Jones accepted Pereira's proposed White House fight after 'Poatan' offered to rejuvenate the heavyweight division after UFC 321

Alex Pereira is looking to pull Jon Jones out of retirement after this weekend's UFC heavyweight title fight ended in a dud.

Jon Jones and Alex Pereira both stated Saturday they would like to face up against each other at the White House event slated for June.

Mauricio Ruffy revealed Alex Pereira fought Magomed Ankalaev at UFC 313 with a broken shin and severe illness.

Jon Jones is now on board with a bumper showdown against Alex Pereira on next year’s UFC White House card. ‘Bones’ announced his retirement from the sport earlier in the year and

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.

After reclaiming gold and silencing doubters, Alex Pereira hints at his next big move beyond the UFC, leaving fans guessing about what comes next.

Ankalaev ended Pereira's run as light heavyweight champion at UFC 313 in March, a run that came after Pereira jumped up in weight after losing the middleweight title. On that night, Ankalaev was able to use his clinch game to smother Pereira and take him out of a comfortable range for his dangerous strikes.

After Pereira got his revenge on Magomed Ankalaev to return to the throne at UFC 320, the Brazilian outlined his desire to move up to heavyweight. Should he remain at 205 pounds for a title defense, Carlos Ulberg has been pointed to as the most deserving contender.

Almeida's opponent, Volkov, is coming off a controversial decision loss to Ciryl Gane, who challenges Aspinall for the heavyweight title in the UFC 321 headliner. The Brazilian said he thinks Volkov won that fight and looks at him in high regard entering their important showdown.
