Jon Jones’ three-word Alex Pereira message ahead – Sports News
“He’s [Pereira] willing to move up to heavyweight and fight whoever. He’s willing to fight [Jones] and he’s willing to fight anyone,” said White. He added: “Jones will fight anyone too. Don’t let the internet fool you about Jon Jones. He wants to do it.”
It had been expected Jones would face interim champion Tom Aspinall later this year in fight that would unify the heavyweight division. However, Jones has previously admitted he would rather face off against Pereira than Aspinall.
At 37, Jones is more interested in ‘legacy fights’, which would pit him against former champions or current champions from different weight classes instead of his usual division.

“I want the fight more than anyone. What is holding it up right now is his side. That’s the truth of it. The UFC really, really want the fight to happen.”
