BREAKING: Jon Jones is poised to make a stunning comeback, confirming he has a “very strong feeling” he will fight at Donald Trump’s upcoming UFC event at the White House. Speaking to TMZ Sports just hours ago, Jones expressed his excitement, stating, “That’s the goal.” This news comes as UFC president Dana White plans to meet with Trump soon to finalize the details of this historic event.
While an official date has yet to be set, White hinted at a possible target of July 4, 2026 for the event. “It’s definitely something we are working on,” White told reporters, generating immense buzz among MMA fans eager for this unique spectacle. Jones, a significant supporter of Trump, demonstrated his enthusiasm by exchanging an autograph for a MAGA hat during an encounter at LAX.
Jones, who retired from mixed martial arts in June, indicated that this fight would potentially be both his comeback and farewell. “I have a very strong feeling that I’ll be fighting that night, for sure,” he reiterated, hinting at a possible final chapter in his storied career.
Jones is not the only fighter speaking out about the potential card; UFC colleague Khalil Rountree also weighed in, expressing support for Jones fighting at the event. He mentioned it would require “serious cash” for him to fight outdoors but is eager to see Jones take center stage.
This event is shaping up to be a significant moment not only for the UFC but also for fans of both Jones and Trump. The combination of mixed martial arts and political celebrity has the potential to draw a massive audience, and the buzz is palpable as both fighters and fans await further announcements.
As the details continue to unfold, all eyes will be on UFC and White House officials to confirm the date and lineup. With July 4, 2026, tentatively in sight, it won’t be long before we see if Jones steps back into the octagon for this momentous occasion.
