Alex Pereira on facing Tom Aspinall

Alex Pereira has already moved up one weight class in the UFC, and many now wonder if he'll move up one further to heavyweight.

During a recent interview with TheMacLife, 'Poatan' was quizzed on whether he'd be willing to take on newly minted interim heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall at UFC 300.

However, the Brazilian believes that although he is willing to fight anybody, a move up to heavyweight would require meticulous planning and is not something he'll dive in head first with reckless abandon.

"I'll fight anybody. I have the height and basically the size of a heavyweight, but this is something that has got to be programmed [and] put some work on. It's not something that I just jump in on an adventure like that. I want to make things the right way."
