Amid fan fervour, UFC CEO, Dana White has revealed a potential super fight between Octagon champions, Jon Jones and Alex Pereira is a real “possibility” – with veteran color-commentator, Joe Rogan pushing the former to book the pairing.
Jones, the current heavyweight champion and a former two-time light heavyweight gold holder, has been sidelined for over 500 days, and is expected to make his return at the end of this year after he deals with two misdeameanor charges in relation to a March incident with a drug testing agent.
All but booked to take on former two-time heavyweight gold holder, Stipe Miocic in his return at UFC 309 in November at Madison Square Garden, Jones’ most recent win came in the form of a first round guillotine choke submission win over Ciryl Gane in March of last year.
