Alex Pereira makes a bold proposal after Tom Aspinall vs. Cyril Gane to no contest at UFC 321

Alex Pereira has reacted to the no-contest at UFC 321. Pereira also has a proposal for the UFC heavyweight division, and he wants to make it big again.

Earlier tonight at UFC 321, the UFC's 265-pound headliner Tom Aspinall entered the octagon to defend his undisputed belt for the first time against Cyril Gane.

However, the bout did not last long as Aspinall, after an accidental eye poke from Gane, was unable to continue. The bout was therefore declared a no-contest and the Briton retained his title. As the heavyweight headliner finished in dramatic fashion, the crowd at Abu Dhabi's Etihad Arena booed the result.

Pereira, who was watching the fight on TV, didn't seem happy with how it ended either. Sharing a video of himself nodding off after the no-contest, he offered a solution to reviving the UFC's heavyweight division. Using emojis, 'poatan' he alluded to a super fight between him and Jon Jones on the 2026 White House UFC card. He posted on Instagram:

“Let's make the heavyweight division great again! 🗿x 🦴 = 🏠”

Check out Alex Pereira's post below:

Jones retired from MMA earlier this year; however, he soon entered the test pool to fight at the White House in 2026. However, UFC General Manager Dana White has not supported “Bones” and the latter's decision to be part of such an iconic card.

'Poatan' has previously expressed his desire fight Jones and also to move up to the heavyweight division.

The Brazilian was dethroned earlier this year by Magomed Ankalaev, but wasted no time and scored a first-round TKO victory in the rematch against Ankalaev last month at UFC 320. His next fight has not been announced.

Currently, Pereira is recovering from a broken foot he held during the aforementioned rematch with Ankalaev.
