“If Jones beats Aspinall, everyone will want him to fight Pereira” – Oleynik
Former UFC fighter Alexei Oleynik believes that if American Jon Jones wins over Briton Tom Aspinall, fans will want his fight with Brazilian Alex Pereira.
On Sunday, Jones, 37, defeated Stipe Miocic by TKO in the third round to retain his heavyweight title. For Jones, this victory was the 28th in his career.
— To be honest, I’m not very interested in either Tom Aspinall or Alex Pereira as Jon Jones’ opponents. If Jones beats Aspinall, everyone will want him to fight Pereira. If he wins too, in a couple of years a new cool contender for the championship title will appear. It is impossible to win against everyone.
Sooner or later, Jones will either retire or lose. This is the natural state of affairs. Of the two guys, Aspinall is the more interesting because he’s a natural heavy and a millennial. He is a slightly modern and unconventional fighter, and at the same time very fast,” Vprognoze.ru quotes Oleinik as saying.
