Former UFC Heavyweight Champion Jones broke a nerve with Matt Brown after a hint on a UFC Combackback from the White House.
A few days ago Jon Jones raised eyebrows, when the former UFC Heavyweight Champion announced that he had re -introduced the promotion drug test pool, just a few weeks after his retirement.
Jones, who retired after prolonged contract discussions with the UFC to sign the Tom Aspinall fight, will have to be on the sidelines for at least six months before they are eligible to return to the cage.
US President Donald Trump also made the headlines when he announced an upcoming UFC event in the White House for next year to help celebrate the 250th anniversary of the United States. Conor McGregor, Michael Chandler and other top stars have weighed on fighting during the event.

Matt Brown runs on the attitude of Jon Jones in the midst of the latest comeback plague of former champion
Such a star that is interested in a recommended competition in the White House is Jones, who shares a cordial relationship with President Trump and recently indicated on focusing a comeback fight in the American capital. While Jones has fired many fans with his new interest in fighting, not everyone is happy with the latest comments from the former title holder.
During a recent episode of MMA Fighting's The Fighter vs. The Writer Podcast, former UFC star Matt Brown responded to the latest comeback plates from Jones.
“I am the big Jones fan as everyone else,” Brown started on Jones. “I have always defended that he is not afraid of Tom, he is willing to fight someone. It is difficult not to fall into that story here. For me, fighting in the White House, it doesn't do that …
'I will tell you that this looks bad in my opinion. I have the most respect for Jon. I talk about it all the time. The guy kicked people-es while he was on cocaine. I did enough cocaine to know, I couldn't do that. Respect, Jon, you are a bad ——-. But this looks like a dive. “
'I will be very clear, I don't believe that Jon is afraid of him or he dives or one of S – but if he chooses not to fight, make the choice – when he comes back and fights [somebody else]He chooses not to fight Tom Aspinall, I don't know if we necessarily say that that is a bad look, but it says exactly what it is. He chose not to fight Tom Aspinall. That's not cool. “
In the meantime, Aspinall was promoted to undisputed heavyweight champion after the departure of Jones. He focuses on a return to the Octagon later this year, possibly against Ciryl Gane, Alexander Volkov or UFC Nashville Headliner Derrick Lewis.
Jones chose not to fight against Aspinall after months of negotiations, starting in the days after he finished Stipe Miocic on UFC 309. Jones won the then vacant heavyweight belt by submitting Gane to UFC 285.
Jon Jones returned to the training only a few weeks after pension announcement
In the midst of his comeback -plague, Jones put gas on the fire when he placed images of him who returned to training next to teammate Maurice Greene. UFC CEO Dana White recently shared a bewilder response to Jones who returned to the gym at the UFC 317 Post-Fight Press Conference.
Jones is generally considered one of the greatest UFC hunters of all time, but his abrupt leave of the Octagon has influenced his legacy in the heads of some fans. Aspinall has only fought once since earning the interim heavyweight title on UFC 295.
While Jones appears to be a potential return to the Achthoek, mixed reviews are relating to a comeback fight. We could learn more about Jones's Fighting Future in the coming months.
