Former two-division UFC champion Henry Cejudo has put forward a compelling idea: he believes that current light heavyweight titleholder Alex Pereira should challenge heavyweight legend Jon Jones in a highly anticipated bout. Cejudo envisions this monumental fight taking place at a potential UFC event hosted at the prestigious White House.
Cejudo passionately advocates for this particular clash, suggesting it could even be contested for the “BMF title” within the heavyweight division. He argues that such a matchup would strategically place an American fighter, Jon Jones, at the absolute forefront of such a significant and visible White House event. Dismissing the notion of Jones fighting Tom Aspinall, Cejudo views Pereira as the “next big name in MMA,” asserting that he holds greater public recognition than Aspinall. Following Pereira`s recent dominant victory over Ankalaev, Cejudo emphasizes that a fight between “Poatan” and “Bones” is now more relevant and timely than ever. He further speculates that this could serve as a career-defining, and potentially final, fight for both the iconic Jon Jones and the formidable Alex Pereira.
