UFC Legend Jon Jones Hints at Comeback From Retirement to Fight at the White House

WASHINGTON, D.C., JUL 5 – Jon Jones reversed his June retirement by rejoining the UFC drug testing pool to keep his options open for a potential 2026 return and a White House event, UFC officials said.

  • Two weeks ago, Jon Jones stepped away from the UFC and relinquished the heavyweight championship, resulting in Tom Aspinall being named the new titleholder.
  • Jones' retirement came amid legal trouble from a February hit-and-run incident in New Mexico involving an intoxicated woman found at the scene.
  • Recently, Jones re-entered the UFC anti-doping testing pool, which lasted about two weeks, signaling a possible comeback and interest in fighting again.
  • President Donald Trump announced his intention to hold a UFC event on the White House lawn as part of the celebrations for America's 250th anniversary.
  • Jones has hinted at participating in the White House event, indicating his retirement may not last long, which could add renewed excitement to UFC's historic celebration.
