But this hasn’t stop others UFC fighters from dropping hints. Alex Pereira and Tom Aspinall teased a heavyweight fight between them, through their social media accounts.

Pereira recently shared a cryptic story with a guessing emoji on his Instagram story. It is speculated that the story might signal towards his 30th bout which might take place at UFC 300. The story read, “30 + 300 = 3”. The number 3 is speculated to signal his ambition to become a three weight division UFC champion. Nothing has been officially confirmed yet. But there’s another angle and the entity that quite well connects with Pereira’s recent move.

Just after ‘Poatan’ shared the coded story, the interim heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall took it step further. He shared a picture of him with Alex Pereira from the UFC 295 press conference on his Instagram story. This, however, hinted at something brewing up between these two fighters.
