Jon Jones offers to vacate heavyweight title after UFC 309, meet Alex Pereira for BMF crown

Just days out from his heavyweight title return at UFC 309, Jon Jones has made the interesting offer to vacate that crown should he beat Stipe Miocic, and suggested he would then compete for a symbolic BMF championship against former two-division champion, Alex Pereira.

Jones, a former two-time undisputed light heavyweight champion, is set to return to action this weekend at Madison Square Garden, snapping a lengthy hiatus in a reworked main event fight against the returning former champion, Miocic.
