Jon Jones Pleads With Dana White To Let Him Fight At UFC’s White House Show In 2026
Jon Jones wants in on the card.
Among those in attendance at the Dirty Boxing Championship event on October 30th was former UFC Heavyweight and Light Heavyweight Champion Jon Jones.
Jones was in attendance to support Olympic gold medalist Gable Steveson. The two have trained together. Steveson was victorious in his boxing debut by besting Billy Swanson in 13 seconds via TKO.
Jones was interviewed at the event by The Schmo, and the UFC’s show at the White House in July 2026 was brought up. Jones pleaded with White to let him fight at the show.
“I know. I really hope it happens. Dana (White), bro, please bro, please. I’ve been training, I feel great, I’m healthy, and I would be so honored to represent our country, and do what I do best.”
