Nothing has materialized between the Jones vs. Pereira fight, but fans and the MMA world are talking about the fight. And now, UFC heavyweight star Robelis Despaigne believes Pereira can knock out Jones in the matchup. Speaking to MMA Fighting, Despaigne said Pereira is basically a natural heavyweight and could cause serious problems if Jones makes a mistake:

“If Jon Jones makes a mistake, you know he can put him to sleep. Not easily, we know Jon Jones’ quality. It’s going to be a very anticipated fight, a big box-office fight because both of them have a big fan base and very strong numbers. It’ll be a very good fight.”

Jones is known for his strong chin and high fight IQ, but Pereira’s knockout power is just as dangerous. If this fight ever happens, it would be massive in terms of hype and numbers. Pereira has also been called out by Khamzat Chimaev, adding even more buzz around his future.
