This is actually a class thread! I didn't even know this was here.
I'm so happy for Tom Aspinall. He is a great fighter. While I don't think he beats Jon Jones, I do however think that he is as good of a fighter that Jones will have faced.
Was not shocked that Perriera won against Jiri. He is a good fighter. I was cheering for Jiri though!
For me, Tom Aspinall has the speed and wrestling capabilities that can likely compete with the likes of Jon Jones, but for sure, it will be one extravagant fight, and I would love to see that happen. For me, I really want to see a Jon Jones vs. Tom Aspinall fight rather than with Stipe Miocic. I really think that Stipe Miocic cannot stand against Tom Aspinall. In my opinion, it is better for Jon Jones to not go with the Miocic fight but to eye a Tom Aspall fight than to get Stipe Miocic that isn't active any more.
Thanks from the support of Sportsbet.io representative steve and welcome to UFC thread fellow fighting fan!
I was shocked from the results as well with both the main and co-main events.
Here is Jiri talking about the early stoppage as I think he could of lasted abit longer against the onslaught of Pereira's elbows.
Jiri reflects on the ref's stoppage against Pereira - ESPN MMAhttps://www.youtube.com/shorts/-XAHCug_gNcFor the 30th anniversary the UFC put up on their media youtube channel the very first event they ever had:
UFC 1 - FULL EVENT | 30th Anniversaryhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zwx0SVQkH8cSo enjoy!
I was also surprised by what has happened with this event, and there is a great feeling about it that made it special even though I have gone with Jiri Prozchazka. I was really excited and still entertained by the results of this fight. I feel like it was a good stoppage for the referee, and Jiri Prochazka has also admitted that it was a clear stoppage that he was completely out during that fight. I think it was a close call for sure, but it was one big, huge mistake that Jiri Prochazka has taken and for sure getting aggressive toward Pereira, as this is the result for Alex Pereira to knockout Pereira.
