A possible tremendous combat between Jon Jones and Alex Pereira is now “off the table” after the latter’s loss at UFC 313, based on present interim heavyweight kingpin, Tom Aspinall — who stays much more assured of dealing with the Rochester native this summer time.
Headlining the promotion’s flagship return to Las Vegas in a single day, Pereira noticed his dominant run as mild heavyweight kingpin halted by the surging Russian contender, Magomed Ankalaev in an argued resolution loss.
Dropping a contentious unanimous resolution (48-47, 48-47, 49-46) loss to the Makhackala native, Pereira voiced his disagreement with the end result, suggesting he was merely grappled and wrestler. And pointed to his eleven takedown defenses, in addition to a perceived lack of harm dished out towards him.
“Putting me up against the cage, he (Magomed Ankalaev) didn’t really do anything. “Pereira told Joe Rogan during his post-fight interview through an interpreter. “Giving him the win with a gameplan like that, it incentivizes people to do that.”
And “probably” set to combat Ankalaev in a right away rematch subsequent based on promotional boss, Dana White, Pereira’s future in an excellent combat at heavyweight is “off the table” for those who ask unification hopeful, Aspinall.
