Chael Sonnen expects Alex Pereira vs Tom Aspinall conversations to start soon
Chael Sonen believes that conversations around a collision between Alex Pereira and Tom Aspinall are inevitable if Magomed Ankalaev de Sao Paulo striker of his 205-pound throne can illuminate.
The formidable waste constant is determined that people reject how Pereira left the weight class of 185 pounds.
In a video that was uploaded to his YouTube channel, “The American Gangster” said: “Many of you forgot how Pereira became a slightly heavyweight. I even hear commentators, say it; They believe that Pereira has cleaned up the middleweight division and was so large that he went to light weight. They are wrong.
“Pereira lost on middleweight. He was no longer the champion. The most likely and easiest way to get Pereira to heavyweight is not that he beats Ankalaev and has nothing to do and cleans up the division; Your most likely way is that Ankalaev beat him.
“As frustrated as you may be with Jon Jones at the moment, Jon Aspinall will not bypass to fight Pereira. Jon has a code, and Jon Will, when he fights, fights the best man.
“But there is a chance that if both boys are in the same weight class, Jon says: 'You two will find out who is the best man, bring me the winner. Pereira, you and Aspinall, will do that thing for the interim title, and let me know who the winner is'.
“The Aspinall and Pereira interview is not only likely, it is very likely soon.”
