Tom Aspinall, the current interim heavyweight champion, is gearing up for his upcoming fight in the co-main event of UFC 304 in Manchester. He has shown keen interest in the prospect of fighting light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira, expressing his eagerness to step into the ring with the Brazilian contender.
Aspinall is all set to defend his interim title against Curtis Blaydes at the upcoming UFC 304 event. He won the interim heavyweight title in a remarkable knockout victory against Sergei Pavlovich last year.
While Aspinall is focused on his imminent clash with Blaydes, he has not turned a blind eye to the possibility of a future showdown with Pereira. The heavyweight champ has praised Pereira’s achievements and has made it clear that he is looking forward to a potential bout with him down the line.
During an interview with talkSPORT’s Jordan Ellis, Aspinall expressed his sentiments, saying, “I really, really respect what he’s done. Does that mean that I don’t wanna fight him? I absolutely wanna fight him.” However, at present, Aspinall’s primary focus remains on his upcoming challenge against Blaydes.
As fans speculate on the outcome of a potential matchup between Tom Aspinall and Alex Pereira in the heavyweight division, the excitement continues to grow as both fighters showcase their skills and determination in the octagon.
