Jon JonesvsAlex Pereira

This is the superfight everyone's been begging for. Jon Jones versus Alex Pereira would be absolutely insane: the greatest light heavyweight ever moving up to heavyweight against the most dangerous striker in the sport right now. Jones himself said he'd rather fight Pereira than anyone else for his legacy, and you can see why. This isn't just another defense, this would be a legacy defining moment. Here's what makes this matchup so wild: Jones is the master tactician who can beat you everywhere, while Pereira is straight up terrifying with those hands and kicks. Jones just finished Stipe Miocic with that nasty spinning back kick to the body at UFC 309, showing he's got serious power at heavyweight.

But Pereira? Dude's been on an absolute tear, knocking out Jamahal Hill, head kicking Jiri Prochazka into the shadow realm at UFC 303, and starching Khalil Rountree. The Brazilian recently beat Ankalaev twice. He lost the decision at UFC 313 but came back and finished him with elbows at UFC 320. The big question is whether Jones can get Pereira down and grind him out, or if Poatan catches him coming in. Jones submitted Ciryl Gane in the first round at UFC 285 with that guillotine, so his grappling at heavyweight is legit.

But Pereira's takedown defense has looked solid, and one mistake against those left hooks could be lights out. Jones has never faced power like this, and Pereira's never dealt with someone who can attack from every angle like Bones. This would be for the heavyweight title with both guys' legacies on the line. The GOAT versus the scariest knockout artist in the game right now.
