Jon Jones Prefers Alex Pereira Over Aspinall Fight

At UFC 309, Jon Jones defended his heavyweight title against Stipe Miocic, marking his 16th title win and solidifying his status as one of the greatest MMA fighters. Post-fight, Jones expressed a lack of interest in facing interim champion Tom Aspinall, even going so far as to call him an 'a**hole,' and stated that he would prefer to fight light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira instead. Despite Aspinall's claims that Jones is 'losing sleep' over their potential matchup, Jones reiterated that he doesn't need the fight and is more focused on high-profile matchups. UFC President Dana White also expressed skepticism about a Jones-Pereira fight, citing concerns over size differences. Aspinall, eager for a shot at unification, continues to push for the fight, but Jones has made it clear that his priorities lie elsewhere. The heavyweight division remains in flux as fans speculate on the future of these potential matchups.
