Aspinall: "I want to fight Pereira."

Dmitriy Kel July 4, 2024, 2:22 a.m.

UFC interim heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall said he is open to a fight with light heavyweight division titleholder Alex Pereira.

"I'm not avoiding fights with anyone. If the UFC wants to see us fight ... There's no denying that Pereira has been doing amazing things in recent years. Three years ago he was a nobody and now he's one of the top stars in MMA. I have a lot of respect for him and what he's accomplished.

Of course I want to fight him. I'm sure it could happen one day. I'm not saying that moment is now though. I'm ready to give my consent if the UFC is interested," - quotes Aspinall talkSPORT.
