UFC Insider Hints About Alex Pereira vs. Tom Aspinall super fight scheduled for January PP

For many fight fans, a showdown between Alex Pereira and Tom Aspinall once seemed like a dream. Now, however, a UFC expert has fueled speculation about a possible superfight between the two champions.

Pereira has expressed interest in fighting for the heavyweight title, while Aspinall awaits his chance to unify his interim belt. The consensus among fans and analysts is that current heavyweight champion Jon Jones will retire – win or lose – after UFC 309, potentially leaving the throne vacant. But if he doesn’t, the UFC will look for the biggest fight possible for his eventual farewell.

Now former fighter and expert Chael Sonnen has hinted that Pereira and Aspinall could challenge for the interim title in 2025. The winner would challenge Jones for undisputed status.

“I have always believed in it – and this is nothing more than a rumor, and I back this up with a little bit of evidence – but I have always maintained that Pereira’s next fight will be against Aspinall (for the interim heavyweight title),” Sonnen revealed as part of his performance on November 7 op Good guy/bad guy.

“I even think I know when it will be. I believe it will be mid-January in California (UFC 311).”

UFC 311 is scheduled for January 18 at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles, California. The main event has not yet been confirmed, but rumors suggest a lightweight title rematch between Islam Makhachev and Arman Tsarukyan.

Six fights have been confirmed for UFC 311 so far, including the expected returns of rising prospects Payton Talbott and Rinya Nakamura. Talbott last appeared on the ill-fated UFC 303 card, intended for Conor McGregor’s comeback, suggesting UFC 311 is shaping up to be a high-profile event.
