Dana White has said he ‘can’t risk’ putting someone like Jon Jones at the top of a UFC White House card.In the last few weeks, former UFC heavyweight champion Jones has reversed his decision to retire from MMA.Jones said he would want to fight whoever was the champion at UFC White HouseGettyHe quit the sport last month, feeling like he had no new challenges to overcome, meaning Brit Tom Aspinall, who was the interim champion at the time, was elevated to undisputed status.However, when US President Donald Trump declared his intentions to put on a first-ever fight card at the White House, Jones was immediately interested.He has since spoken out about his decision, saying he would want to challenge whoever was the UFC heavyweight champion upon his return to the sport.But UFC CEO White doesn’t seem to be keen on that idea.White was asked if he would support Jones returning to his promotion for an immediate title shot at the White House card after UFC 318 on Saturday night.“It’s not about him just winning the belt,” White responded, speaking during the event’s post-fight press conference.“You know how I felt about him. I can’t risk putting him in big positions—in a big spot—and have something go wrong.“Especially the White House card.”Aspinall is yet to make the first defence of his heavyweight title, but is likely to take on No. 1 contender Ciryl Gane before the New Year.He is one of the deadliest fighters in UFC history and would likely still hold the crown by the time Jones returned to the promotion on July 4, 2026.View Tweet: https://twitter.com/ufc?ref_src=twsrc%5EtfwWhite said Jones featuring at UFC White House would be a riskGettyConor McGregor, meanwhile, has also confirmed his interest in featuring on the card.“I’m going home, going to get the head down, going to rest. They’re testing me, I’m in the pool!” he said.“So get ready and stay ready, because damage will be done. Oval Office, White House garden!”Should Jones and McGregor feature on the anniversary card, it could go down as the greatest in the UFC’s history.White has already promised it will be the biggest card of all time.“Whoever actually gets to be there live, it will be such a unique, amazing experience in their lifetime to be able to go to this fight,” he said.McGregor has also confirmed his desire to fight on the cardGetty“For us, when you think about when the fight is going on, while the fight is happening and we’re filming, one whole side of the backdrop will be the White House.“The other side will be the Washington Monument — it’s so unique, so bad a** and so one-off.”White was speaking after Max Holloway put on an incredible display at UFC 318 to outpoint Dustin Poirier.It was Poirier’s last dance in the octagon, as he announced his imminent retirement from the sport in the build-up to the bout.He goes down as one of the greatest of all time, having mixed it up with a plethora of UFC legends, including Khabib Nurmagomedov and McGregor.Fans now eagerly anticipate his induction into the UFC Hall of Fame.
