Alex Pereira shares his thoughts on the P4P ranking changes following UFC 309
Alex Pereira recently shared his thoughts on the pound-for-pound rankings update following UFC 309. Jon Jones, the reigning heavyweight champion, rose to No. 2 after a dominant third-round KO victory over Stipe Miocic on Nov. 16.
This shift pushed Pereira to No. 3, while lightweight champion Islam Makhachev retained the top spot.
Pereira took to Instagram to comment on the rankings, suggesting that Jones deserves the No. 1 spot. He captioned a screenshot of the updated list:
“With this change, I would be already happy.”
Both Pereira and Jones are UFC icons with stellar careers. Pereira has solidified his dominance in the light heavyweight division, while Jones continues to enhance his legacy as a two-division champion.
Speculation about a potential super fight between the two has intensified in recent months, with both expressing interest in facing off. Before UFC 309, Jones hinted at favoring a showdown with Pereira over interim heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall, even suggesting he might relinquish his heavyweight belt for the opportunity.
