The stone emoji represents his nickname &ldquo;Poatan&rdquo; which means stone hand in Tupi language. The bone emoji obviously references Jon Jones and his &lsquo;Bones&rsquo; nickname throughout his legendary career. The house emoji suggests he plans to make himself at home in the heavyweight division soon.<\/p><p>Pereira&rsquo;s message wasn&rsquo;t subtle whatsoever about who he wants to fight next at heavyweight. He&rsquo;s been calling for a superfight with Jon Jones ever since beating Magomed Ankalaev at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ufc.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>UFC<\/a> 320. Jones vacated the heavyweight title earlier this year, opening the door for Aspinall to claim undisputed status. But Jones remains the consensus greatest fighter of all time despite retiring from active competition. A fight between Pereira and Jones would break pay-per-view records and generate massive mainstream interest.&nbsp;<\/p><p>The no contest at UFC 321 leaves the heavyweight division in awkward limbo. Aspinall and Gane will almost certainly run back their fight, but that rematch won&rsquo;t happen until early 2026 at the absolute earliest. The division essentially sits frozen while waiting for a conclusion that should have happened Saturday. Pereira has already captured titles at middleweight and light heavyweight during his remarkable UFC run. Adding a third championship would cement his legacy as one of the greatest ever.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p><p><strong>(Image Credit: Stephen R.
