Pereira is ready to fight Jones.

Reigning UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones has not ruled out that after his fight with Miocic, he will meet light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira in the octagon. The Brazilian has accepted the challenge, and is ready to fight "Bones."

"We are both professionals. I have nothing against John, I have nothing but respect for him. We're both trying to accomplish something. I feel like we would be able to give the fans an exciting fight. If it does happen, it would be fantastic. We have fans that want it. We have athletes who want it. We have the organization to make it happen. Yes, there are other athletes in the division that need to move on, so we need to look at the best way to do it. If the UFC gives us the green light and they show interest, we can make it happen. It would be a real war. It would be a very entertaining show for the fans...," Yahoo Sports quoted Pereira as saying.
