Interim UFC heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall could be passed over again in facing heavyweight king Jon Jones, says former UFC champion Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson. The stoic knockout machine ‘Poatan’ Alex Pereira is the right fight according to him.

Jon Jones vs. Alex Pereira

The UK-born Tom Aspinall won the UFC heavyweight interim title and has defended it since Jon Jones became champion. ‘Bones’ Jones is an all-time great in MMA due to his run at light heavyweight but vacated this title and moved to the heavyweight division. Since capturing gold, he decided to defend the title against the aged Stipe Miocic rather than Aspinall.
