Tom Aspinall is brushing off UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones’ public interest in a potential fight with Alex Pereira.
Jones (27-1 MMA, 21-1 UFC) called a fight against light heavyweight champion Pereira (10-2 MMA, 7-1 UFC) the biggest in MMA history and went on to argue why Pereira is a much more lucrative fight than interim heavyweight champ Aspinall. Jones’ return fight will come against Stipe Miocic, not a title-unifier vs. Aspinall.
Aspinall (14-3 MMA, 7-1 UFC) doesn’t see a need to address Jones unless he’s going to fight him, which he thinks is highly unlikely at this point.
