Dana White Picks Four Dream Fights for Potential UFC Supercard
UFC CEO Dana White, in an interview with Bleacher Report, put together a potential fight card featuring some of his dream matchups.
Dana White’s Dream UFC Card
Josh Hokit vs. Alex Pereira
Josh Hokit has always been real about wanting to use Alex Pereira’s star power to catapult his own.
Hokit is set to challenge heavyweight champion Ciryl Gane in the main event of UFC 334 later tonight. If he manages to dethrone Gane, Hokit would love to face Pereira next. “The Incredible Hok” has taken countless digs at “Poatan” over the past few months, but Pereira is now unaffected by the trash talk, as witnessed during the press conference earlier this week.
Pereira, meanwhile, will face Sergei Pavlovich next month at UFC 335. If the 39-year-old wins, he plans to continue competing in the heavyweight division. However, if he loses, he would move back down to light heavyweight.
Even if Pereira moves back down to 205 pounds, Hokit remains eager to fight the Brazilian.

Ilia Topuria vs. Paddy Pimblett
A clash between Topuria and Pimblett has a strong chance of happening in 2027. The fight could have taken place this year if Pimblett had beaten Justin Gaethje at UFC 324.
However, with Gaethje sending Topuria back to the drawing board and dethroning “El Matador,” the Georgian-Spaniard is now looking to return next year. Topuria would love to face his longtime rival Paddy Pimblett, who bounced back from his loss to Gaethje with a stunning 52-second submission victory over Benoit Saint Denis at UFC 329.

Petr Yan vs. Sean O’Malley 2
This matchup is another that could happen next year. Current and two-time UFC bantamweight champion Petr Yan recently defeated Merab Dvalishvili in their trilogy bout. After that, former champ Sean O’Malley immediately expressed interest in running it back with Yan.

Tom Aspinall vs. Jon Jones
Dana White had promised fans that Tom Aspinall vs. Jon Jones would happen in 2025. However, rather than face then-interim heavyweight champion Aspinall, Jones chose to vacate the undisputed title and announce his retirement.
Although Jones has returned to the testing pool, he still has no interest in fighting the Brit. Aspinall, meanwhile, remains uncertain about his return timeline, as his right eye is still causing problems. The injury has forced him to vacate the 265-pound title.
