Alex Pereira Wins UFC GOAT Status With Ciryl Gane Fight Victory

2026-06-29 · Alex Pereira · Player Focus

Alex Pereira will surpass Jon Jones as the UFC's greatest of all time if he wins the interim heavyweight championship against Ciryl Gane on June 14.

Dana White told Forbes that Alex Pereira would become the greatest of all time with a win.

This would make Alex Pereira a three-division champion, a feat no UFC fighter has achieved.

Alex Pereira is not focused on becoming the GOAT, he said in an interview with B/R last month.

The winner of the interim heavyweight title fight will face heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall in a unification bout.

Jon Jones previously held the UFC light heavyweight and heavyweight titles, with 16 wins in UFC title fights.

Alex Pereira has been the UFC's biggest star in recent years and a win against Ciryl Gane would cement his place in history.

The fight against Ciryl Gane is scheduled to take place at UFC Freedom 250 on June 14, with the winner earning a shot at the heavyweight championship.
