Pereira, a three-time UFC champion and a fan favorite, always creates a stir when his next fight is on the horizon. This time, the rumors are centered around a potential mega-fight with none other than the legendary Jon Jones, a former champion in two weight classes. The fight could take place at the prestigious UFC White House event on June 14, sending fans into a frenzy.
Here's the intriguing part: Pereira recently returned to his old tire shop in Brazil, a place that holds a special significance for him. In a video he shared, a tire with the words 'next Jones' written on it caught the attention of eagle-eyed fans. This subtle yet powerful hint has sparked excitement and speculation across the UFC community.

Could it be Jon Jones vs. Alex Pereira? 🥊
This isn't the first time Pereira has used tires to send a message. In the past, he hinted at a fight with Ankalaev using a similar method, and it turned out to be true. But here's where it gets controversial: UFC President Dana White initially seemed reluctant to make the Jones vs. Pereira fight happen. In a Complex interview, White expressed a change of heart, saying he'd consider the fight at light heavyweight, but only if Jones could be relied upon.
"If it's at 205 pounds, that's a fight I'd be interested in," White said. "But can I trust Jon Jones to show up and not cause any issues?"
White's concerns are understandable, given Jones' past controversies. But this potential matchup is too exciting to ignore. Will we witness the highly anticipated Jones vs. Pereira showdown at the UFC White House? Only time will tell, but the anticipation is building!
