Jon Jones continues to claim that he is working on a return to the UFC in 2026 during the Mega event that is aimed at the White House.
After a heavyweight Saga that lasted for months, Dana White announced the official pension of Jon Jones last month after the first event of the promotion in Baku, Azerbaijan.
Not long after, the US President Donald Trump revealed that on July 4, 2026 the UFC will hold a spectacular event in the White House, which immediately received the attention of Jon Jones.
The former UFC champion Heavyweight then claimed a daring statement that he had already taken steps to re-enter the UFC-Anti-Doping test pool, which briefly ran his pension while a return to the White House event.

Jones responds to offering fighting against Fedor Emelianenko on alternative to the White House
Although 'Bones' made it clear that he wanted to be part of the unique event, Dana White closed the comeback dream of Jones, referring to the fact that he cannot trust Jones at such a big event.
And with that the Greatest Fighter of all time of the consensus was in Russia last weekend in an IBA Bare Knuckle Boxing Show where he was brought as a guest of honor.
During the event, Jones got an alternative fight from the White House through the head of Ibo -boxing, Al Siesta, which he then refused.
“Jon, do you know that card at the White House, are you participating?” Siesta asked.
“I would like to be, I work there,” Jones replied.
“Listen to this, if that doesn't happen, I have an alternative to you. Red square, would you want it to happen on the red square?” Siesta offered.
“I am contractually compulsory for the UFC for a very long time,” Jones said.
“No, listen if we agree with Dana White, we take you to the red square as an alternative to the map of the White House, Dana, I will talk to you … I get someone like Fedor (Emelianko), two boxers,” Siesta offered.
“No. Nobody wants to see Fedor and I am fighting, I don't want to fight against Fedor, I am absolutely fond of Fedor, he has long been one of my big idols. It is the same with Anderson Silva, these guys have inspired me in my youth and that will never change,” Jones has rejected the offer.
Joe Rogan called Fedor Emelianenko the greatest heavyweight ever
Fedor Emeliansko is now 48 years old and has not fought in professional MMA since 2023 when he was eliminated by Ryan Bader.
Although he has never fought under the UFC banner, UFC icon Joe Rogan often labels Fedor as the greatest heavyweight hunter of all time for his early dominance in sport.
