After UFC CEO Dana White told MMA Junkie on Saturday that he's "very confident" the Jon Jones vs. Tom Aspinall heavyweight title unifier happens this summer, the interim champ has provided more reason for excitement.

With Alex Pereira losing his title at UFC 313, there goes any chance of a fight with Jon Jones – according to Dana White.

Prior to last night’s UFC 313 main event, the consensus was that Alex Pereira would have wiped out his division with a win. There has always been appetite for ‘Poatan’ to move up and challenge for gold at heavyweight, particularly once the division has been unified.
