Dana White said that he thinks Ankalaev will be one of the biggest challenges for Poatan, like Jiri Prochakza or Jan Blackowski were. And that with Alex winning this fight, he'll make Alex vs Jon Jones. That was echoed by other names in the UFC too.

Jon Jones said that he would go down to LHW, Dana said tho that it can be in LHW or if Alex and JJ want, it can be HW. Jones and Alex talked about a kind of special 230 pounds limit with a BMF title on the line.

And that's more than deserved. Whether you like it or not, if Alex Pereira defeats Ankalaev, and both him and JJ want the fight, there's no stopping it, as Dana said. And I think that's right.

Tom Aspinall hasn't done nearly as much as Alex Pereira or Jon Jones. Tim Aspinall is young, and yet, ever since Jon Jones debuted in the HW, Tom has fought 3 times... Alex, in the time Tom Aspinall fought 3 times, would have fought 6x, defending his belt 4x, plus coming from an extensive weigh cut from middleweight that, as per Sean Strickland, made Alex look like death itself with how much he was torturing his body to keep that weight.

Jon Jones has had 30 fights in the UFC already, has had a war against Gustaffson... Jones' coaches said that before the 5th round of the Gus fight, they were going to throw in the towel since Jones' eyes was seriously damaging and bleeding heavily, though they said Jon Jones begged them not to stop the fight, saying that it losing the fight that way would hurt way more than winning the 5th round and defending his belt, even if he had to give his eye away.

Tom even said "Alex is likely gonna defeat Ankalaev. But after that, it will be tougher for him, he has had more than 40 fight in kickboxing against the best in the world and has committed to his training in torturous work outs and schedules to be able to compete and come this far in the UFC... And he's 37 years old, there is no way his body won't be feeling all this exhaustion"...

It's funny, Tom Aspinall himself said that... So yeah, Tom is young, and yet has fought in the same time span, as a young guy, half of what Alex has... And JJ, he has already done it all, as well. So yeah, as Dana seemed to hint it, if Pereira gets through Ankalaev, it'll be Jon Jones vs Alex Pereira. Way more deserving for a clash of legends. Aspinall is very talented, ofc, but he can't do anything if Jon Jones goes do LHW... He hasn't put in nearly the same work and bruises in huge fights as Alex and Jones have. And I think the UFC is kind of seeing it that way too, there is no stopping it in LHW or whatever if Pereira defeats Ankalaev.
 
Pretty much <JonesLaugh> Wouldn't surprise me if we get Bones vs Poatan this summer and Tom fights the Black Beast for the interim-interim belt or something^^

Alex vs Aspinall for the Undisputed Interim UFC Heavyweight Championship of the World
 
Jones needs to fight Aspinal next or just vacate the HW belt.
But that said, I like the idea of 230lb BMF fight. I like the 230, HW limit should anyway be closer to that than to 265, so that the fatsos would keep their bodies at least in some kind of shape.
 
It's interesting because almost no one asked Jon Jones pointed blank if he think he would defeat Tom. The time he was asked, right after the Stipe fight, "do you think you'd beat Tom though?", he said:

"Yes, absolutely. The night we fight, he'd be considerably heavier than me, way younger, and I'd just whip his ass. People can all believe the hype and I'd just do what I do, win in a dominant way"

In another interview, he said "beating Aspinall would be like beating Gane. I saw how many people believed it'd be the toughest match up and how they changed drastically after the fight, despite Gane being younger, heavier... I was pointing out holes in his game before the match and people in general thought it wasn't true, then after I did what I say I would do, they started saying the things I had been pointing out... I realized by then that I simply know who is the who's who and who is hype..."

And it's curious because Jon Jones, before the Gane match was announced, was actually campaigning to fight Stipe, saying it'd be a better match... Gane called him out though, saying he was the #1 contender and that Jon Jones should fight him, saying that he is complete like Jon Jones. Then Jon Jones was like ok and fought the #1 contender and made it look easy. All of a sudden, ppl even brought up conspiracy theories like Gane throwing the fight for money, or that Jon Jones wanted Gane because he knew he had little wrestling and little experience, also saying that HWs are way worse with grappling, so JJ was conveniently avoiding LHW which is way more skilled — Reyes himself said that, too...

I feel like Jon Jones wants only one more fight after Stipe, he said he wants to have other things to learn, to have other hobbies, and that it is taxing to have 2 more extensive campings... And I don't think he was lying when he said he would dominate Tom, since that was the only time someone asked that question straight away, like "who would win?"... He is more like, imo, confident he will beat Tom without much problems, while he would like to fight who he sees as the most dangerous one...

Jon’s agent, GET OFF SHERDOG!
 
Jon has been prominently featured in the build-up to tonight's card. I fully expect him to face-off with Alex if the latter wins.
