UFC President Dana White addressed the potential matchup between heavyweight champion Jon Jones and light heavyweight titleholder Alex Pereira.
White stated at ಌthe press con🧜ference following UFC 309:
No, you know what tonight told me. That there’s no f****** way I would make the [Jon Jones] versus Alex Pere๊ira fight… Jon’s too big, a great wrestler – did you see how he took Stipe down in𝓰 that first round?
Jones last fought against Stipe Miocic on November 17 at UFC 309 in New York. In that match, which was stopped in the third round, Jones won by technical knockout, successfully retaining his UFC heavyweight championship. His record stands at 28 wins and one loss, with another fight class🌱ified as a no contest.
Pereira's most recent 🐎fight took place against Khalil Rountreไe in October at UFC 307. This bout, which ended in the fourth round, also concluded with Pereira winning by technical knockout, allowing him to defend his UFC light heavyweight title. His record boasts 12 wins and two losses.
