Dana White has confirmed that Jon Jones is officially back in the UFC Drug Testing Pool.
The former two-weight UFC champion announced his retirement of MMA only a few weeks ago.
Jon Jones completed a U-turn pension after it was revealed that President Donald Trump will organize a UFC show in the White House in 2026.
'Bones' has since claimed that he has re-introduced the UFC test pool for medicines and made himself available to compete on the map.

Jon Jones explains pension U-turn
On Thursday evening, Jon Jones held a spontaneous Q&A with fans on social media.
Jones revealed the reason for his UFC pension U-turn and expressed the willingness to fight against everyone after he was previously accused of designing the new undisputed heavyweight champion, Tom Aspinall.
“Donald made his announcement on the morning of the fourth July, I called the UFC head office that same afternoon,” he said in one of his many tweets. “I just leave it behind. America! Now that tickles my pickle.”
In a later report he responded to a fan who predicts a classic fight of all time: “It would be, for me it is about the possibility of representing America in the White House. I don't care who I was fighting that night. I thought my reason was what I needed, something that was more than money.”
