Alex Pereira fuels future heavyweight move in chilling social media post: “One of my favorite moments”

Alex Pereira vs. Tom Aspinall fight talks resurface

In a recent Instagram post, Pereira re-shared the viral photo of Aspinall staring him down at UFC 300.

“This is one my favorite moments before a fight,” Pereira posted Tuesday.

It didn’t take long for Aspinall to acknowledge Pereira’s post.

Aspinall will likely face the Jon Jones vs. Stipe Miocic winner after UFC 309 next month. But, it’s uncertain if the winner will stick around for a clash with Aspinall, as both fighters have hinted at retirement.

If that’s the case, Aspinall vs. Pereira could make sense for the lineal UFC heavyweight championship. Aspinall defended the interim belt by finishing Curtis Blaydes at UFC 304.

There seems to be mutual respect between Pereira and Aspinall ahead of their potential super fight. Aspinall praised Pereira’s light heavyweight run in numerous interviews and even confirmed his interest in making the fight happen.

2025 could be an eventful year for the heavyweight division, regardless of how UFC 309 plays out. Pereira and Aspinall could potentially be on a collision course.
