“2024 has been Alex Pereira’s year, no one can deny that,” McGregor told The Schmo .”If we go by that, forget belts, forget anything of that, it’s in competition. He’s (three) fights this year, (three) KOs, and his most impressive one was most recently. I’d put Alex Pereira as No. 1.”

Conor McGregor is convinced that Alex Pereira would present a lot of problems to Jon Jones, if the pair were to ever clash inside the octagon. The UFC legends are currently ranked as the number two and three pound-for-pound fighters in the world, with ‘Poatan’ just edging out the American.

Conor McGregor believes that if Jon Jones and Alex Pereira ever fought, then "Poatan" would give "Bones" some issues.
