Jon Jones, who is widely regarded as MMA<\/a>‘s greatest fighter, shocked the world in 2023 by winning the heavyweight title against Ciryl Gane via submission, only to relinquish it shortly after amid disputes over a superfight with interim champ (of that time) Tom Aspinall. Opting for retirement, Jones took a lavish vacation, stubbornly holding onto the belt while dismissing Aspinall as an “up-and-coming” talent lacking experience. He instead expressed eagerness to face Brazilian legend Alex Pereira, praising his household name status over the unproven Brit. <\/p>

However, Jones’ hiatus was brief, as he swiftly rejoined the UFC’s drug-testing pool, fueled by the allure of headlining the historic 2026 White House card for America’s 250th anniversary. Despite Dana White’s skepticism over his past controversies, Jones is now pleading for a shot against Pereira at the White House, which could be one of the greatest fights we’ll ever witness, if it happens. <\/p>

Jon Jones Makes His Case to Face Alex Pereira at the White House in 2026<\/h2>

Jon Jones was recently interviewed on noscripts.podcast<\/em>, and he expressed why he wants to face Alex Pereira at White House in 2026. Jones said, expressing his desire to face Poatan, “I’d like to fight Alex Pereira at the White House. I feel like he’s incredibly respectful. I feel like he’s a household name in America and in MMA. Everybody knows who he is. He’s a champion. He’s in the conversation of being one of the greatest fighters of all time. It would be a blockbuster event. I think the whole world would come out.”<\/em><\/strong><\/p>

Jones talked about beating many Brazilians over the course of his career, going a perfect 5-0, trying to push his streak to 6. “I’ve beaten many Brazilians over the course of my life. Either way that fight were to go, no one loses in that fight. It generates so many million for the sport. There’s just no losing.”<\/em><\/strong><\/p>
