It hasn’t even been a week since Alex Pereira defeated Magomed Ankalaev in their UFC 320 rematch to reclaim his UFC light heavyweight title. However, ‘Poatan’ has made his intentions clear for his next move in the UFC. The 38-year-old respectfully called out former UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones for a fight next year in June on the UFC White House card. But during the Ankalaev fight, Pereira broke his foot, sidelining him for a while.
“I did an X-ray in Las Vegas and an MRI here, and we have a fracture on my foot, but I still don’t know what will happen, or how long it will take for me to recover. I think it’s good to focus on this White House. It’s something that interests me. I think I’ll focus on this,” Pereira confirmed during a Q&A in Rio de Janeiro, per MMA Fighting . This
