Alex Pereira Eyes Superfight vs. Jon Jones at Heavyweight; Dana White Responds

This was the same fight Jones was calling for before Alex lost the belt. Alex got the aura back so now it's back on.
 
UFC buries their HW title, denies the HW champion his two biggest possible fights, and stops Alex from getting a HW title shot- for Jones, at the White House.

Wild stuff.

Didn't have that on my 2020 bingo card.
 
The best thing here is UFC doesn't have to put the LHW title on the line. Even if Alex loses, he'll still be LHW champion. They can just make Jiri vs Ulberg for an Interim Title to keep things going.
 
He should be chasing the winner of Aspinall/Gane. A washed up Jones is a dud fight. We want him against a prime, talented HW like either of those two. That's what should be headlining the WH card.
Jones takes down and subs Poatan easily. It won't even be competitive. The real issue is if we can trust Jon to actually show up.

Probably not even a bad outcome. Alex can fight again a month later.
 
Even Pereira knows that most fans couldn’t care less about Aspinall…

That being said, I don’t see him offering much resistance against Jones…

If that fight even happens…
 
Imagine calling for a moment's silence over a man you don't know (maybe they briefly met), in front of an audience for a sport that had absolutely nothing to do with that man, and then immediately reveal your real agenda of trying to get fight with that man's brother in order to make money.

And then even have retards everywhere praise you for it.

He probably convinced himself it was a 'classy' act. In reality it was completely cynical, manipulative, self-serving behavior.
 
When you have two legends that will both be 39 years old when the white house event happens, you gotta go all out as if it was their last fight.

Hey grandpa, you should have that dementia checked up. It's not the ufc that stops Pereira from getting the HW title shot. It's Pereira asking for the Jon Jones fight in the White House.

How the tables turn.

Jon is now Alex's Stipe.
 
Nah, definitely got to Ulberg vs Poatan next, marketable as fuck fight - both exciting strikers, and the Izzy angle as well.
 
If Pereira challenged the HW champ, then lost, he could still fight Jones.

If he challenges and loses to Jones, he's not fighting the HW champ next
