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."

Jones, 38, was expected to do a title unification fight with Tom Aspinall for well over a year but ended up vacating the belt, retiring, and putting the UFC heavyweight division on hold.

UFC president Dana White threw cold water on the idea that Jon Jones could compete in the event the company plans to stage at the White House in 2026.
