In June, the former two-weight UFC champion confirmed his retirement of MMA, but it didn't take long.
Jon Jones completed a U-turn after it was revealed that a UFC event will take place in the White House in July 2026.
Now he has been called by one of the most division fighters in MMA, who wants to face the greatest of all time in an open weight.

Colby Covington calls on Jon Jones
Former interim -Welterwet weight champion Colby Covington has brought himself forward as a potential opponent for Jones to be confronted in the White House.
'Chaos' is not stunned by the fact that he weighs about 90 pounds less than his old roommate of the university.
“Oh, 100 percent. I would fight Jones in an open weight class, so 100 percent,” Covington told The Will Cain Show of Fox News Channel.
“I had to fight there. The 250th celebration of America, what better way than to do it with the greatest promoters of all time, Donald Trump and Dana White and Hunter Campbell?
“So it would be my great honor to fight in the White House on July 4, 2026.”
Jon Jones does not like Colby Covington
It is a fight that Jones may entertain, simply because he doesn't look like Covington.
In May Jones mentioned the most overrated hunter in the UFC during an interview with Vicblends.
“UFC hunter overrate? That's funny,” he said.
“I could say his name, but it's really just because I don't like him.
“Saying his name gives him influence, what I don't want to do.
“His initials are 'cc', and he is a total D ——–.
“If you look at the sport, I think people will know who I am talking about.”
