Jones Makes White House Fight Despite Billion-to-One Odds

Jon Jones is reportedly set to face Alex Pereira at the UFC's White House event, despite Dana White initially giving it billion-to-one odds of happening.

Despite Dana White's initial assessment of "billion-to-one odds," Jon Jones appears set to fight at the UFC's White House event. The likely opponent is Alex Pereira, who recently vacated the light heavyweight title.

Jones, who previously reneged on a heavyweight title fight and retired before unretiring upon hearing about the White House card, is negotiating the deal. The bout could potentially be for the interim heavyweight title, with Pereira having already made sacrifices to make history.
