Jon Jones ‘enjoying video games’ with Alex Pereira curiosity

Tom Aspinall is dismissing UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones’ public curiosity in a possible battle with Alex Pereira.

Jones (27-1 MMA, 21-1 UFC) referred to as a battle in opposition to mild heavyweight champion Pereira (10-2 MMA, 7-1 UFC) the most important in MMA historical past and went on to argue why Pereira is a way more profitable battle than interim heavyweight champ Aspinall. Jones’ return battle will come in opposition to Stipe Miocic, not a title-unifier vs. Aspinall.

Aspinall (14-3 MMA, 7-1 UFC) doesn’t see a necessity to deal with Jones except he’s going to battle him, which he thinks is very unlikely at this level.

“If we will get outdated mate Jon to ever signal a contract with my identify on the opposite facet of the contract, I’ll speak about him for hours on this present – hours,” Aspinall advised TNT Sports activities. “However proper now the man is enjoying video games once more, making an attempt to persuade the general public what he desires and what he doesn’t need.

“Which he does actually, rather well. As I stated, we will chat about Jon if and when he ever indicators a contract with my identify on the opposite facet of it as a result of proper now, let’s be trustworthy, it’s not wanting very doubtless.”

Aspinall is anticipated to defend his interim title at UFC 304 on July 27 in Manchester, however he doesn’t know in opposition to whom but.

“The final I knew, it was going to get introduced this weekend (at UFC 301), and clearly that’s been and gone now,” Aspinall stated. “I don’t know. Proper now I do not know what’s happening. I want I might come on the present, I want I might announce on social media, I want I might begin dragging site visitors that means, however proper now I do not know. I’m simply getting myself ready for that date. So far as opponents and stuff like that, I don’t know what’s happening proper now.”
