Light heavyweight titleholder Alex Pereira fired off a post on X, calling out former two-weight world champion Jon Jones for a scrap that would "make the heavyweight division great again."

When Jon Jones retired from MMA in early 2025, he did so under somewhat complicated circumstances. By the time he hung up the gloves, he was irrefutably one of the greatest fighters in MMA history—maybe the best outright.

Jon Jones and Alex Pereira would like to fight each other during the planned UFC event in June at the White House. Two of the UFC's biggest stars publicly called out each other Saturday in the immediate aftermath of the UFC heavyweight title fight between Tom Aspinall and Ciryl Gane.

Jon Jones recently shared his response to Alex Pereira's remarks about the UFC's heavyweight division.

Jones' message to Pereira came after current UFC heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall retained his title against Ciryl Gane due to a no contest caused by an accidental eye poke during their fight at UFC 321. Shortly after the bout came to an end, Pereira called out Jones for a White House clash on Instagram.

Jon Jones wasted little time in reacting on social media after the first UFC Heavyweight Championship defence of rival Tom Aspinall ended in disaster at UFC 321. The pay-per-view card at Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi was headlined by a five-round main event between Aspinall and top contender Cyril Gane.

After the events of UFC 321, you knew Jon Jones was going to make his voice heard. And he did so in a way that was equal parts subtle as it was blatant.

Former UFC champion Jon Jones shared an emotional tribute to his former NFL star brother Arthur, who died suddenly at age 39 in early October. On Thursday, Oct. 23, Jon shared a compilation video in memory of Arthur, who won a Super Bowl with the Baltimore Ravens in 2013, and penned a thoughtful caption.
