Overview
- Jones told Red Corner MMA he doubts Dana White will approve a fight with Alex Pereira targeted for the White House event.
- Alex Pereira recently posted that a White House appearance is “a NO GO,” signaling he does not expect to compete on that card.
- Dana White has questioned Jones’s reliability for such a showcase after past withdrawals, legal issues, and a mid‑2025 retirement.
- With Tom Aspinall out following eye surgery, online chatter has floated an interim heavyweight option for Pereira against Ciryl Gane, which remains unconfirmed.
- Matchmaking for the June 14 card is not slated to begin until February, and Pereira’s alternatives include a light heavyweight defense with Carlos Ulberg discussed as a possible opponent.
