Rogan Calls Jones–Pereira ‘Biggest Fight’ as UFC Hesitation Persists

The bout remains unbooked as UFC leadership questions the matchup.

Overview

  • Joe Rogan labeled a potential Jon Jones vs. Alex Pereira bout “the biggest fight in human history” and floated a 225-pound catchweight under a BMF-style, non-title format.
  • Pereira amplified Rogan’s remarks by sharing the podcast clip and posting a short handshake video with Jones, signaling mutual interest without a formal agreement.
  • The fighters have publicly circled a superfight since mid-2024, with Jones discussing a return on the UFC’s planned White House card and Pereira expressing willingness to face him.
  • UFC CEO Dana White has voiced reservations about approving Jones vs. Pereira and has questioned Jones’ reliability to headline, while highlighting alternatives such as Tom Aspinall or Conor McGregor.
  • Pereira recently reclaimed the light heavyweight title with a quick knockout of Magomed Ankalaev, but no contract talks or official booking for a Jones showdown have been reported.
