<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nDana White has added even more excitement to the UFC\u2019s planned White House event by making a bold statement about Alex Pereira\u2019s legacy. Speaking during a recent Forbes interview, the UFC president said Pereira could become the greatest fighter of all time if he wins an interim heavyweight title against Ciryl Gane at the proposed UFC Freedom 250 card. White argued that such a victory would put Pereira in a category of his own. The Brazilian star has already won championships in two UFC weight classes. According to White, capturing a third title at heavyweight would be something never seen before at that level of the sport. His comments quickly grabbed attention because they also reopened the long-running debate about who deserves the GOAT title in MMA. The timing made the discussion even bigger. The UFC White House event has already become one of the most talked-about ideas in combat sports. While White is promoting the historic possibilities surrounding Pereira, UFC commentator Joe Rogan<\/a> has previously expressed concerns about the event itself. That has created an interesting contrast as fans continue discussing what could happen if the card becomes reality.<\/p>\n <\/strong>During his interview with Forbes, Dana White explained why he believes an interim heavyweight championship win over Ciryl Gane would elevate Alex Pereira above Jon Jones in the GOAT conversation. White pointed to Pereira potentially becoming a champion across three different divisions, something that would stand out as one of the most remarkable achievements in UFC history.His comments arrived as discussions around the White House card continue to grow. The event, often referred to as UFC Freedom 250, is still one of the sport\u2019s most ambitious concepts.Joe Rogan has taken a different view when discussing the outdoor venue. In previous comments, Rogan called the idea a \u201cgimmick\u201d and questioned how weather conditions, insects, and general safety concerns could affect a major fight event. At the same time, he has also described the concept as uniquely American and acknowledged why it appeals to many fans.That difference in perspective has now become part of the story. Recent social media posts and videos have placed White\u2019s praise of Pereira alongside Rogan\u2019s concerns about the event, creating the impression of a debate ahead of the proposed card.For now, the White House event remains a major talking point. Whether Pereira gets the opportunity to face Ciryl Gane for an interim heavyweight title remains uncertain. Still, White\u2019s comments have already sparked fresh discussion about Pereira\u2019s place in MMA history and whether a third championship could change the GOAT conversation forever.<\/div>\nDana White says Alex Pereira could surpass
