Jon Jones Declares Comeback as Dana White Rejects White House Headliner Bid

Critics question his credibility after a prolonged failure to unify the heavyweight title with Tom Aspinall.

Overview

  • Jones says he is not retired, trains five days a week and is in the UFC drug-testing pool as he targets a proposed White House card next June.
  • Dana White dismissed the plan, giving Jones “a billion to one” odds to headline the event and signaling a lack of trust.
  • Chael Sonnen argued Jones avoided undisputed champion Tom Aspinall and called the comeback narrative confusing.
  • Sonnen labeled Jones’ training claims as unverifiable, noting no public evidence of coaches or partners working with him.
  • With Tom Aspinall installed as undisputed champion, he is slated to defend against Ciryl Gane at UFC 321 in October.
