Alex “Poatan” Pereira is a combat sports phenomenon known for his terrifying “Stone Hands” and legendary left hook.
After becoming a two-division champion in Glory Kickboxing, he transitioned to the UFC and made history by winning titles in two weight classes (Middleweight and Light Heavyweight) in record time. His career is defined by a ruthless efficiency; out of his 13 professional MMA wins, 11 have come by knockout, including finishes over six former UFC champions.
Whether it’s his rivalry with Israel Adesanya or his recent 80-second demolition of Magomed Ankalaev at UFC 320, Pereira has cemented himself as the ultimate “final boss” of the Octagon.

underestimating him.
The legendary career of Jon Jones may have reached its final chapter. In a candid interview with Helen Yee on February 8, 2026, Jones admitted, "I think I could be done." Despite a massive "super-fight" against Alex "Poatan" Pereira being discussed for the historic UFC White House card on June 14, 2026, "Bones" has revealed a staggering physical reality: he is battling severe arthritis in his left hip and already qualifies for a full hip replacement.
Jones shared that his last training camp was plagued by "immense pain" that haunted him every night, and he is now prioritizing his quality of life for his three-year-old son over another "fat payday." While Dana White remains skeptical about a White House return due to Jones' history of withdrawals and his recent refusal of the Tom Aspinall unification bout, Jones is "excited to meet the person without fighting." Whether he risks his hip for a final miracle on the South Lawn or walks away as the undisputed GOAT, the Jones era is ending on his own terms. Is it time for Jon to hang it up, or will the allure of the White House be the one thing that can make him fight through the pain? 🥊🏛️🦾
