Rumored Alex vs Gane while Tommy "recovers?" Who's in?

[oski]

That said, according to Rogan (take it for what it is):
“There’s a lot of chatter about [Pereira] fighting in the heavyweight division... even Ciryl Gane.

I don’t know how much is true — I haven’t talked to Dana about it. But it’s not an illogical move. He’s 240 pounds right now. 240-plus!

Make no mistake about it, that guy can knock out heavyweights. No doubt about it. He hits harder than anyone they’ve ever recorded,”

Joe Rogan has heard 'chatter' of shock fight for Alex Pereira's UFC return in 2026

Joe Rogan likes the sound of this plan...

Great idea, right? Sets up Jones for the White House which goofy is certainly caving to. If Gane wins though, does he get a rematch? Could anything change? Jon vs Tommy at the WH?

Weird AF, but I love it and generally hate agreeing with Rogan.

Sherpimps?

Fuck the division is a mess even worse going in to 2026

Alex vs Rico for the interim title would be cooler, fuck gane and his infinite title shots.

Rico V Gable seems perfect!

Fuck it why not lol let's also make heavyweight capped at 240 and start a super heavyweight with no cap, no cap.

That would be incredible! The wrestling supremacists would have a stroke

Gane beat the champ though

made him quit

I like it...

The winner gets Jon Jones and Tom can fight for the interim belt whenever he is finally ready to get back in the cage.

 

[gosuasus]

Any variation of Gane vs. Pereira vs. Verhoeven vs. Steveson vs. Nemkov vs. Ngannou is acceptable. We need good heavyweight scraps. If the UFC were a real company, we'd have a Pride/Strikeforce-style Grand Prix bracket by now. Paramount should step in and make it happen if Dana is resistant.

Whatever can happen faster is what i want.

 

[Ibm]

Terrible match for Poatan he stands a much better chance against TOm.

 

[Steve Fox]

Rico V Gable seems perfect!

Gable will be the HW Bo Nikal, except he isn't even in the UFC, and being Bo Nikal isn't a good thing as far as MMA goes.

Doubtful. HW is trash and their wrestling is woeful.

I didn't realize you were among the most Shertarded of Shertards.
Alex vs Gane and the winner fights Jon and then Tom gets to fight for the Interim?

So you want to create an Interim Championship for the Undisputed Champion to fight for when he next fights? And on top of that you want the UFC to book Jon when he isn't reliable enough to show up and 100% won't defend a title. Fuck it all and book Jake Paul vs the Cookie Monster for the UFC undisputed open weight title and call it a day.

That's all cool until people get punched on the ribs.

 

[Motivated BJ Penn]

Maybe if its standing only, but Tom is gonna mix it up. Cereal is gonna kickbox only

Getting punched in the ribs is the easiest thing to handle.
