Jones Makes White House UFC Card Despite Billion-to-One Odds

The UFC heavyweight contender is reportedly negotiating a deal to face Alex Pereira on the card celebrating America's 250th anniversary. White had previously stated the odds of Jones making the event were "a billion-to-one" given Jones' history of backing out of commitments and retiring unexpectedly.

The fight could potentially be for the interim heavyweight title, with Tom Aspinall's return timeline uncertain. The event coincidentally falls on President Donald Trump's 80th birthday, though organizers insist this is purely coincidental.
