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."

Jon Jones’ retirement announcement shocked the UFC and entire MMA world, mainly because Jones’ career ended on an anticlimactic note with glaring asterisks.

U FC CEO Dana White may have set the odds for Jon Jones participating in the proposed July 4 card at the White House at "a billion to one," during the UFC 319 post-fight press conference, but the former light heavyweight and heavyweight champion sees White's statement as a door not entirely shut.
