Adesanya: Pereira will become champion and fights Jones

Former UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya of Nigeria suggested that after Brazilian Alex Pereira defeats Frenchman Cyril Gan for the interim UFC 120kg title, Poitan will fight American Jon Jones.

“If Alex wins, he’ll be the champion. To take that interim title. He’ll be the champion, and then he’ll have a super fight against Jon Jones. And it’ll be a huge fight. They’ll find a way to make it happen. Fighters, management, executives clash, but in the end, everything always works out”, Adesanya was quoted as saying by Bloody Elbow.
