Is Aspinall that good? I fell out of watching UFC/MMA and people are talking like he's Jones kryptonite. If his takedown defense isn't A1 he's gonna lose.
You dont have to have A1 takedown defense at HW plus Jones is pushing 40....If you have decent acticvity and hands you could give JJ issues....Stipe was just damn old and slow he never went forward and was throwing slap punches when he did....Ngannou/Aspnall def have the hands and aggression that would cause Jones issues at heavyweight...
Jones i thought looked kinda slow on his feet but fortunately he fought a guy who chose to be target practice....His legacy is important to Dana White and thats why you saw UFC not give him to Ngannou and only started yapping it about once he left....
