Former UFC Champion says Jon Jones vs. Alex Pereira is the Right Fight, not Tom Aspinall

Interim UFC heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall could be passed over again in facing heavyweight king Jon Jones, says former UFC champion Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson. The stoic knockout machine ‘Poatan’ Alex Pereira is the right fight according to him.

Jon Jones vs. Alex Pereira

The UK-born Tom Aspinall won the UFC heavyweight interim title and has defended it since Jon Jones became champion. ‘Bones’ Jones is an all-time great in MMA due to his run at light heavyweight but vacated this title and moved to the heavyweight division. Since capturing gold, he decided to defend the title against the aged Stipe Miocic rather than Aspinall.

Jon Jones

If it were up to Quinton ‘Rampage‘ Jackson, Jon Jones would next meet the dangerous knockout artist Alex Pereira, of Brazil. For prize fighters, according to Jackson, it’s all about the money. He explained his reasoning in an interview with Ariel Helwani. On Jon Jones, he said:

If I were Jon, I’d go for Pereira. It’s a bigger fight, more buzz, and potentially a bigger payday. Aspinall is a great fighter, but he doesn’t have the same kind of attention or the hype that Pereira does right now. I know Dana’s trying to push the fresh matchups and get the younger guys in, but let’s be real—Jon knows how to handle business. He can fight anyone, but Pereira is the one everyone wants to see.

“If I were Jon, I’d definitely fight Pereira, not Aspinall. Jon’s been fighting for a long time, and I’m sure he can handle himself, but we know Pereira is that good. He’s definitely one of the more dangerous guys. If you’re gonna fight someone dangerous, make the most money with it.

Fans have been long waiting for a heavyweight title unification bout between Jones and Aspinall. ‘Rampage’ Jackson says that they may have to wait a little longer.

The UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones was proudly showing off his weight training on Instagram when former champion Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson mocked him stating that he’s seen MMA icon Chuck Liddell lift heavier.

Rampage Jackso Mocks Jon Jones

Bones‘ Jon Jones is an all-time great in MMA with his legendary run in the light heavyweight division. Since becoming champion in 2011, Jones has defeated notable fighters such as Rashad Evans, Mauricio ‘Shogun’ Rua, Daniel Cormier, Vitor Belfort, Lyoto Machida, and Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson, among many others. Eventually, he vacated his light heavyweight throne, and ‘Bones’ moved up to heavyweight where he earned UFC gold.

Now on social media, Jon Jones often shows off his new heavyweight physique. He said:

“240 pounds, fast and strong. I used to walk around at 235lbs as a light heavyweight. This almost feels like a light heavyweight fight without the weight cut.”

Former UFC champion Quinton ‘Rampage‘ Jackson remarked:

“I’ve seen Chuck lift more”

Chuck Liddell recently said, in an interview with Jackson, that in his prime he would have been able to defeat the all-time great Jon Jones. ‘The Iceman’ was a key figure in helping transition the sport from underground to mainstream. The knockout striker was celebrated for his notable wins over Randy Couture and Tito Ortiz. On facing Jon Jones, Liddell said:

“That’s why I always said I would’ve been a bad matchup for [Jones] cause I’m probably one of the few guys where he would have a hard time dictating where I fought him. You know, I would’ve fought him. He would’ve had to fight me standing up, he couldn’t outwrestle me. He couldn’t take me down…He wouldn’t have been able to take me down. He would’ve had to strike with me.”

Lists are always going to create discussion in regards to which options should or shouldn’t have made it onto the final version. This is no different with ESPN’s Top 10 men’s MMA fighters of the 21st century list.

Unsurprisingly, the current UFC heavyweight champion and consensus greatest of all time, Jon Jones, takes the top spot with the usual cast following behind him. Welterweight great Georges St-Pierre is the runner-up with the long-time champion of the weight class above him, Anderson Silva, rounding out the top three.

Dominant champions Demetrious Johnson and Khabib Nurmagomedov make up the top five whilst Fedor Emelianenko, Randy Couture, Chuck Liddell, BJ Penn and Kamaru Usman complete the full list.

On a recent episode of the Jaxxon Podcast, two men who are in a great position to debate the list did just that as Quinton “Rampage” Jackson and Liddell spoke about who could have earned a spot that ultimately didn’t.

Jackson, perhaps controversially, said that he isn’t sure whether the number five pick had enough fights at the highest level to be considered, especially when someone like Matt Hughes didn’t make the cut.

“Nothing against Khabib, I just don’t think he fought enough fights. To be on there and to not have Matt Hughes on there, you know what I’m saying cus he was champion for a long time.”

Liddell, who did make the cut, responded by agreeing with his former opponent’s take that Hughes deserves a mention. He also named one other great champion that would have undoubtedly been in contention, even if some of his best work was done before he arrived in the UFC.

“If you look at the strength of opponents, you know. There’s some other guys in there, José Aldo. A beast man, for years. Those lists are lists man and all those guys are quality guys. It’s tough really.”

A video posted on social media showed of a recent confrontation between a streamer named Ac7ionman and the CEO of F3 Energy, Harrison Rogers, that went viral.

What starts as some kind of dispute over a contract and potential legal case escalates when Ac7ionman repeatedly makes fun of Rogers and claims that he’s going to sue him for putting his hands on him, with video evidence.

Things immediately take a turn once, of all people, Quinton “Rampage” Jackson exits the bathroom to see what all the fuss is about.

Ac7ionman then leaves the room double quick whilst Jackson attempts to understand what just happened.

“Who was that? I’m trying to take the hardest s*** of my life, I hear some m*********** come on, look at me, I’m sweating my a** off.”

The streamer then returns to the room, continuing to shout and scream about the lawsuit that he’s going to file, only for ‘Rampage’ to walk towards him, usher him back out of the room and close the door on him after getting a few insults of his own in.

“God damn, dude’s annoying as f***”

Fans React After ‘Rampage’ Jackson Puts A Swift End To Viral Beef With His Presence

The combat sports world has had an interesting relationship with streamers and the way that they conduct themselves.

On this occasion, the fans on social media were happy to see how suddenly, this somewhat awkward and cringe-inducing exchange was ended by the emergence of ‘Rampage’, who was able to escort Ac7ionman out of the way without doing anything.

“Legalize beating the shit outta live streamers”

“Dude didn’t wanna get slammed.”

“Bro was scared for his life”

“Rampage baby!! That man left quick AF”

“Bro RAN once he saw Rampage”

“Bro had his chest puffed out until Rampage showed up and then he turned into a little b**** LMFAOOO”

“Not his screams fading in the distance”
