Alex Pereira could steal Jon Jones Bout from Tom Aspinall

Michael Bisping warns Tom Aspinall that Alex Pereira could go after Jon Jones after UFC 313.

Pereira (12-2 MMA, 9-1 UFC) defends its light heavyweight title against Magomed Ankalaev (20-1-1 MMA, 11-1-1 UFC) in Saturday’s main event at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas (ESPN+ Pay-Per-View, Espnews/Disney+, ESPN+).

Bisping is convinced that Pereira calls Jones (28-1 MMA, 22-1 UFC) with a victory of UFC 313, after “Poatan” recently said training with Jones would not make sense.

“Of course Pereira is talking about Jon Jones,” Bisping said at his YouTube channel. “He said a while ago, it made sense to me to want to train with Jon Jones, but it doesn’t make sense to Jon Jones anymore. OK, what does that mean?

“Well, I’m just saying I’m the biggest fan of Tom Aspinall and he’s a personal friend, but if I’m empty aspinall, I’m starting to – not get worried, because it’s just not in his nature. But if Pereira had to win over the weekend, do it on his signature fashion and get another highlight roller and then on the microphone to call Jon Jones, the whole world loses his mind, right? “

Jones himself said he would rather face Pereira next over preliminary Master Aspinall (15-3 MMA, 8-1 UFC), who has grown impatient and is waiting for his title association match.

“I think the struggle to do in the heavyweight department is obviously without a shadow of doubt, without a question, it does not need any conversation, it is empty aspinall vs. Jon Jones for the undisputed versus meanwhile, ”Bisping said.

“That’s the fight that needs to happen. I’m just saying with a bit of fanfare from Alex Pereira and a will from Jon Jones, it could just happen. Am I crazy? Am I out of my mind? If anyone could make the fight happen, it’s Alex Pereira. “
