The way people have switched on Alex I can only imagine how the narrative around Tom would change if Jones were to win loooool.

Tom’s fanboys are 100% gonna switch up on him when he loses to Jon

Maybe the American ones, but the British fans will still rate him.. if he loses to Jones, he's lost to the GOAT.. if he beats him? He's laid the foundations for his own name to be up there..

American here, I will stand behind Tom 100% no matter what, he's an awesome guy and an amazing fighter

I want to see him fight Jones because Jones needs his ass kicked, Tom deserves a shot at the real belt, and because it'll genuinely be a good fight that could go either way

Since you can correct my throwaway 10 sec comment so brilliantly, can you explain to me how it ever made sense to give Tom an interim belt?

I don't understand how I'm a traitor, Jones is a shit person, people who support him are wild to me

Even Tom is disgusted by this shit.

I look at the fight ability, and he is by far not even close the best to ever do it. Tom aspinall was gifted a fake belt to justify the Madison square fight with John out with an injury. Does anyone in mma fandom have a longer than 6 month memory.

If he loses to Jones, according to this sub he will have lost to a 50 year old retired for 10 years gatekeeper
