Jon Jones and MMA fans had heartwarming reactions to a recent social media video featuring Alex Pereira. Despite his fierce reputation inside the UFC octagon, Pereira has become one of the most likable personalities in the sport, known for his hilarious online presence and easygoing attitude.
Recently, Pereira was in Sydney to attend the UFC 312 event, headlined by Dricus du Plessis vs. Sean Strickland. He posted a video of himself cruising on an e-bike through the streets of Australia before being escorted in an SUV. 'Poatan' maintained his typical carefree demeanor, displaying a poker face that concealed his feelings about the experience.

A potential super fight between Jon Jones and Alex Pereira seems like a distant possibility under current circumstances
Jon Jones and Alex Pereira have expressed their desire to compete against each other multiple times in recent months. Most recently, Jones renewed his callout for the fight after defeating Stipe Miocic at UFC 309 in November 2024.
However, UFC CEO Dana White does not seem eager to arrange this matchup. During the post-fight press conference for UFC 309, White suggested that Jones' size advantage and superior grappling skills would be too much for Pereira. He did, however, acknowledge that he would consider making the fight if Jones defeated interim UFC heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall.
MMA fans and the UFC also appear to be more interested in Jones vs. Aspinall given Aspinall's physical attributes and grappling prowess. Additionally, in a recent episode of The Joe Rogan Experience podcast, Joe Rogan mentioned that Jones is contemplating retirement.
Meanwhile, Pereira is scheduled to attempt his fourth light heavyweight title defense against No.1-ranked Magomed Ankalaev at UFC 313 on March 8.
