A potential super fight between Jon Jones and Alex Pereira is now “off the table” after the latter’s loss at UFC 313, according to current interim heavyweight kingpin, Tom Aspinall — who remains even more confident of facing the Rochester native this summer.
Headlining the promotion’s flagship return to Las Vegas overnight, Pereira saw his dominant run as light heavyweight kingpin halted by the surging Russian contender, Magomed Ankalaev in an argued decision loss.
Dropping a contentious unanimous decision (48-47, 48-47, 49-46) loss to the Makhackala native, Pereira voiced his disagreement with the result, suggesting he was merely grappled and wrestler.
