“100%. Jon, you’re always welcome to come over to MVP,” Paul told Netflix. “We’ll get it popping, and we’ll get you paid what you deserve.”
Jones kept the UFC heavyweight division hanging for over a year, while Dana White promised that he would fight interim champion Tom Aspinall. However, Jones unceremoniously retired in June 2025 without fighting Aspinall. Plans for the White House card were announced weeks following Jones’ retirement. The former two-division champion immediately returned to the drug testing pool and has since been rallying for a spot on the UFC White House card.
While White always sounded skeptical regarding Jones at the White House, it was never out of the conversation. When the card was finally announced last weekend, Jones wasn’t a part of it. While White said Jones was never even considered, “Bones” went on a rant, hinting that he was in negotiations with the UFC. Jones has publicly asked for his release from the UFC.
