Joe Rogan's Bold Proposal: A New Title for Jones vs Pereira at the UFC White House Event
The renowned UFC commentator, Joe Rogan, has a controversial idea that's stirring up the MMA community. He believes that the highly anticipated fight between Jon Jones and Alex Pereira deserves a unique prize: a brand-new title. But here's where it gets interesting... Rogan wants UFC President Dana White to create this title specifically for the winner of the Jones vs Pereira bout at the prestigious White House event.
Jones, a former champion, has been vocal about his desire to return to the Octagon at the White House, even accepting an undercard position despite his main event status. However, Dana White has been less enthusiastic about this matchup, firmly rejecting the idea of Jones facing the reigning light heavyweight champion at the event.
But Rogan isn't backing down. He's not only advocating for the fight to happen but also suggesting the creation of a heavyweight BMF (Bad Motherf**ker) belt for the occasion. This proposal adds an intriguing twist to the already captivating storyline.
The BMF belt, currently held by Max Holloway in the lightweight division, was first introduced for a welterweight bout between Jorge Masvidal and Nate Diaz. Rogan believes a heavyweight version of this belt would be a fitting tribute to the winner of Jones vs Pereira.
While Rogan's idea has gained some support, it's not without its challenges. Alex Pereira, who had initially expressed interest in fighting Jones at the White House, recently hinted that the matchup might not happen this year. In a recent Instagram post, he suggested that the White House fight is a 'no go'.
This development has sparked rumors of an alternative plan: a potential interim heavyweight title fight between Pereira and Ciryl Gane, as Tom Aspinall recovers from an injury.
So, will Dana White reconsider and give in to Rogan's request? Will we see the creation of a new title for this highly anticipated fight? And what do you think about this controversial proposal? Share your thoughts and join the debate!
