Jon Jones has insisted he has not retired from mixed martial arts, as he eyes a spot on the planned 2026 White House fight event – despite UFC president Dana White dismissing his chances.
This summer, White announced that Jones had retired, putting an end to a long saga in which the UFC legend had declined to defend his heavyweight title against interim champion Tom Aspinall. The latter was elevated to regular champion, and his first title defence is due on 25 October.
