Current heavyweight champion, Jon Jones appears to have had his head turned by a potential super fight against current light heavyweight kingpin, Alex Pereira — sharing a picture of the Brazilian’s recent quotes in which he urged UFC CEO, Dana White to book them in a massive pairing next.
Jones, a former two-time undisputed light heavyweight champion and a current heavyweight gold holder, has been heavily linked in the last 18 months in a title unification clash with current interim titleholder, Tom Aspinall, however, a pairing has yet to come to fruition.
And sidelined since last November, Rochester native, Jones most recently headlined UFC 309 at Madison Square Garden, securing an eventual third round spinning back-kick to the body stoppage over former champion, Stipe Miocic in his native New York City.
