I like Tom and I would pick him over Jones but he was getting outstruck in the Blaydes fight and he has a bad habit of leaving his chin up.

Bisping is such a homer. Put any UK fighter in the discussion and he just starts gushing.

I don't understand everybody fawning over Aspinall as if he's already champ.

We have no idea if the guy has any gas tank at all. He hasn't actually fought a real wrestler yet.

Aspinall looks very promising but come on

Din Thomas was saying the same sorts of thing postfight. It was wild.
