it ever happens.

😂😂😂

Brilliant 😂

I can't believe people are just keeping quiet about this situation. The fans need to absolutely demand Stipe vs. Aspinall. It's the easiest decision in the world. No other option makes sense. Jones needs to be stripped ASAP.

I agree but, I’ll be surprised if Jones doesn’t challenge him. Jones was a heavyweight before for real and, taking off 2-3yrs just to get properly prepared for heavyweight and dominate like, he has been. Then be challenging Francois at the same time is just more of his (Jones) bullshit. Yea he’s great and been great but he’s had a size and athleticism advantage on most and experience on the rest.

@@_KaiRos-11 I think jones in his prime would have challenged him in an instant but even his last few light heavyweight fights he wasn’t his best, gane was the perfect opponent to come back at heavyweight and also stipe with his age and lack of competition but Tom is a whole different animal and young and hungry which really makes a difference plus has not been through all the wars jones has. I would love to see them fight I just think another year or so after rehabbing injury he won’t fight Tom. I could be completely wrong only time will tell mate.

lol lets see 5 title defenses first

@@FightingSportsMedia no current contender beats him

You just cursed him.

​@@FightingSportsMedia😂😂😊 what ? The longest streak is 3...

Absolutely nailed that mate.

It makes sense for Dana white that will make him millions . But yeah most fans probably would rather see jones vs tom

@@paulgal It would make a lot of money for one fight and then nothing going forwards, letting Tom fight and beat both of them creates a star that can make the UFC millions for years to come.

What mega star did the ufc created? All the big name celebrities who were invited by Dana came to the show because they were promised a massive star fight in Jones who just did one million ppv buys in his last fight and a 12 million dollar gate. Jones vs Gane ticket sold out during fight week and Jones vs Stipe was trending to be sold out come fight week as well as MSG was not a big enough venue compare to Las Vegas. Jones and Connor have the highest ticket price in the industry. The cheapest sit in the Jones vs Stipe fight is 1200 dollars while the highest ticket is 100k dollars. The cheapest ticket price had to be slash because Jones was not fighting. If Tom was such a huge star, why the price slash?

@@paulgal it doesn’t though. If Tom beats Stipe and Jones he’s a superstar anyway and will pull in massive money for years. Stipe and Jones will only pull in money for that one fight and I don’t think it will be as big as the UFC thinks it is, nobody cares about it and the fans see through it. They wanna build it as the heavyweight GOAT Vs the GOAT but they’ve both barely fought in years and Stipe is coming off a knockout loss from 3 years ago… They’re only doing it because he wants to say Jones is the GOAT and that he would’ve beaten Ngannou but they could do that with Tom too and if they make Stipe Vs Tom first and then Stipe wins, not only do they get an extra fight from Stipe, they’ve made the Stipe Vs Jones fight big and interesting again. Jones Vs Stipe only makes sense for Jon Jones and Stipe. Nobody else.

Jon's title is not being disputed he beat the brakes out of Gane which makes Jon Jones the undisputed 2 time champion. He never lost the light heavy weight.. he gave it away...

​@@dharris1084ableBut he is going for a legacy fight against Stipe, instead of unifiying his belt by going against Tom Aspinal. If the interim champ wants to fight the champ, but the champ doesn't want to, then he ducks the interim champ in my opinion.

No..

@@dharris1084able Gane is a pillow fisted toddler with zero grappling who didn't earn either of his title shots and lost both. Feed him to Almeida, Blaydes and Pavlovich. He'll be exposed and cut.

@@berkaysahin9919 Exactly this. Interim champs CANNOT exist along with undisputed ones. They are ''placeholders''. The only ones the undisputed champ is allowed to fight, is the interim champ. That's literally on their own website. So they're actively breaking the rules in order to allow Jon to duck Tom. As such, Tom is undisputed, because he's the only one doing the disputing, LOL!

Beautiful part of the country mate.

I think most people believe in their hearts that tommy is the real champ.

Racist!!! 😂

'devils avocado' Don't know if that was deliberate or not but that made me crack up.

No, Tom doesn’t call the shots he’s just the new guy. Bisping was the one speaking facts Stipe vs Tom doesn’t do anything for the UFC, Jon is still the man, Tom derailed a sloppy hypetrain good for him but he hasn’t won the real belt so he doesn’t have that leverage.

@@BrainFuck10 And what does having a retirement fight between two aging legends do for the UFC in the long run? Nothing, it makes them a lot of money for a one off fight at the cost of killing the division and reducing revenue in the long run. Having Tom fight Stipe and then Jones builds his star power and can turn him into the sort of money maker that GSP was in his prime. I'll remind you that Jon doesn't call the shots either, Dana does, and Dana will always do what's makes the most money.

@@BrainFuck10 I understand where you’re coming from but don’t you think that Tom deserves the opportunity to fight Jon? Regardless of if you think Sergi was a hype job or not the UFC put an interim title on the line and Tom did the business, therefore his next fight should be against the man currently holding the full title. They did pretty much the same thing when Robert Whittaker was the interim champion and they pursed the GSP vs Bisping fight regardless of Rob having a belt or not but when they found out that GSP wasn’t returning they immediately promoted Rob to undisputed. I don’t think they should just promote Tom but I believe that if Jon is going to be out for an extend period of time they should strip him and allow Tom to fight whoever they want for the undisputed title, we’ve seen them do the same thing with the two previous light heavyweight champs in the last twelve months alone and I think it’s a bit dumb that Jon doesn’t have to play by the same rules for whatever reason. I’ve been very disinterested in the Jones vs Stipe fight from the beginning though so I might be a little more biased towards Toms point of view then others 🤷‍♂️

Good question too mate, Andy's response was golden 😂

@@KingDomsKingdom85 cheers mate yea quality response and from bisping 🤣

@lewissmith845 haha it made me laugh geez. Hearing Andy just deadpan saying "NOOOOOO" straight away gave me a laugh.

Yeah one hundred percent. There have been a few people that have admitted. They were completely wrong and I respect them for that. I was routing for tom But I can't tell you I wasn't shitting myself worried

​@@kaizen2134you know if you click on their name...you can see what they've wrote on the same RU-vid channel right ?

we need people like John fury he’s boxings only piece of entertainment

its not entertainment its just embarrasing and cringe @@Shrnirpledorp

Without John Fury boxing would be so boring. We all love John fury. He is the best!

Lol he didn’t take that flush from Serg, tom has great reflexes and head movement he moved just enough. if that was flush tom would be out

Tom is so lucky Ngannou left the ufc. He'd get knocked unconscious by him. Prolly wouldn't wake up for an hour lol.

Ngannou wouldn't land shit on Tom

@@716VideoTom would maul francis

​@@716VideoFrancis is just crazy strong...that's it. All he's ever been. If he was born into any other body size...he wouldn't be in the ufc

Pulled mine getting out of bed one morning myself mate 😂, father time waits for no man lol.

at my peak fitness level, after a day of fairly light deadlifts, nothing to hard....sneezed whilst doing a shit and pulled my back. Wiping my arse was so damn hard 😂

How is Tom Aspinall a gentleman? He was one and one in his last two fight. Was gifted and interim title because Dana White can't risk putting Gane in there with Sergie and having Gane win. Then procceed to deny Gane a shot out of revenge while saying Gane should fight Almedia, knowing fully well that Gane will loose that fight. Decided to call out a fighter who is coming off a loss, Tai tuivasa who is a very easy match up for him. Saying the greatest fighter of all time Jon Jones should be stripped of his belt because he got injured. If that is your idea of a gentleman, you better check your standards. That is a cocky entitled brat to me.

@@MMABonescry more

​@@MMABoneswhat ? 😂😂 Buddy...wtf are you talking about ? 😂😂😂

When has the UFC ever not played favorites?

I believe they both volunteered to vacate. I think Jon should be able to hold it considering who he is, and if I'm Tom there's no sweeter way to become undisputed than prying it from the hands of the greatest fighter who ever lived.

Jon Jones has earned it

They both *CHOSE* to give it up, and all us fans massively respect their attitude towards it... proper martial artists.

Omg they didn't make them they chose to geeze

He didn't want to be some kind of hype train from the UK

There's other beasts out there. Within the next 2-3 years they'll be making their way to the ufc.

LOL he won one fight... LOL you casuals are hilarious.

Lol he literally did give up his lhw title rofl, so you're saying he should give up 2 titles? 😅 now that'd be a record

Okey buddey oh my werd baby boy

Woops, capslock, careful

Northern English need editing sometimes 😆, paddy would be still popular if his people told him hes too 90iq to be spreading his opinions on things .

😂😂😂

​@@xtoz1779whats funny

not soon lmao and only HW GOAT lmao if thats ever even happens lol

@@FinnMMA there is no one stopping him, name one person?

3 Years he can surpass HW GOAT accolades. 5 Years he can be an all time GOAT. Remember, 265 title defenses count for literally double any other title defenses.

It would of meant something if you said it 2 years ago instead of when he wins a world title 🤡

Hot take🔥 he just won the belt lol

​@@Know3odya lot of people (me included) have been saying the same thing for years mate 👍🏻

@@13.t.a johno hasn't. He said it tonight. If I wasn't mistaken, I was commenting to him?
