Alex
Pereira believes Jon Jones can
get the better of Tom
Aspinall.

Jones returned to action after a three-year hiatus and made quick
work of Ciryl Gane
to win the vacant heavyweight title at UFC 285 in March 2023. He
was then scheduled to defend his throne against Stipe
Miocic at UFC 295 in November 2023 but was forced out with an
injury.

Aspinall went to beat Sergei
Pavlovich via knockout in a short-notice interim title fight on
the same card. However, Jones remained adamant on preserving his
matchup against Miocic, whom he beat via a spinning back kick
knockout at UFC 309
last month. Meanwhile, Aspinall defended the interim strap with a
knockout win over Curtis
Blaydes at UFC 304
this past July.

However, Jones made it clear that he won’t fight Aspinall in a
title unifier unless he is offered a lucrative purse. While a large
section of the MMA community accuse Jones of ducking Aspinall,
Pereira believes the former light heavyweight champion can beat
“Honey Badger.” According to “Poatan,” Jones’ massive experience
will give him an edge in a potential matchup against the Brit.

“I think Jon Jones have a lot of experience on his side,” Pereira
told TNT Sports. “Some people say ‘Aspinall this, Aspinall that,’
but it comes down to experience. Jon Jones is a seasoned guy. He’s
been there so I think he wins.”
