MMA icon Jason ‘Mayhem’ Miller shared his opinion on the potential superfight between Alex Pereira and Jon Jones.
Ever since his landmark victory at UFC 320, Alex Pereira has openly expressed interest in facing Jon Jones. Fans imagine the fight could headline a UFC White House card as the main event.
Both fighters respect each other, but UFC president Dana White has not committed. White’s hesitation stems largely from how he handled the Tom Aspinall situation.
Miller Says the Fight Must Happen
In a recent interview, Jason ‘Mayhem’ Miller spoke about the bout.
“100% should happen. 100% should happen,” Miller said. He believes the fight is much closer than most people expect.
“Everyone assumes Jon will win. But Jon is a more complete martial artist and bigger at this stage in his career,” he added.
Miller Supports the Underdog
Miller admitted he hopes Pereira, known as Poatan, wins.
“Do I want Poatan to win? Yeah. A little bit. He has a romantic story. Working at a tire shop, overcoming struggles, and becoming a kickboxing champion—that resonates with me,” Miller explained.
He compared Pereira’s journey to his own early struggles. Even if some details are exaggerated, the story still inspires admiration.
