The Man Who Kills Legends (And Why Jon Jones Is Next)

Alex “Poatan” Pereira’s rise is unlike anything MMA has seen. A former Glory kickboxing champion who once nearly drank himself out of fighting, Pereira bulldozed through middleweight, knocked out Israel Adesanya, then moved up to light heavyweight and captured a second belt. In just a handful of UFC fights he’s racked up highlight‑reel finishes, and now fans are asking a previously unthinkable question: can his left hook end Jon Jones’ legendary run? 

In this in‑depth breakdown we trace Pereira’s journey from Brazil’s tire shops to two‑division UFC champion. We re‑watch his kickboxing wars with Adesanya, analyse his calm pressure and timing, and show how his power carried up to 205 lbs. Then we stack him against the greatest mixed‑martial‑artist ever, Jon “Bones” Jones. Jones dominated light heavyweight for over a decade, then jumped to heavyweight and submitted Ciryl Gane in one round. We examine their frames, striking habits, wrestling threats, mileage, and the tactical chess match that would unfold if they meet on July 4th weekend.

You’ll hear why Joe Rogan thinks this could be “one of the biggest fights in human history” , what makes Pereira’s left hook different at heavyweight, and why Jones’ age and layoffs might matter. We also discuss the legacy stakes: a Pereira win catapults him into all‑time status, while a Jones victory cements the GOAT debate forever.
