Alex Pereira shares ‘breaking news’ video of himself signing a fight contract, with fans sent into frenzy over potential Tom Aspinall UFC 304 showdown – but which clue could give it away?

Alex Pereira teased UFC fans with a huge potential announcement after sharing a video of himself signing a fight contract.

The Brazilian only fought at UFC 300 just over two weeks ago, when he brutally knocked out Jamahal Hill in the first round of their bout.

The 36-year-old has been heavily linked with a fight against UFC interim heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall, who previously claimed he was open to a showdown with Pereira in the near future.

And Pereira added fuel to the fire over a possible showdown after uploading a video of himself signing a contract – before shadowboxing and kicking at the camera.

Some fans may notice a subtle hint from the clip that suggests the man in question could be Aspinall after all.

After signing the contract, Pereira will be given a pair of ‘challenger’ shorts instead of champion shorts – indicating he will be taking on a champion in Aspinall.

The caption in Pereira’s post read: “Breaking news #UFC301.”

However, considering he only fought a few weeks ago and UFC 301 is happening this weekend, it’s highly unlikely he’ll appear on that card.

Aspinall – who was ringside for Pereira’s win over Hill – has already signed up to appear at UFC 304 in Manchester on July 26 this summer and said he was ‘waiting for my opponent to accept it’, prompting leading to speculation that a fight against Pereira could happen. the future.

“Just got back from Vegas, was there doing YouTube stuff, meetings and all that stuff,” Aspinall said on TikTok.

“I had a meeting with the UFC. It has now been confirmed that I will fight at UFC Manchester.

“So I’m back home now preparing for that, just at the start of training camp. I’m just waiting for my opponent to accept it, so stay tuned.”

Aspinall, 31, won the interim crown by knocking out No. 2 heavyweight Sergei Pavlovich in 69 seconds at UFC 295.
