UFC president Dana White isn’t overly interested in agreeing to what Jon Jones wants next in the promotion.
Last weekend, Jon Jones defeated Stipe Miocic to successfully defend his UFC heavyweight championship. In the eyes of many, Jones did enough to prove that he’s still capable of competing at the elite level. In equal measure, the popular opinion was that he should take on Tom Aspinall next.
Alas, unfortunately for the masses, Jones seems far more interested in taking on UFC light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira. Dana White made it crystal clear that he didn’t think that was a great idea during fight week, and in the post-fight press conference, he reiterated that belief.
