Zahabi: "I don't think the UFC will give Jones a fight with Pereira"

Dmitriy Kel Nov. 27, 2024, 2:34 a.m.

Renowned Canadian trainer Firas Zahabi said he sees no point in staging a fight between UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones and lower division titleholder Alex Pereira.

"John is going to fight Pereira.... I don't think the UFC is going to give him that fight with Alex. I'm sure the UFC doesn't want Jon Jones to beat Alex Pereira - I'm sure Jon would. He would crush Pereira," - quotes Zahabi MMA Junkie.

Recall that Jones knocked out Stipe Miocic on November 16 at UFC 309.
