Should the UFC make Jones vs. Pereria at HW?

[86'd]

Seeing as how neither fighter is getting any younger and Alex is expressing interest to compete at HW.

Why not just make the super fight now?

Jones is aging and the takedown may not be as readily available to him as it appears on paper.

 

[Leinster Rugby]

Because they're hell bent on putting on a fight that literally nobody wants to see.

Jones Miocic is a nothing burger but it's being forced on us.

 

[World eater]

Alex will fight 3 more times before Jon returns to wipe the floor with Stipe.

 

[potatoReloaded]

Fuck no. That would be giving Jones another "big name" guy with zero grappling skills so as to spread even more this narrative that he's a world beater. Poatan kinda also got the same treatment, but at least he's not a douche with an overinflated ego.

 

[AmericanMMA]

I want to see Jiri fight him again

 

[HCS]

Just let Jon fight Stipe and fade into obscurity. I'm ready to be done with him forever.

 

[TeenageMutantLesnarTurtle]

Would much rather Poatan vs Gane or even someone like Lewis, stylistically.

 

[FreedomCricket]

Yes. They need to fight. Jones is the goat LHW and AP has been dominant across two weight classes

 

[OldBoy91]

No.

Aspinall would beat them both so why leave him out of the equation?

 

[JBJisGOAT14]

Jones would grapple to submission in one round. Wouldn’t be pretty, levels to this game.

 

[Davidjacksonjones]

I'd love to see it
Both big names. Alex going for first ever 3 division champ.
But its a lose lose situation for Jones. If he takes that fight, he's ducking Aspinall, and people would dismiss it as beating a white belt grappler like they did with Gane.

Pereira needs a non wrestler at HW to have a chance. Even with Aspinall's size he might be able to out wrestle Pereira.
