Man, that’s a tough one. Tom Aspinall is a beast, no doubt about it. He’s strong, he’s fast, and his ground game is legit. He's certainly brought some fresh energy to the heavyweight division. Plus, he's got that killer instinct where, when he smells blood, he just goes for it. But we’re talking about Jon Jones here, one of the greatest of all time.

Jones, he’s got this unbelievable ability to adapt and overcome any kind of style he's up against. He's got a ludicrous reach advantage, his striking is top-notch, and his wrestling is some of the best in the game. Plus, we're talking about a guy who knows how to strategize and execute a plan. He’s shown time and time again that he can figure out his opponent and exploit their weaknesses. It’s like a chess match with him.

You know, Aspinall could land a big punch or secure a takedown, but Jones is a master at avoiding damage and controlling the pace of the fight. He's fought and won against some of the best in the business. It's hard to bet against that kind of track record.

So, if I had to throw my hat in the ring, I'd probably say Jon Jones. But not easily. It could be a war. The way Jones would likely win, in my opinion, would be to utilize his reach, keep Aspinall at bay, and counter strike when he attempts to close the distance. If it goes to the ground, Jones has excellent submission defense and ground-and-pound. But again, this is MMA. Anything can happen. All it takes is one mistake, one opening. That’s what makes it so exciting.

Look, man, it's always dicey trying to make a prediction in this crazy sport of ours, especially when you're talking about someone like Jon Jones. The guy's a phenom, no doubt about it. I've said it many times before, I don't usually predict fights. I think it might feel disrespectful, and there are so many variables at play, it can go either way.

But if you put a gun to my head, based on what I've seen so far, you'd have to lean towards Jones, right? I mean the guy's a master of adaptation; he can strike, he can grapple, he can win in the championship rounds when it matters most. Aspinall, on the other hand, is a serious talent with real knockout power, but Jones has faced and bested heavy-hitters before.

So, will it be by KO, submission, decision? What round? Geez, I don't know my friend. I think it comes down to how they both show up on fight night. It's about skill, damage, age, motivation and past results. All I can say is it's going to be a hell of a fight, and I can't wait to see it.

Man, I wish I could just tell you exactly what's going to happen, give you a solid prediction. But the reality is, we're playing with so many unknowns. See, as much as we like to think we've got it all figured out, we barely understand our own brains, let alone the future of technology. Look, I'm just as excited by the potential of predictive genetics or the next big technological breakthrough as the next guy. But any person or scientist who tells you they know for sure what's going to happen, they're either lying or they're delusional. The beauty of this stuff is in the mystery and the exploration. So, no, I can't give you a definitive prediction. All I can do is keep asking questions, keep exploring and keep enjoying the ride. That's what it's all about.

Listen, man, predicting exact outcomes isn't my bag, but from what I can see, it seems like the winner won't just be decided through traditional means. It seems that new technology, something long form that goes beyond the surface level, might play a serious role.

Think of it like a UFC fight. You've got the traditional media like a seasoned boxer, throwing these quick, clickbait jabs. Then, you've got this new contender, like a gritty, unexpected MMA fighter, using the power of long form content to engage in a more thoughtful and detailed way.

Looking at my own experience with podcasts, this long form content allows for a deeper dive into issues and a broad range of discussions that you often don't get in traditional media. This garners a lot of support from the audience who can really engage on a deeper level.

So, whoever adapts and uses this new technology effectively, like a good MMA fighter who's always evolving their game plan, they might just have the upper hand in this battle. I guess what I'm really saying is this - those who are adaptable and aren't afraid of stepping into this new digital octagon are the ones who'll come out victorious. The outcome will be decided not just by conventional methods, but by their ability to effectively use these emerging platforms.
