Alex Pereira wants a super fight with Jon Jones
In 2024, after successfully defending his strap against Stipe Miocic, Jon Jones made it known he wanted a fight with UFC light heavyweight kingpin Alex Pereira.
However, UFC CEO Dana White claimed that Jones vs. Tom Aspinall will happen potentially in 2025, after which 'Bones' can fight any other fighter of his choice.
Meanwhile, Pereira who is scheduled to lock horns with Magomed Ankalaev at UFC 313, recently expressed his desire to fight 'Bones,' stating:
"I want Jon Jones, it's up to the UFC to make it happen!”
