Jon 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.

UFC president Dana White spoke Sunday about the early plans for a UFC fight at the White House in 2026.

UFC President Dana White endorsed the idea enthusiastically and superstar Conor McGregor expressed interest in participating.
