The news comes as speculation swirls about Jones’ future in the Octagon, with many wondering if he will retire on top of the world.

Jones, who is no stranger to holding belts in multiple divisions, sees Pereira as a worthy challenger to his heavyweight throne. Pereira, who has already defended his title once and holds aspirations of conquering another weight class, has piqued Jones’ interest as a potential opponent.

“If Alex P became champion of the heavyweight division, would you guys consider him the GOAT?” Jones tweeted. “That fight after Stipe maybe the next biggest move I could possibly make.”

The potential matchup between Jones and Pereira has the MMA world buzzing, with Jones himself acknowledging the magnitude of such a fight. “No one can argue that that would be the biggest fight in MMA history,” Jones said. “There’s absolutely no fight that generates a payday like that. Marketing would be insane.”

While Pereira may not be the only contender for Jones’ next fight, he certainly seems to be at the forefront of Jones’ mind. Despite other potential challengers like Tom Aspinall, Jones is drawn to the star power and potential legacy-building opportunity that a fight with Pereira presents.
