UFC fighter Jon Jones is back in the competition after announcing his retirement just a few months ago. According to Dana White, Jones has reentered the drug testing pool and expressed interest in fighting at the highly anticipated White House card next year.
The event, scheduled for 1600 Penn, aims to celebrate America’s 250th birthday. President Donald Trump is said to be hoping to host the card, with UFC fans eagerly awaiting the main event between Jones and Tom Aspinall.
Jones had previously stated his desire to fight again after feeling undervalued in the MMA world. He now sees an opportunity to prove himself at a unique venue – the White House. “I don’t care who I fight that night,” Jones said, “I found my reason why.”
Despite having been appointed heavyweight champion before announcing his retirement, Jones is not avoiding Aspinall but rather waiting for the right moment to face him. With only 358 days until the big event, fans are expecting a stacked card with several high-profile fighters.
As White plans to make the event a showcase of top talent, fans are in for an exciting ride ahead.
