this is not a hindsight smartarse comment but afew minutes (stretching it, seconds really) into the fight, ...words come to mind about Walker were molasses, treacle, statue...he was asking for lights out...
his flopping about after a KO now is no longer funny.

Rob you little ripper!
Can't really get behind this personally. The first encounter was a mismatch and Aspinall's trajectory is far more upwards than Volkov at this stage.
Genuinely concerning manner of KO for Walker. That's what, four KOs like that in the last 4 years? He's in a really tough spot now as his only role is as gatekeeper, but someone with that chin shouldn't really be the testing material for anyone.
Awesome from Rob, turns out he's a big step up from Warlley Alves!
Probably fair enough, Volkov v Tom will probably happen though I think assuming Tom wins. Jones v either would be good but I feel Jones is going to retire if (when) he wins.
Geez looking at the HWs there's not much competition for Aspinall I don't reckon, it's ****ing bullshit that he doesn't have the strap really.

Yeah aspinals title reign will be the most boring of all time, not his fault there's just no one close to his level. He's like a middleweight skilled fighter at heavyweight
I even think he would walk through Ngannou and sub him first round

Blaydes will be a decent fight for Asp then potentially Gane at some point. HW is always thin and everyone in the top 15 is only 1 good win away from a title shot. People always get hyped for the big boys, it'll only take 1-2 KO's for the next challenger to emerge

Him and Holloway really are the best gatekeepers in UFC history..

Very true. It's just shitty that this Miocic - Jones fight has been holding things up for ages and we're not there yet. It would be ok if we can anticipate some fights coming out of it but they'll both pull the pin I assume.
Absolutely no interest in that fight either. Most fans agree, there was a poll on youtube for Jones next opponent and something like 70% of votes wanted Aspinall...
100% both retire after but Stipe already should have. Jones is lazy now and won't risk the unbeaten* record fighting the new blood imo
* isn't technically undefeated but we know he is

Had money on the decision either way but essentially broke even on the figgy bet when the Vera by decision was paying 1k parlayed with shara and Dern. Oh well

Saddest downfall since Anderson Silva.. Tony has gone from 25-3 to 25-11 lol... Silva went from 33-4 to 34-11 (1 NC).
Tony's downfall is way beyond Anderson's now. Post the leg break (at age 38) he was still competitive with Bisping and Cormier (at 41yo), and Izzy (at 44yo).
BJ's downfall is the only one I can think of that is on Tony's level.
Top tier fight in the main event. Have to feel for Sandhagen, just not destined to be the guy. I actually thought he was a very tricky matchup for Umar, and he proved to be that, but man is Umar good. Likely goes in favourite against either O'Malley or Merab.
Excellent performance from Figueiredo as well, goes up a division and becomes the first man to knock down Chito. He's too old to make a real impact on Bantamweight, but he'll wreak some havoc anyway.

That's the one I compare it to, and it's sad to watch, you really just want the people around these guys to have a tough discussion with them.
Umar seems the real deal, happy to see him thrown in there with O'Malley as soon as you can basically, Sandhagen is ****in good.
