Jon Jones and Poatan have a verbal agreement.

Both Poatan and Jones have expressed interest in facing each other on several occasions. After knocking out Magomed Ankalayev and to regain the light heavyweight (up to 93 kg) belt in UFC 320The Brazilian stated that his next fight should be in the heavyweight division (up to 120,2 kg).

According to Jones, turning the fight into reality would be the best option not only for the athletes involved, but also for the UFC. However, even with mutual interest, both still need to convince Dana White. The UFC CEO has already stated that he doesn't trust Jones enough to put the main attraction of one of the biggest events in history in the hands of the former champion, who has been involved in several controversies outside the octagon and was even the reason for the cancellation of UFC 151 in 2012.
