Jon Jones has shared some advise for Alex Pereira after viewing footage of his sparring on social media.<\/p>\n

In an ‘Instagram’ post with a photo of a scale that was shared by ‘MMA Mania’ it was stated:<\/p>\n

“Alex Pereira is currently 226 pounds with 9.8% body fat”<\/em>.<\/p>\n

And….<\/p>\n

“74 days until #UFC 281”<\/em><\/p>\n

A picture of Alex Pereira beside Dominick Reyes (a former opponent of Jon Jones) on Instagram has also gone viral (see that here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

It will be Alex Pereira (6-1 MMA) vs Israel Adesanya (23-1 MMA) this coming November at UFC 281 which takes place at Madison Square Garden in New York City. The middleweight main event title fight takes place on Saturday, November 12th.<\/p>\n

Pereira, 35, will be entering the cage with 6 wins in a row. ‘Poatan’s’ most recent victory was a KO over Sean Strickland (25-4 MMA) in July of this year at UFC 276.<\/p>\n

Adesanya, 33, has only 1 loss to his resume, which occurred back in March of 2021 at UFC 259 where he went down to defeat against Jan Blachowicz (29-9 MMA) via unanimous decision for the promotions vacant light heavyweight title.<\/p>\n

Jon Jones, former light heavyweight champ, is providing some unsolicited advice to the Brazilian fighter after viewing his recent sparring session on social media (h\/t MMAFighting<\/a>).<\/p>\n

\u201cBe careful not to show Izzy too much champ, I honestly don\u2019t think it will matter though. It\u2019s yours.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

In another post, Jones wrote \u201cloving that shot\u201d<\/em> in response to a takedown from Pereira.<\/p>\n

Pereira’s goal is to hand Adesanya another loss after knocking him out in the kickboxing ring in 2017, which was his second win over the UFC champ.<\/p>\n

Adesanya recently defended his middleweight title for a fifth time with a unanimous decision win over Jared Cannonier (15-6 MMA) at UFC 276.<\/p>\n

Will you be watching UFC 281? Is your money on Israel Adesanya, or will you be taking Alex Pereira like Jon Jones?<\/p>\n
