Cain Velasquez: Jon Jones beats Tom Aspinall because of Aspinall's predictable patterns.

"I don't think he [beats Jones]," Velasquez said of Aspinall. "Me just watching him, I kind of see his pattern a little bit, and his striking — the way he comes in and strikes. I think Jon sees it too. I think with that, just because, again, Jon, he studies, man. He does his homework. He's a master at this. He analyzes things. He studies you over and over again. I think just for that reason, he's going to know what to do. So I don't think [Aspinall] beats Jon. "Everybody has a pattern, right? There's a fight pattern," Velasquez continued. "Some people disguise it better than others. The simple fact is the way Tom comes in and fights, he does have a pattern that's somewhat easier to find. He comes in and strikes. And I think you know what we're talking about — a lot of things come with that. It's disguising your pattern. It's throwing fakes here and there before. But when he comes in to attack, he comes in and attacks. It's 100% full go. He comes in, glides in, lunges in and does his attack. Again, not that it's not effective — it is. He's done great things with it. But I think with the type of guy that Jon Jones is, I think he studies him, and he beats him because of that." submitted by /u/theiceman219 [link] [comments]
