The UFC’s historic White House event is still six months away, but the card’s biggest potential matchup might already be slipping through the promotion’s fingers and Daniel Cormier isn’t thrilled about it.
After reclaiming his light heavyweight title at UFC 320, Alex Pereira made it clear he wanted a superfight against Jon Jones at the UFC’s upcoming June 14 spectacle on the South Lawn. Jones, newly back in the USADA testing pool and out of retirement, enthusiastically accepted.
But UFC CEO Dana White has repeatedly shown little interest in the matchup, and earlier this week Pereira added fuel to the uncertainty with a cryptic message stating he was a “No Go” for the White House card.
