GDT: UFC Fight Night: Aspinall vs. Tybura

[I am not exposed]

Fun first round. Both guys got dropped, but Wood did a lot more.

 

[I am not exposed]

1 round each. Each guy close to being finished.

Good fight, but kind of a ho-hum R3.

I think it's Wood 1,3.

 

[I am not exposed]

A more tentative 3rd round. Probably Wood as he had more significant strikes in the 3rd round. See how the judges saw it.

Yeah I have Wood too, but the eye test didn't say he has triple the significant strikes so, we'll see.

Yeah I was quite surprised when it showed roughly triple. Seemed a lot closer.

Sometimes I think the stat counters are just as confused as the judges sometimes. I don't even really know what constitutes a significant strike these days but apparently Wood had a lot of them in a round that I thought was kind of quiet.

Nevermind this is my new favorite card

Knew McCann was going to lose.

Guess she needed Paddy there lol

 

[Taytro]

Meatball been exploited lately. Losing to Blanchfield is fine but taking an L to one of the worst fighters in one of the worst divisions is not a great look.

This is a strange intro.

Honestly think this is the most boring event of the year, or at least of the ones I watched live.

I wasn't posting earlier but I 100% agree. Got a nice finish in the first fight and Roberts/Parsons was fun but the other 9 fights ranged from awful to not great. Diakiese/Alvarez wasn't great and then had a bad finish that should be overturned IMO. I also don't know how the UFC thought they could get 9 prelims in 3 hours. More than anything 15 fights is just waaaay too much.

Muniz/Craig and Wood/Fili were good though.

Hoping Aspinall can look good in a bounce back here.

Did anyone think she was good to begin with though? She had a couple nice KOs against low-level fighters but she's a prelim-level fighter herself.

 

[CDJ]

That was easy

Man, so impressed by Aspinall. First, thanks for ending this quick because I have been watching fights for 6 hours instead of enjoying the sun.

But his movement, footwork, and hands looked great. Really nice to see considering that injury he suffered.

Can't say I enjoyed the entire card, but the last few fights delivered. Time to get outside.

 

[I am not exposed]

Well what a way to go through the tune up fight! Damn

Aspinall is very likable.

And I like his callout. Makes sense.

 

[Taytro]

Heavyweight is looking about as good as it has been in recent memory. Jones, Pavlovich, Aspinall, and Gane with Almeida slowly climbing his way up. I'll leave out Stipe because I'd imagine he retires once he takes this L to Jon in a couple months. I have a bad feeling Jon might run/vacate once he beats Stipe.

Who was his callout?

Winner of Gane vs. Spivak. Then fight for the title against Jones. Although I could see Spivak fighting for the title now I think about it. If he wins that fight against Gane of course.

 

[pistolpete11]

Wow. Aspinall should beat Tybura, but Tybura is still a veteran, perennial top 10 HW. To run through him like that after a major injury was impressive.

Gane-Aspinall would be dope. 2 HW's that can move like that? Pavlovich has got to fit in here somehow, though. Aspinall-Pavlovich in a #1 contender fight would make more sense, honestly.

 

[td_ice]

Aspinall made Tybura look like a tomato can. I know he isn't, but man, he looked awful. Had the look of a man who was beat before he even started/didn't want to be in there. But I guess that's what happens when you get hit hard early. Not much you can show.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Fell asleep before the last 2 fights, how did aspinall look?

Pavlovich versus a fighter who won’t stand infront of him and just eat his power would be an interesting fight.

That was supposed to be Blaydes, but then Blaydes decided he was a kickboxer.

Whether Jones/Stipe win and stick around is also a factor in the HW matchmaking IMO. If Jones wins, I think he should stick around, but might not since there aren't any other big names. If Stipe wins, I think he should retire on a high, but probably wouldn't .

If there is still a champ, Pavlovich might get next in which case, Aspinall's plan of getting the winner of Gane-Spivac makes sense timing wise. If there will be a vacant belt, it would be nice to have Gane-Spivak and Aspinall-Pavlovich on the books already and then you could do the winner for the vacant belt.
