"I'll answer the subject one time. With all due respect, with all the respect that I have for the situation, and I've said this in the back. I was going to ask for Jon Jones at the White House,"
"With everything that happened it's not the right time to talk about it."
"I don't think that's needed. Everyone knows how often I fight so that's not going to be an issue,"
"The best. Whoever's the best,"
Alex Pereira revealed he had planned to call out Jon Jones at the White House but chose not to because of the recent passing of Jones' brother, Arthur. Pereira is seriously considering a move up to heavyweight, a decision that could require vacating the light heavyweight title. The UFC has increasingly asked champions pursuing dual titles to relinquish belts to avoid stalled divisions. Pereira argues his fight frequency would prevent inactivity concerns, while UFC CEO Dana White appeared unenthusiastic and kept their backstage conversation private. Possible next opponents include Jiri Prochazka rematch or Carlos Ulberg; Pereira wants the best available opponent.
