- Dana White revealed his thoughts on UFC light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira moving to the UFC’s heavyweight division.
#DANAWHITE #UFC
So Dana thinking I'm not letting Alex anywhere near Jones.
There’s no way alex periera could beat jon jones
@nobody8739 yeah I don't think so either. I'm a much bigger fan of Pereira, but gotta be realistic. I would be rooting for him tho
@@nobody8739Jon has everything over Alex, but there's no doubting Alex's striking is on another level. Probably the best to ever do it in the UFC along with Silva, and Adesanya.
Doubt he would have a chance against JJ's wrestling, and grappling though.
@hayden5880 you countered your own argument. Jon Jones doesn't have "everything" over him. Alwx' stand up is leagues above Jones. That's said, the difference in wrestling is a much, much bigger canyon apart. Haha
@@RyanMMatthews Apologies I should've used an "except" instead of "but" lol.
So max vs pereira
😂
😅
Yeah why did he bring that up
@@Larkos212to prove the point that most people underestimate a weight class move up so he was saying that people wouldn’t think alex would be as competitive at heavyweight
Hahaha😂😂😂
Alex should move up to heavyweight. He could be the first ever 3 division champion. At this point he might as well go for it because he isnt getting any younger.
It's not fair and doesn't make sense to get to skip the line over guys in every division and get to fight for the belt straight away off one win in a lower division. Alex needs to defend the belt a couple times before he moves up.... and I'm sure he can and will move up to heavyweight after.
@JordanAlbert-fu9jz He's 36 years old about to be 37 soon. He isn't the youngest guy on the roster. This is when a lot of guys start leaving their prime. It's fair that he skips the line because he earned it. He earned it by beating 1 of the best middleweight to ever live to get the belt and winning the belt a weight class up. He most certainly has earned it. He only lost 1 time in his ufc run.
I would agree with defending the belt a few times before moving up in weight. However, he already has 2 titles to his name. He wants to make history. He deserves this.
for me 1/2 title defenses would be perfect. That way his status as a dominant lhw champion would be secure. After that he should take his time to gain weight because he simply looks too small for heavyweight rn. That way he can give his best shot at heavyweight and still be known as a dominant champ with solid title defenses even if he looses. If he fights at HW once and instantly gets a title shot and looses by an early finish he would loose so much respect
@lakaka5169 But he's getting older and this is his chance to make history and be the first ever 3x championship holder. I don't think that's a good move for him. He looks really big even at 205 so he doesn't really need to take time to put weight on like that.
@bane3991 On a business standpoint, I see where you're coming from.... And that's most likely what's gonna happen. Their is more intriguing fights a heavy weight than LHW. I just wish he'd fight a couple more at light heavy weight. But then again, Pierera and Aspinall. Is a dream match up that would be ruined if he got beat by a lay and pray wrestler at LHW.
Dana made the mistake of letting Ngannou leave, and now he is making the mistake of not making the move of Pereira fighting at HW against Aspinall. These were the type of fights the UFC started with in the beginning.
Def not a mistake… Its a money decision and I get it. I’d rather see Alex defend his belt 4-6 times before he makes another move through divisions. More strictly divisional champions, the more PPV card toppers…
After all he claimed vacant belt against someone who wasn’t champ, had just two 2 LHW defences while he was a one time MW belt holder.
I don’t agree with postponing the LHW just for the sake of a historic opportunity, an opportunity I don’t think he’s earned yet.
Everyone wants to see it but it doesn’t make sense for his career, the company or for any of two heavyweight champions to take a side quest when they’re rightfully supposed to be fighting eachother.
But hey Aspinall periera is the easy and best option, interim doesn’t mean as much when there’s still a championship bout signed and ready to go for later in the year.
This guy still talks about jones like he is not retired 🤦♂️
You never really retire from combat sports unless it retires you just look at Tyson 😭
He isn't retired. He is injured and was supposed to fight.
@@vitald8796 ohh ok
He isn't retired, and he's the current HW champ (unfortunately).
@@Sosozanyway the champion that has fight one fight in like 4 years and hasn’t fought in more than a year ok dude
dana dont want to pereira be more than JJ, he knows pereira can be the first triple champ
I love pereira but you're high if you think he can beat jones
@@13lack13irdyour high if you think Jon Jones is fighting anyone other than old man Stipe
@@dhgswiftkiller4581 huh? I didn't say he was. Og comment said pereira can be first triple champ meaning he'd have to fight jones
@@13lack13irdthat left hand makes it possible (low chance probably going to be as easy as Gane), If i was jones I wouldn’t risk getting starched by that too.
Too much to lose
Alex would beat Jones' washed up ass. Dana only feeding him mediocre or aged fighters at this point. @13lack13ird
Imagine being 3 division champ. Izzy would be burning. Thanks for the likes 👍
What are you talking about....he wouldn't win against a proper elite fight
@@BaneleDlomo-ff8ivlike?
@@BaneleDlomo-ff8iv so your telling me jiri prochazka, Jan, Strickland, hill are not elite fighter they have all been champions heavyweights are fat and slow only skilled hw are aspinall jones and gane
@@MoRawat-ob5ejhe’s had all his fight cherry picked for him. Put him against a wrestler and he’s done first round. Izzy took him down and held him there for christs sake lol
There are like 5 hw fighters right now that would ragdoll him
@@KayaStar1Jiri literally subbed Glover and couldn’t do it to Alex. Jan wrestle fucked Izzy yet couldn’t do it to Alex. You’re only chance against him is to ko him clean.
I went to a UFC party for 300 with about 25 people. Only me and one other dude were with Holloway. Probably the best finish I’ve ever seen.
Periera vs aspinall
For the undisputed title
I love pereira but it wouldn't even be close
@@13lack13ird at least the division won't be frozen
Yeah either force jones to fight Aspinall, or have him vacate the belt and have Aspinall face the next in line (Maybe Pereira gets to skip the line) for the undisputed belt.
We all know it’s not happening though.
He needs an easier fight to try the heavyweight division first
Dana is delusional as fuck! The heavyweight division is the weakest division atm! The interim champ can’t fight fight the actual champ because jones wants Francis and stipe where one is in the PFL and the other is about to retire! Poor Tom is going to waste time waiting for Jonny bones jones to be fight him. I would love Alex to come into the division and breath some life into it
Wants Ngannou? Hell no, he hid for 2 years then started yapping when Francis switched lanes lol.
Yupp. Heavy weight right now is just dead. Dana saying anything else is just goofy
@@yomama9712 he literally said the 2 main problems in heavyweight.
Aspinal and jones is what he means by "nasty"
Blades got a good shot too
Na you have Gane, Aspinall, Jones even pavlovich would be a huge problem for periera.
The problem is if Alex wants that belt he’s going to have to beat Jon or Tom to get it, and I just genuinely see him beating either of them
I really don’t see any heavyweight other than jones or aspinall giving Alex a challenge
Dana...at heavyweight you got Jones you got Aspinall... the list goes on and on....
Force Jones out, he’s had a great career but his ego and stupidity has tainted every division he’s been on by holding it hostage. Has never consistently been an active fighter and talent alone has made him goat!
The list doesn't go on 3 man division 😂
Yes it does
Sergei pavlovich
Stipe Miocic
Cyril Gane
The list doesn't need to be long if he can't beat any of the top 3 contenders plus champ. In a division where everyone has power and everyone naturally fight at 60lbs heavier than Alex has ever fought
Lollll
@@PureEvil_IChopUupstipe has one fight left
@@PureEvil_IChopUupbro did not say stipe 😭
He needs to be the champ champ champ. Now is the time for sure. Easy catch.
Alex should but before he does he need to defend the title against Anakelav
I mean the build up for a legacy fight for Pereira vs Jones would be insane.
He didn’t say he wanted to go to HW definitely, he even said he was happy in LHW, he only expressed the desire to fight in Brazil.
As a title fight is complicated to promote in three weeks, he said he could climb a category for the opportunity.
Jones ran up in weight once Pereira came to the UFC
He ran once he got his ass kicked by reyes
He ran up after finishing everyone in the division
Bro you don't know nothing about fight game right? Jones afraid of Pereira? Seriously???
He ran once the LHW division caught up to him.
Alex wasn't even a top contender when Jon was still at LHW.
There should be Ankalaev match. Everyone acts like Pereira is cleared LHW. There must be at least 3 belt defenses to move up to this other damn weight class.
it doesn’t make any financial sense to let a champion hop between divisions… when will we see the LHW defended next? if he fights out of his division, it’s definitely for the interim belt then the undisputed… anything else would be pointless.
Unless he were to genuinely wait for a solid heavyweight champ to face. And that’s the real money making decision
I love how Dana was so hyped about the end of the BMF fight he straight up just ignored the question for a second and talked about Max 😂
I would LOVE to see Alex as the first triple champ, but I also dont want either Top or Alex to lose to one another since I like em both.
I would like alex to move up if heavyweight wasnt such a log jammed circus rn. Alex vs Magamed and hopefully after that, heavyweight isnt in such a bad state
Alexs walks around as big as jones outside camp this would be fire alex is like 230 lbs out side camp easy its crazy to see him down at 185 lbs reminds me of antheny rumble jonson rip brother good ones die young hart of gold that man ❤😢
As of last night, the fans have spoken. We want this guy in heavyweight.
I heard somewhere that Max once fought at heavyweight.
Dana wants a solid lhw champ, spread his best fighters along the divisions, i get that
Interviewer: What do you think about Alex in HW?
Dana: Max really fought better than I thought!
only thing that can stop Alex might be a wrestler
like Ankalaev
" I wrote it " . Bro aint lying for sure.
I would love to see him fight Derick!
I love Max Holloway.. … but I would’ve bet it all on JG …. Which is why I’m not a gambler (
"You got Jones. You got Aspinall"
Well you're half right Dana. You're half right
I would be damn excited to watch jone vs alex
I been wathing this since Tyson & Holyfield and went to "This"
I did think Max Would/ Did Show Up JS.
Dana wants Jon as the goat.
He knows Alex would destroy jones and become the Al time goat
😂😭😭
I love Pereira, but you are delusional if you think he beats Jones.
The last time a world-class kickboxer went against Jones, he ended up tapping with his back pressed to the cage. You fuckin idiots say this every time with Jon Jones and it never pans out.
Bro you high ? Jon jones takes alex to the ground and murders him. Jon ain’t as dumb as hill
Pereira and Gane would be an interesting fight. If Gane was champ it would make a potential title fight fantastic. However, I don’t see how Perfeira ever faces Jones, and after seeing the Volkov fight I have to wonder about his chances with Aspinal as well.
At some point you've got to give him the chance to go for greatness.
He’ll get taken down and man handled by most guys in heavyweight
We all want to see him go up to heavyweight!
Pereira needs to stay where he is. He fights Aspinall or Jones is gonna be a wrap. They have such a huge advantage on the ground they won't risk standing with him. He'll be grounded.
Make Ankalaev vs Alex on 301.
Save that f card its to ass as it is now.
Let him then move up to HW and fight Aspinal in like January 2025 or something for the HW belt.
Alex has a broken toe, there is no way he is fighting in 301 or 302.
@@vanhattfield8292 Blud he fought on 300 with a broken toe.
Probably too soon for Alex to defend that at 301, he probably wants HW so he could fight at home without losing his belt.
I did, Max is a beast ...
‘You got Jones, you got Aspinall. The list goes on and on” the list does not go on.
"I wrote it" lmaooo
Being a sniper is one thing. Put him next to Derrick Lewis, the size will be evident 😂
Let Poatan fight for HW, it will be history if he gets the triple champ status. C'mon Dana,
We wanna see it!! Heavyweight division is weakly stacked it only has aspinal. Let Alex fight aspinal
Poatan coming to our bones down finally
Izzy is like me when I slayed the Elden lord one time after getting whooped 20+ times. Izzy is now staying in hus lane at middleweight while Alex slays LHW and now potentially HW’s.
Ankalaev is the main threat for Pereira in 205lbs division. He's a wrestler.
Dont underestimate Pereira
Toolbar said “I wrote it” Did u think Dana was gonna give u a car dipsh!t? He asked that because the majority thought max would lose including me 😮
Gotta keep the Jones record intact, for now.
What did the mad question have to do with anything
Wtf that was a weird time to bring up Max 😂😂 his age must be getting to him
Brought him up because Max also moved up in weight class
Still weird comparison. Max was not known as a hard hitter at FW and got clobbered by Poirier. So natural to assume Gaetje would do the same or worse. Pereira hits harder than the whole ufc roster. He’s about Stipe height/weight. It’s not a crazy move up by any stretch. Only 2 guys that could give him issues are JJ or Aspinal imo. Rest of them get shadow realm’d.
I don't like him moving to heavyweight either but I'm not gonna doubt him
I don’t know of anyone who could beat jon. Yea pereira a striking is on par and even probably better than jones but jones is distance management and wrestling would most likely make pereira look like everyone else jones has fought… just not on his level
Dana is careful with his words here. Specifically asked about 301 and heavyweight, but he only focuses on the latter. I have a strong feeling Pereira will be fighting Jiri at 301
It's not the size of the man in the fight but the fight in the man.
I wanna see Alex and Aspinall fight
Or jones and Alex…
He don’t want the LHW division to be absolutely ass. Cause if Alex leaves then nobody is a true lhw champ
First Alex beats Aspinal. Jones and Alex would be a great matchup. But I think Jones will win. Dana is worried Alex may win. My opinion.
Alex is special
First time Dana has mentioned tom
Tom vs Alex is the fight to make winner should get to fight jon jones. For the title of baddest mf on earh.
The winner should be crowned the Undisputed Heavyweight Champion.
@@silverwolf6194 now while jon is alive but i must if pereira gets the tripple gold he will have more prestige than jones which i believe would diminish jones retirement. I hope pererreira becomes the last monster jones has to face before finally going to retirement
That’s not a good move for Max. I love max but there times where I question his power. When I say that, I’m speaking of him having a one punch knockout in his arsenal. That would be a huge disadvantage for Max 170lbs
I would love to c jones/alex
Lol the miss direction 😂
Nobody thought Max would win😮 and it was his last will against Justin.
Let s try vs Jones to end his legendary carreer
⚠️immediately, Dana deflects & changed the subject lmao
Max jumped up 10 pounds against justin, who doesn't cut much weight at all for 155. Alex would be jumping up 30 to 40 pounds. Of course, he's not small weighing over 230 against Jamaal, but those heavyweights got 30 to 40 pounds on him.
Dana, don’t be scared about Alex knocking Jones out
For some reason, he was bitching at Khamzat for not sticking to just one weight class.
Khamzat calls out everyone in every weight class and fights nobody, he's become a joke
My hands raised Dana I thought Max would win but not in that spectacular way
Chama 🗿 is for all divisions
Guy asks about Alex danna yeah max done great tonight wtf 😂😂😂
Lets just have jj vs aspinall instead of jj vs pereira ffs
He said who thinks max wins.
Everyone put their hand up 😂
Gatekeepin Jones yo fight some prime fighters. Only wants the stipe fight
I just think he wants to make him a bigger star than he is right now, before moving him up to heavyweight. He's milking it.
Dana doesn't get carried away like these fan boys. No way Alex gets the HW belt while Jones is there
I thought max was gonna get over powered and killed
Danas logic:
Max moved up and looked great.
Perreira will move up - maybe not so good.😂
Bet Jones don't fight anymore. If the Stipe fight happens I'll be surprised. Jones doesn't want to tarnish his record.
I disagree with Dana White in one thing Beretta we will win just good in the heavyweight maybe it's hard to beat up Jon Jones but is not at the same time
I predicted max winning I would never bet against him
Why is jones always wanting to fight smaller guys with no ground game? Fight Tom Aspinal for the Heavyweight belt. If jones wins he can walk away from the sport and will forever be known as the greatest to ever do it.
Poatan isn't worried about catching the HW belt (yet)... he just wants to fight at home in Brazil.
Give him a fight!!!
Jones wouldn’t be a good fight. He’d wrestle and smother Alex. The crowd
would hate it.
Don’t understand how the ufc benefits from protecting Jones so much
The list does NOT go on 😭
Dana was so coked out an drink during this presser
Alex can do it all he will be the first triple champ ever,Izzy will have nitemares forever
Bruh when was the last time jones fought
Alex should fight Tom. Whoever wins gets Jones. Jones should fight the best guy or retire. The champ should fight the best contender. Stipe is over the hill. Nobody wants to see Jones vs Spite.
Dare to be great
Everybody on planet earth knows Perreira ends Jones. 😂
The list, in fact, does not go on
