Tom Aspinall Claims Jon Jones vs. Alex Pereira Off Table After UFC 313

Following Alex Pereira's loss to Magomed Ankalaev at UFC 313, Tom Aspinall believes the potential superfight between Jon Jones and Pereira is no longer viable, clearing the path for a possible title unification bout between himself and Jones. Aspinall, the interim heavyweight champion, has long sought a fight with Jones and sees this outcome as beneficial for his own title aspirations. UFC CEO Dana White has indicated that Jones is interested in competing, and there is growing confidence that a fight between Jones and Aspinall could be scheduled this summer. Aspinall has urged Jones to sign the contract for their matchup, emphasizing that he is ready to move on if Jones declines. The situation remains fluid as details on the fight's timing and location are being finalized. Aspinall's determination reflects his readiness to claim the undisputed heavyweight title after a successful interim reign.
