Overview

• Joe Rogan said on his podcast that a Jon Jones vs. Alex Pereira matchup would be the biggest fight in human history in MMA.
• Rogan floated a 225-pound catchweight and a special BMF-style label, suggesting the bout need not be for a title.
• Jon Jones has relinquished his belt and stepped away from competition, yet he has been talking up a June return targeting the White House card.
• Alex Pereira, the current light heavyweight champion, has publicly offered himself as Jones’s opponent for that event.
• UFC CEO Dana White has expressed reluctance to rely on Jones to headline and has said he would not sanction Jones vs. Pereira, as voices like Bruce Buffer promote Tom Aspinall as the preferable opponent.
