Сирил Ган хоёр дахь раундад Алекс Перейраг хүнд цохилтоор унагаж, хүнд жингийн аваргын бүсийг хүртлээ.
Зургаадугаар сарын 14-нд болсон UFC-ийн аваргын бүсний тулаанд Алекс Перейра гурван өөр жинд аваргалах түүхэн боломжоо алдсан юм. Энэхүү үйл явдлын дараа хүнд жингийн аварга Жон Жонс өөрийн цахим хуудсаараа дамжуулан “GOAT” буюу “Бүх цаг үеийн шилдэг” гэсэн бичигтэй зүүлт зүүж буй дүрс бичлэгийг тайлбаргүйгээр нийтэлсэн нь Перейраг ёжилсон үйлдэл хэмээн олон нийт хүлээж авчээ. Жонс мөн Сирил Ганыг ялалт байгуулсанд нь баяр хүргэж, тулааныг нь өндрөөр үнэлсэн байна.
Алекс Перейра тулааны дараах мэдэгдэлдээ шүүгч Херб Динийг толгойн ар хэсэг рүү чиглэсэн хориотой цохилтуудыг анзааралгүй орхисон хэмээн шүүмжилжээ. Тэрээр Жон Жонсын үйлдлийн талаар ярихдаа, өөрийг нь хэзээ ч муулж байгаагүй хүн хүнд үед нь ийнхүү хандсанд гайхширч буйгаа илэрхийлсэн байна. Мөн тэрээр өөрийгөө хамгийн шилдэг нь гэж хэзээ ч зарлаж байгаагүй бөгөөд Жон Жонсыг хүндэлдэг хэвээрээ, түүний шүтэн бишрэгч гэдгээ онцолжээ.
Өнгөрсөн онд Магомед Анкалаевыг буулган авч хагас хүнд жингийн бүсээ хамгаалсны дараа Перейра хүнд жин рүү өгсөж, Жон Жонстой тулалдах хүсэлтэй байсан билээ. Тухайн үед хоёр тал бие биеэ хүндэтгэсэн харилцаатай байсан ч UFC-ийн зүгээс өөр шийдвэр гаргасан юм. Перейра ялагдлын дараах хүнд нөхцөлд ийм үйлдэл гаргасан Жон Жонсын үйлдлийн шалтгааныг ойлгохгүй байгаагаа илэрхийлсэн ч, түүнийг хүндэтгэх байр сууриа өөрчлөхгүй гэдгээ мэдэгдлээ.

Alex Pereira came up short in his attempt to win a UFC title at the White House on June 14, which would make him the first to clinch UFC belts in three divisions, and former two-division champion Jon Jones posted a reaction video that was interpreted as a shot at him.
No words were said in the video, and Jones was wearing a goat necklace.
Jones, who won the UFC heavyweight title with a quick victory over Ciryl Gane, later posted a message congratulating Gane for winning the bout with a second-round knockout over the Brazilian.
Pereira posted a video on his YouTube channel blasting referee Herb Dean for missing illegal strikes to the back of his head, and also addressed Jones’ video post.
“I saw the video and, honestly, I was surprised,” Pereira said in Portuguese. “If it were someone who had been provoking him and then lost, and he said something afterward, okay, that would make sense. But I’ve never spoken badly about Jon Jones. I’ve always respected him. A lot of people asked me, ‘Alex, do you consider yourself the greatest?’ Tell him to post any interview where I said that if I win, I’d be the greatest. If people consider me the greatest, okay. If they don’t, that’s okay too. I’m making my money, I’m making history. Whether I am or not, that’s not for me to decide.”
“Poatan” went up in weight after regaining his light heavyweight belt with a first-round knockout over Magomed Ankalaev in 2025 and was angling for a fight with Jones for the heavyweight title. The two have always been cordial to each other publicly and Jones had also voiced his interest in facing Pereira, but the UFC ultimately decided to go in a different direction.
“Honestly, I just don’t understand why he did that when an athlete is going through a tough moment,” Pereira said. “Nobody wants to lose. For someone to take a shot at a guy who has never taken a shot at him during a difficult moment like that, you know? When he was going through a tough time, what did I do? I supported him. But not everyone is the same. Everyone thinks differently.”
Despite the subtle shot taken, Pereira remains “a fan” and said he will not change his opinion about Jones.
“I’ve always spoken highly of him,” Pereira said. “I never said he was the greatest, but I’ve said he’s one of the greatest and that he can be considered the greatest. I’m not going to get into debates about who’s the greatest because then someone else comes along and people just start arguing, you know? But even with all of this, I’m not going to stop being a fan of his. I’ve always spoken well of him. I’m a fan. I just don’t understand why he did that.”
