Dana White dismisses Jon Jones’ interest in Alex Pereira, focuses on Stipe Miocic title fight in New York in Morning Report

The UFC heavyweight division is currently in a strange position, with top fighters like Jon Jones and Stipe Miocic facing uncertainties and delays in their upcoming matchups. Jones, who has been relatively inactive in the past few years, was set to defend his heavyweight title against Miocic last November but had to pull out due to injury.

Despite interim champion Tom Aspinall waiting in the wings, Jones has been teasing a potential champion vs. champion showdown with Alex Pereira. However, UFC CEO Dana White has reassured fans that the fight with Miocic is still on the cards.

Miocic, on the other hand, is eager to get back in the octagon and face Jones. He recently expressed his desire for the fight to take place in New York, possibly in November. The former champion is determined to get his shot at Jones, regardless of whether the title is on the line or not.

With the heavyweight division in a state of flux, fans are eagerly awaiting the resolution of this heavyweight love triangle. Aspinall, who has been waiting for his next fight, remains in limbo as Jones and Miocic sort out their differences.

Despite the uncertainty surrounding the division, one thing is clear – both Jones and Miocic are determined to face off in the octagon, and fans can expect an epic showdown whenever the fight finally takes place. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
