UFC fans get their answer on this highly-anticipated super fight.
UFC CEO Dana White is dead set in his stance on a UFC super fight between light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira, and heavyweight champion Jon Jones.Jones has been on the shelf since November 2023 with a pectoral tear that forced his withdrawal from his fight with Stipe Miocic at UFC 295. During Jones' absence, more allure has been brought to potential showdowns with Alex Pereira or Tom Aspinall, especially given their immense rise to fame in such a short time.
White's comments could be interpreted in two ways: Either the UFC is preparing a heavyweight clash between Jones and Aspinall, or Jones is still fighting Miocic later this year. Regardless of what's on the cards, Jones has hinted at potential retirement plans.Jones replied It seems that regardless of Jones' plans, fight fans will always have that 'What-If' fight, whether it's Aspinall or Pereira, or both.PFL 8 2024 Playoffs Fight Card Preview: Impa Kasanganay vs. Josh Silveira 2Mathew is a UK-based combat sports journalist and graphic designer.
