BREAKING: Jon Jones has announced he is “confident” he will be fighting at Donald Trump’s highly anticipated UFC event at the White House. Speaking to TMZ Sports just hours ago, Jones expressed a “very strong feeling” that he will be part of the historic card, although no official date has been set.
While the event is still in the planning stages, UFC President Dana White revealed he will meet with Trump soon to finalize logistics. Jones, a former heavyweight champion and a known supporter of Trump, stated, “That’s the goal,” when asked about his participation at LAX earlier today.
Jones added, “We haven’t had a conversation about it,” indicating that while discussions are yet to begin, he remains optimistic about securing a spot. He hinted that this match could be both his comeback and farewell to mixed martial arts, having retired in June 2023.
“Who knows what the future holds?” Jones added, leaving fans eagerly wondering about his next move.
Fellow UFC fighter Khalil Rountree also weighed in on the potential card, noting that while he would need a “serious cash” incentive to fight outdoors, he is excited about the prospect of seeing Jones back in the octagon.
With White targeting a date of July 4, 2026 for the event, fans and fighters alike are buzzing with anticipation. The intersection of sports and politics at such a high-profile venue promises to create unprecedented excitement in the MMA community.
As plans unfold, all eyes will be on Jones and the UFC as they prepare for what could be a groundbreaking event. Stay tuned for the latest updates as this story develops, and share with fellow fight fans eager for more details!
