Alex Pereira had previously hinted that he will not fight Jon Jones on the UFC White House card. However, earlier today, ‘Poatan’ creatively shouted ‘Bones’.
Back home in Brazil, Pereira revisited the tire shop where he once worked. From there, he filmed a video and later shared it on his socials. The clip showed a tape reading “Next Jones UFC” while a hammer was leaned against it with verse “Poatan” written on the handle.
Watch Alex Pereira just call out Jon Jones below:
Dana White recently gave his thoughts on this super fight. He told Complex Sports that while it’s an interesting matchup, White doesn’t know if he can count on Jon Jones. Jones vacating the heavyweight championship last year and not fighting then-interim champion Tom Aspinall as White had wished was the main reason why the 56-year-old could not put his faith in Jones and make him part of the June 14 celebrations.
Jon Jones responds to Alex Pereira’s call
Jon Jones quickly responded to the Brazilian’s call. He asked ‘Poatan’ to be careful what he wishes for as Jones has defeated several Brazilian UFC fighters, including Alex Pereira’s coach and former UFC light heavyweight champion Glover Teixeira.
“I have defeated many legends from your country, my friend. I know you would like to avenge the boys, but be careful what you wish for. CHAMA”

‘Bones’ remains convinced that he can beat Alex Pereira, especially by studying the clips the latter uploads of his training; that will help the American fighter analyze his game plan and fighting style and identify the loopholes. Jones had previously told Geoffrey Woo in an interview:
“Pereira posts everything, whole sparring sessions. I have a whole kickboxing career to study from. I think my wrestling, strength and wisdom would be of great use to him.”
