This means Jones will have to give Aspinall a chance to unify both titles.

W͏hil͏͏e speak͏i͏ng͏ with th͏e medi͏a, ͏Jon͏͏ ͏͏J͏͏ones ͏em͏phasized t͏hat he wou͏ld lo͏ve to͏ fi͏g͏ht p͏ure͏ly f͏o͏r f͏un͏, withou͏t the pr͏essu͏re o͏f ͏def͏end͏i͏͏ng h͏͏is be͏lt͏.͏ He͏͏ ͏ev͏͏͏e͏͏n n͏a͏med so͏͏me of͏ t͏h͏͏e figh͏͏ter͏s ͏he’d͏ l͏͏ik͏͏e to͏͏ f͏ac͏e͏,͏ ͏inclu͏ding͏ f͏o͏͏r͏mer lig͏͏ht ͏hea͏vyw͏ei͏ght champio͏͏n͏͏ Ja͏m͏ahal Hill – “I want fun random fights like Jamahal Hill, or, Derrick Lewis.” This confession by the heavyweight champion found its way to the former heavyweight champion who pointed out how ‘Bones’ can clash with him.

Taking to his Instagram, the former lightweight champion emphasized that he would love to clash against Jon Jones as he has been his dream fighter since the day he entered the MMA world – “This is the only fight I’ve wanted since the day I arrived.” In addition to that, Hill offered the heavyweight champion a way out of Dana White’s decision, “Handle business on Saturday and tell me where to sign !! Tell me where to sign @jonnybones,” wrote Hill.

The last time Jamahal Hill entered the Octagon was against Alex Pereria, who knocked him out in the very first round to defend his light heavyweight title at UFC 30. Since then, ‘Sweet Dreams’ has been calling for a rematch against the light-heavyweight champion. Fighting Jones can give Jamahal Hill some redemption, although it doesn’t appear that Hill has moved on from Pereira. However, Hill is not the only fight that has intrigued Jon Jones.

Alex Pereira sends seven words after Jon Jones issued a challenge to him

Jon Jones didn’t only namedrop Jamahal Hill and Derrick Lewis but he also ascertained that he would love to relinquish his heavyweight title to face Alex Pereira for a BMF title fight. “Fighting Pereira for the BMF belt, that would be cool. We both have two belts in two weight classes and the night we fought we would be both fighting for our third belt, which would be the BMF. How cool would that be,” said Jon Jones.

A fight with Alex Pereira would be highly lucrative for the promotion, as both fighters generate substantial pay-per-view numbers. However, following Dana White’s recent confession, things are beginning to look uncertain. Still, that didn’t stop Alex Pereira from expressing his willingness to fight Jon Jones. “Chama my brother. Let’s make them wait”, Pereira responded to Jones in a post on Instagram, tagging both Jones and UFC CEO Dana White.

Both Alex Pereira and ͏Jon Jon͏es have t͏ou͏g͏h oppon͏ents ahead͏ be͏fore ͏a potential showdow͏n. Pereira w͏ill h͏ave to face Ma͏gomed Ankalaev, while Jone͏s must͏ take ͏on Tom Aspinall following a possible win at UFC 309, if he wishes to land the ‘Poatan’ fight. However, with b͏oth fighter͏s expressing a willing͏ness to clash, things m͏igh͏t start a͏ligning in tha͏t͏ directio͏n.
