Jon Jones has explained that he does not care who he is fighting, as long as he can make his UFC Comback in the White House.
Legendary two-weight world champion Jones retired sensational last month, allowing Tom Aspinall to take the undisputed heavyweight title from him without the couple ever encountering. However, only a few weeks later he decided to return, with reference to his excitement to be on the Fight Night of President Donald Trump.
And although it seemed that the Aspinall match was dead, regardless of the pension status of Jones, it could now be on the table again. He has insisted that it does not matter who his opponent is, as long as he can represent his country at a huge and unprecedented stage.
Jon Jones explains why he decided to call UFC pension
As recently as a few days before the pension announcement of Jon Jones, the former UFC seemed to be heavyweight and light-heavyweight champion for a fight with Tom Aspinall. Dana White insisted that it had agreed, but it eventually fell on.
Jones then retired, but soon decided to go back to that decision when he heard that the UFC would organize a huge event on the Witte House Law to celebrate America's 250th birthday. And in a new series of tweets he confirmed that he has a new goal, making it not relevant who he is fighting.

“Donald made his announcement on the morning of the fourth July, I called the UFC head office that same afternoon,” Jones told a fan in one of the many tweets. “I just leave it behind. America! Now that tickles my pickle.”
In a late post he answered a fan who predicted 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 I needed, something that was more than money.”
Dana White focuses on Jon Jones vs Tom Aspinall for UFC White House Main Event
If Jones tells the truth that he is willing to face, as long as it means it is competing in the White House, then fans can simply get their wish from the Aspinall Super-Fight. Indeed, it is the number one choice of Dana White to head the entire show, even above a potential Conor McGregor -Comeback.
During a performance on the full shipping podcast, White was asked what fight he would like to headline, and the Nelk Boys immediately told that “the Dream Main Event would now be Aspinall vs Jones.”
Jones has also been introduced again in the UFC drug test pool, which means that an official decision has been made with regard to his comeback. White has sworn the event of the White House 'the worst card of all time', 'an exceptional pay-per-view card'.
