Meanwhile, Alex Pereira and Ciryl Gane meet for the interim heavyweight championship. This comes after the Brazilian Pereira recently vacated his light heavyweight title in order to move up a weight class.
White’s impressive White House card won’t feature several huge names though, including Conor McGregor and Jon Jones. Many UFC fans anticipated comebacks from both men, but that reality hasn’t come to fruition.
However, White confirmed after UFC 326 that a fight on the White House card fell through. He reiterated that Jones isn’t one of the fighters involved in the failed bout.
