Sonnen: "I'm sure the UFC is thinking about a Pereira and Aspinall fight"

American mixed martial arts veteran, expert and commentator Chel Sonnen believes that the UFC management should organize a fight between the promotion's bantamweight champion Alex Pereira and the titleholder of the division above Tom Aspinall.

"I've always insisted (and this is just a rumor) that Pereira should have a fight against Tom Aspinall for the interim heavyweight title. I even have an idea of where that fight would be - at a tournament in California in January.

I also know that Pereira's hand won't recover by December, but will be fine in January. So we need to take out Ancalaev and put in Aspinall. I'm sure the UFC is thinking about an Alex and Tom fight," Sonnen said on his YouTube channel.
