Rumored Tom Aspinall vs Alex Pereira for UFC 300 main event? *MERGED*

[Doughie99]

Why is a LHW champ with 0 defenses fighting a HW champ with 0 defenses?

Cos....Dana gonna Dana.

 

[Paulsp]

It can and it will, buddeh.

Poatan bless.

Yeah I don’t understand why people keep saying shit like that as if there is a rule or law against it

They literally made up a fake bmf belt lol

forgot about it

Then brought it back when they needed

People coming off two consecutive losses have gotten title shots (Yoel, holly, Edgar)

But for some reason an intern can’t headline ufc 300

Pereira is the GOAT no one saw coming

 

[FrappeDuRocma]

Pereira is not big enough...

 

[ipowerslapmywife]

Dana wants Alex to win to set up Alex/Jones, he knows jones will continue ti fight if it’s a fighter he can wrestle fuck

 

[Doughie99]

That’s an absurd matchup, and Aspinall ought to be heavily favored. Alex is a fantastic striker but he’s getting mauled if it hits the floor. The only thing that makes this semi-interesting is that Aspinall won’t enjoy a speed advantage on the feet and he’s used to having a pronounced one in his other fights. Regardless, I don’t think Alex has trained long enough to overcome the ground discrepancy here. Aspinall is legit on the ground.

Basically....what @Private Whatley said.

Tom wins by sub i'd say. I can't see him wanting to stand and trade, that'd be dumb.
Short fight, over in 2mins, Aspinall via arm bar or any choke.

I thought Alex said recently that he WON'T go to HW for now ? If this fight happens, Tom will double leg Alex and submit him in rnd 1.

It’s a fight fans fight but not a casual fans fight. The card already has some great fights so it’s worth watching but I like this one.

 

[Edward Henry Greb]

Do you think this fight will indeed end-up headlining UFC 300?

I hope not.

 

[Kryptt]

Weird but not like I won't watch.

 

[RockyLockridge]

UFC 300 feels like a Lego set with missing pieces.

it's more like a star wars lego set mixed with a harry potter lego set and we're about to watch vader vs voldemort or some completely weird shit no one asked for.

 

[Captain Herb]

That would be absolute desperation

 

[OldBoy91]

Since the event is full of throwaway fights that do nothing for either fighter, Besides Weili vs Yan, then this is the perfect headliner.

It's even more absurd and meaningless than the rest of the card, so it's only right it goes on last.

 

[Chael_Sonnen]

WTF Dana. Seriously??? I hate this matchup as a Pereira fan.

 

[Aurelian]

I don't want this. Tom would sub Alex within a round. Would much rather Alex fight a LHW even if it's someone like Rountree.

UFC 300 feels like a Lego set with missing pieces.
