One of the most high-profile fighters that’s pushed the hardest to be part of the historic event has been former two-division champion Jon Jones . UFC CEO Dana White has all but closed the door on Jones competing at the White House citing it being too big of a ‘risk.’ “I can’t risk putting him (Jones) in big positions, in a big spot and have something go wrong,” said White during the UFC 318 Post-Fight Press Conference on July 19. “Especially the White House card.” Jones has an unlikely ally in his pursuit to fight at the White House, fellow former two-division UFC titleholder and rival Daniel Cormier .
