“Tom is huge. Tom is 260+ pounds of muscle, and he's tall... That isn't the issue with Jon... Matter of fact, Pereira just walking around weighs more than Jon when he trains for a fight. Jon at heavyweight, two different times now, has weighed 236 pounds. Pereira, according to his own Instagram right this second, weighs 244 pounds. It would just change that one reservation that Dana had [the weight difference between Aspinall and Pereira].If you're gonna put that fight together, what do you do with Tom? It would seem that if you had Jon Jones back, Jon Jones vs. Tom Aspinall would be the fight [to make]. It would seem that if Pereira moved to heavyweight, a champ vs. champ and not champ vs. former champ or contender [would make sense].”

“Well, jeez. Pereira is so big. I do think size matters at a certain point. Chimaev would be a problem in certain positions, but ultimately Pereira’s size, even if he went down once or twice, that’s a big man to drag to the canvas for 25 straight minutes... What they weigh right now, Pereira would beat him-shared his opinion on Khamzat vs. Pereira”
