Jon Jones has his sights set on returning to action when the UFC goes to the White House for a historic event in 2026 and he already has an opponent in mind. Well technically, Jones is seeking the person holding onto the belt he relinquished after briefly announcing his retirement only to decide he wanted to compete again following President Donald Trump announcing plans to bring a UFC event to the White House as part of his plans for the America 250 celebration next July.

Jon Jones completed a U-turn after it was revealed that a UFC event will take place at the White House in July 2026. Now, he’s been called out by one of MMA’s most divisive fighters, who wants to face the greatest of all time in an open-weight bout.

Jon Jones is back in the UFC drug testing pool, according to Dana White. The former two-division UFC champion had only recently announced his retirement from MMA. However, Jones appears to have reversed that decision after it was announced that President Donald Trump will host a UFC event at the White House in 2026.
