The UFC middleweight champion has been seeking a fight against Pereira for some time. Meanwhile, ‘Poatan’ recently called out Jon Jones for a superfight at the White House.

However, Chimaev isn’t moving away from facing the UFC light heavyweight champion. ‘Borz’ recently claimed that he could beat Pereira and his coach, Glover Teixeira, at the same time.

Texeira and Pereira released a video on Instagram responding to Chimaev’s challenge. The coach claimed he was retired but was willing to face ‘Borz'. Teixeira also brought up a fight against Jon Jones, but Pereira had an interesting proposition for Chimaev. 'Poatan' revealed two conditions for the pair to clash.

The first was that they would meet in a grappling contest, even if it was in the UFC. The second condition was that the money made in the fight would be donated to charity.

Chimaev was quick to respond on Instagram and accepted the clash. He even went on to say that Pereira and Teixeira would be submitted on the same night.

“Let’s go I can submit you both same night”

Alex Pereira sends message to Jon Jones

While Khamzat Chimaev might be on Alex Pereira’s radar, the Brazilian hasn’t taken his eyes off Jon Jones.

‘Poatan’ recently shared an Instagram video where he called out Jones in front of the Colosseum. Pereira was asked by Nina-Marie Daniele who he wanted to fight next, and the UFC champion named 'Bones' and also provided a location.

“Jon Jones. White House. Chama”

Pereira is one of the biggest names in the UFC and there is always interest in when and who he will fight next.

The Brazilian moving up to heavyweight to face Jones might be a huge fight, but UFC legend Chael Sonnen believes a win over another heavyweight could make Pereira the greatest.

Sonnen claimed a win over UFC heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall would make Pereira the first UFC three-division champion and the indisputable GOAT.
