Jon Jones says missing UFC White House is one of the biggest regrets of his life: ‘I should have been there’

Former UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones stated that failing to compete on the UFC White House card is one of the biggest regrets of his life. Speaking to The Schmo, Jones expressed remorse over missing the event after unsuccessfully campaigning for a spot following a brief retirement. With the event having passed, Jones indicated that he will most likely never fight again inside the Octagon.

Jones last competed at UFC 309, where he defeated Stipe Miocic to defend his heavyweight title before initially retiring. Despite attempting to reverse his retirement and make amends with the promotion, the UFC moved forward without him, booking an interim heavyweight title fight featuring Ciryl Gane and Alex Pereira instead.
