Is Jon Jones retired?
Jon Jones announced his retirement of MMA in June, but he was quickly reversed about that decision.
The proud American expressed his desire to fight during the UFC event of July 2026 in the White House.
However, Dana White recently closed Jones' Comeback -Drome after UFC 318 last weekend.
The UFC -CEO claimed that he 'cannot risk' to place Jones in important positions after he withdrew from a fight with heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall.
Jones was 'disappointed' by the comments of White, but he refused to give up his dream of the White House.
According to all the reports, he still seems determined to make a comeback after one of the shortest retirement of all time.
