SB Nation on MSNJon Jones wants to face ‘whoever’s holding the belt’ at heavyweight on UFC White House cardJon Jones has his sights set on returning to action when the UFC goes to the White House for a historic event in 2026 and he already has an opponent in mind. Well technically, Jones is seeking the person holding onto the belt he relinquished after briefly announcing his retirement only to decide he wanted to compete again following President Donald Trump announcing plans to bring a UFC event to the White House as part of his plans for the America 250 celebration next July.
A UFC show at the White House is believed to be in the works after Donald Trump teased an event at his Washington residence. Speaking at a rally in Iowa, Trump said UFC CEO White will build the card which will feature a 'championship fight' as part of America's 250th anniversary celebrations next year.
