Tom Aspinall, the UFC interim heavyweight champion, is confident that he will get to fight Alex Pereira, the bantamweight champion, in the future.
"He's a real beast and I'm a big fan of his. I love what he does and how he positions himself. He's here to fight, ready to fight anyone and he does it on short notice. You could say he and I have similar views in that sense. If he and I were to fight, I would rush at him from a low start and smash into him with all my might like a rugby player. Powerful explosion, jerk, head at body level, punch. I hope I can knock him out like that. A collision like that would definitely knock one of us out, either him or me. I hope it will be him
