UFC CEO Dana White all but nixed the idea of Jon Jones fighting at the promotion’s proposed event at the White House in 2026, saying, „I would not bet on it.“
Dana White has no intention of booking Jon Jones to the promotion’s proposed event at the White House in 2026, despite Jones’s interest in being involved.
Jones, 38, retired from MMA in June instead of accepting a UFC heavyweight title unification bout against interim champion Tom Aspinall. Just weeks after his retirement, however, Jones announced he was already planning a comeback and cited the UFC’s plans to host an event at the White House as the reason.
Despite Jones’s desire to fight on the card, White all but nixed the idea Saturday.
