General MMA Chat/News part 4 - **No Spoilers Use Event Threads**

Hi there,

Sorry if this isn't the right place to post, but does anyone know of any legitimate way to watch UFC on demand the morning after a fight.

So say Sunday morning, 10am, I'd like to sit down and have a legit dependable steam I can watch

Only options I can see are live at 3am, or 2 or 3 days later on Fight Pass;(

Thanks!

So after 2 years of Tom Aspinall waiting as interim champ (which is a stupid thing anyway) to fight Jon Jones, Jones retires and Aspinall is announced as HW champ by default by Dana at a press conference after a Fight Night in Azerbaijan.

Right.

I really don't care at this point. Jones is past his prime anyway, I never really understood why people felt he "had" to fight Aspinall. The man's career speaks for itself.

Though admittedly the flaking around and holding things up, not great.

As for Aspinall I would like to see him fight Almeida next. It has to either him or Gane.

I cant stand Jones but its the UFC and Danas fault for letting it drag on so long, they should've stripped him ages ago

Think if Jon Jones stays inactive for the next 5 years I still wouldn't bet against him in a fight with anyone. I don't think that man has the correct understanding of the word 'fear' that you and I have.

Topuria 😲

The absolute real deal.. and Charles looked a clear weight bigger

His jab is tremendous. Hard, stiff and clean

Topuria will clean out the LW division, can't wait to see him smash Paddy and Arman.

His analysis of all his opponents and perfect game plan is what set him apart. Obviously you have to be able to carry out the plan, that's why he's the GOAT.

I keep wondering if money played a part in his decision. I don't think the fight with Aspinall would have been that big of a draw. It's why he wanted Oliveira I think. He was probably annoyed when that didn't happen before Oliveira lost. He was calling for it for ages.

Aspinall vs Gane at the weekend. Seems a bit anticlimactic that there was never Jones vs Aspinall.

Very.

And having seen Gane fail against Ngannou & Jones, it's hard to really get excited about this fight either. I can see Aspinal bullying him and beating him pretty handily.

There's not really much to get excited about at HW these days. The winner of Volkov v Almieda might be next in line, almost definitely in Almieda's case. But other than that…………. the only fights for Aspinal that would do something would be Jon Jones coming back or, less likely but just as big, Ngannou.

Yeah Gane is weak on the ground. Got thrown about by Jones and Ngannou. Could be an easy night for Tom. I guess it comes down to how much Gane has improved in the last year.

Heres hoping Aspinall wins easily and calls out Jones and we get that fight.

MrStuffins

I know Tom is a Brit and the fight is on at a decent time……… but they have a cheek putting it on PPV in the UK. I'm not really sure how many buys they'll be expecting but I can't imagine it'll be too many.

I have the full legit sports package but thank God I keep access to watch by other means.

To be fair, its on at prime time.

hawaii501

Tom is what we all gane would be plus he has excellent ground game too.

I think he does him in 1 easily

The Nal

What a shambles the HW division is now.

That was a sore looking eye poke.

People accusing Aspinall of quitting!

Hopefully get a rematch asap. Tom looked small in there.

It's very hard to gauge how good Gane is. His losses were to two of the greatest of all time in Jones and Ngannou.

hawaii501

I think its the Volkov fight that maybe he was under-estimated but any fighter can have an off night.

Although the Ngannou fight wasn't great, shocked how they panned out. Thought Gane would win that one handy.

He looked huge compared to Tom so hopefully it's booked soon.
