Tom Aspinall names Alex Pereira among his top MMA fighters to watch
Alex Pereira made his UFC debut in 2021 against Andreas Michailidis. Over the last three years, he has become a two-division champion and became one of the biggest stars in the promotion.
‘Poatan’ successfully defended his light heavyweight title thrice this year. With this impressive run, he cemented himself as a strong contender for Fighter of the Year.
It seems Tom Aspinall is also a fan of the Brazilian fighter. In a video uploaded to the interim heavyweight champion’s social media account, one fan asked Aspinall to name his favorite fighter to watch. The 31-year-old responded by saying:
"I mean, there's a lot. I'm a big MMA fan, obviously, as well as a fighter. I think Alex Pereira was one of my favorites just because he's so exciting, like, he brings the heat a lot of the time. Big Ilia Topuria fan. Big Alex Volkanovski fan. But yeah, I think probably them three are the three guys I like watching the most at the moment. Oh, of course Islam Makhachev as well. I absolutely love his style."
He continued:
"But to be honest, I watch any MMA, really. So, I'm a fan of everybody, but those are probably the top three or four guys I'm interested in watching."
