UFC President Dana White confirmed that a fight between Englishman Tom Aspinall and Brazilian Alex Pereira was planned for "UFC White House - Freedom 250".
Sports.Biz reports that the tournament will take place on June 15.
"It would be a great fight. It`s clear that it would mean a lot in the heavyweight division. If Tom was in shape, would we have seen the Aspinall-Pereyra fight? 100%. It would have been awesome, but there are things to consider. When you`re making a fight, you consider the timing and other factors like the life and health of each fighter. [If Aspinall was healthy, Pereyra`s opponent] would have been Tom", - White said in an interview with TNT Sports.
