UFC's Dana White hints that recently retired Jon Jones, Conor McGregor could return for White House fights

It would be an unprecedented event, and UFC President Dana White is promising "the baddest card of all time."

So much so, White confirmed that Jon Jones, who announced his retirement June 21, "jumped back in the [drug-testing] pool."

When asked if that was official, White replied, "Oh yeah."

After Jones' retirement, his heavyweight title went to Tom Aspinall. So, it's not hard to imagine what White's "dream main event" is.

"The dream main event right now would be Aspinall vs. Jones," White said, without much hesitation.

Jones all but confirmed this week he'd be fighting at the White House.

"McGregor has gotten himself to a point where he is and will be, whether he stops fighting or not, one of the biggest superstars in sports, period," White said.

McGregor, 36, last fought in 2021, when he lost to Dustin Poirier after breaking a leg during the fight. He was slated to fight Michael Chandler at UFC 303 in June, but the fight was called off after he broke his toe during training.
