The world of UFC is buzzing with a surprising take from commentator Jon Anik, who has chosen a side in a hypothetical matchup that has fans divided.
UFC commentator shocks with his pick for a legendary matchup.
In a recent 'winner stays on' video, Anik was asked to choose between current heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall and former UFC legend Daniel Cormier. But here's where it gets intriguing: Anik, who had already favored Aspinall over other greats like Brock Lesnar and Stipe Miocic, found himself in a dilemma when faced with Cormier.
Anik, considering his friendship with 'DC', initially hesitated. But ultimately, he sided with Aspinall, stating, "I gotta be consistent, Tom Aspinall." This decision is a bold statement, especially given Cormier's legendary status in the UFC.
But the controversy doesn't end there. The video continued with two more names that made Anik pause: Jon Jones and Francis Ngannou. Jones, a fan-favorite matchup for Aspinall, and Ngannou, a dream fight for fans, both presented unique challenges. Yet, Anik remained steadfast in his choice, declaring, "Tom Aspinall's the answer, every day of the week."
This unexpected take has sparked debates among fans and experts alike. While some agree with Anik's assessment, others argue that Cormier's prime form would have been a 'nightmare' for Aspinall. And this is the part most people miss: Aspinall himself believes he'd lose to Cormier in his prime, highlighting the former champ's unique attributes.
As the discussion rages on, one question lingers: Is Anik's choice a fair assessment, or is it a controversial opinion that divides the UFC community? Share your thoughts in the comments, and let's explore the fascinating world of hypothetical matchups and their endless possibilities.
