Reigning light heavyweight champion, Alex Pereira, wants to move up to heavyweight for a UFC White House showdown opposite Jon Jones when the promotion hits Washington, D.C., in June 2026. Working in “Poatan’s” favor is the fact that “Bones” is equally excited about their potential super fight.
“I’d love to fight Alex,” Ulberg told MMA Junkie. “That’s the big fight. That’s the money fight. That’s an entertaining fight. That’s the fight fans would love to see and watch. I hope that he sticks around the light heavyweight division so that I can fight Pereira. That would be amazing. That would be the fight that I always wanted. You beat someone like Alex, that just means you’re at the top level. This is putting all the guys out of the picture, but I want Alex.”
