Jon Jones posted several messages on X with some of them discussing his potential next fight. ‘Bones’ has been in Russia spending time with Khamzat Chimaev and Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov. The former UFC heavyweight and light heavyweight champion enjoyed his time in the country and posted several clips of his activities there. ‘Bones’ was taken down by Chimaev and he shot a lot of guns in Russia, but there was also time for him to discuss his next fight. Jones has been pushing for a clash against current UFC light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira. The pair have gone back and forth regarding their desire to face off at the UFC White House event next year. Jones has been part of the main event in each of his UFC appearances in the last 15 years. However, he was willing to give up the main event slot if he fought Pereira at the White House with no title on the line. A fan asked him about this and Jones replied with one word: “Absolutely!” Check out Jon Jones’ reply to the fan below: Jones’ last UFC card where he wasn’t the main event or fought for a title was against Ryan Bader. This fight took place at UFC 126 in February 2011. Dana White unsure about Jon Jones fighting at the UFC White House While Jon Jones continues to push for a fight at the White House, UFC president Dana White isn’t too sure about this. White is still upset with Jones over the American’s decision to turn down a fight with current UFC heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall. White claimed that Jones had signed a deal before he decided not to go ahead with the brawl. Speaking on the FLAGRANT podcast, the UFC president opened up about this situation: “I haven’t said yes or no to anybody yet, but I can’t put Jon Jones in a position where he can. I had a deal with him to fight Tom Aspinall, we had a deal and he said, ‘I am not going to do it.’” Jones has since apologized to White for his actions. No fights for the White House event have been confirmed with White planning for the card in February 2026.
