Ever since reclaiming the light heavyweight title at UFC 320, Alex Pereira has had his sights set on moving up to heavyweight. Following the Las Vegas event, the Brazilian star revealed in an interview that he hopes to face Jon Jones at next year’s White House card in June, marking his debut in the 265lbs division.
And after the chaotic events of UFC 321, where Tom Aspinall’s long-awaited return was cut short due to an accidental eye poke from Ciryl Gane, Pereira couldn’t resist taking a jab at both fighters and the heavyweight division as a whole.
