Jon Jones can kiss his dreams of fighting at the White House goodbye.
Earlier this month, U.S. President Donald Trump made headlines when he announced that he would host a UFC fight card on the White House lawn in 2026 to commemorate the nation’s 250th birthday. At first, it seemed like another wild-eyed claim from the embattled POTUS. However, UFC CEO Dana White later revealed that the promotion was indeed working to put together an event at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
From that moment, every fighter under the UFC banner came out of the woodwork, declaring their desire to compete at the history-making event.
