Jon Jones has finally broken his silence. Following Dana White’s revelation that the UFC is working to stage a fight card at the White House. The former two division champion stunned fans earlier this year when he announced his retirement from mixed martial arts.

Annoyed by his antics, UFC CEO Dana White has barred Jon Jones from competing at the once-in-a-lifetime event. Still, Jones seemed optimistic about his future with the UFC during a recent social media update. The 38-year-old discussed an injury he’s dealing with before talking up his MMA return on Instagram.

Former Jon Jones rival Daniel Cormier believes the fight promotion needs to put Jones on the 2026 UFC event at the White House.
