Alex Pereira reveals that he won't train with Jon Jones anytime soon
Alex Pereira has previously expressed interest in working with UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones, mainly when the Brazilian was fighting at middleweight. However, 'Poatan' recently claimed that he won’t be training with 'Bones' anytime soon.
Pereira and Jones could cross paths in the future, as both UFC champions have expressed interest in fighting each other. As such, 'Poatan' thinks that perhaps training with 'Bones' isn’t a good idea at the moment, but he could work with the American in the future, after their potential superfight has concluded.
He told Bloddy Elbow:
“To be honest, I don’t think that makes as much sense any more. Back when I said that I would like to fight at heavyweight, people already put the dots together and basically mentioned Jon Jones. That’s something that is speculated, even if it’s just by the fans."
He added:
"So I wouldn’t want to go and train with him now, and then if we end up fighting, people will start saying a bunch of stuff about whatever in the fight. So I think it wouldn’t make sense now, but if we were to fight one day and then go train, I think it would make total sense."
