UFC White House Makeover: Jones–Pereira Could Headline a Reworked Card

A mailbag-style piece argues UFC White House can’t be rebuilt from scratch, but it can be salvaged by retooling key matchups (making Jones vs. Pereira the new main event and moving Topuria vs. Gaethje to the co-main), adding a few marquee fights (e.g., Bo Nickal vs. Gable Steveson; Derrick Lewis) and even joking about a Dana White–Eddie Hearn boxing crossover inside the cage. It also tackles MMA scoring under new rules, speculates on MVP Netflix cards, and invites questions on related combat-sports topics like walkout songs.
