An old rival of Jon Jones, who currently competes at welterweight, has claimed they would be open to fighting him at the White House. As we now know, Jon Jones has seemingly decided to break his mixed martial arts retirement – just a few weeks after he retired in the first place. The reason he’s done so is because the UFC announced they are planning on heading to the White House for a PPV event next summer. ‘Bones’, as you can probably imagine, can already see how much potential there would be in terms of earnings for just one fight.

Colby Covington only wants the biggest names possible in the UFC from here. Covington, known as much for his virulent trash talk as he is for his fighting ability, is one of the best welterweights of this generation.

UFC welterweight contender Ian Machado Garry has taken an interesting shot at welterweight veterans Kamaru Usman and Colby Covington. For Ian Machado Garry, Saturday night serves as a real opportunity for him to prove that he belongs amongst the elite at 170 pounds. He plans on taking out Carlos Prates which, if you’ve seen the Brazilian fight, is going to be no easy task. It may well be the toughest bout of the Irishman’s career to date, and that’s saying something given that he’s battled Shavkat Rakhmonov – although, Shavkat was reportedly injured at least during some of that fight.

UFC star Colby Covington has long had his eye on the WWE ring. If the reception he got at this weekend’s WrestleMania 41 event is any indication, he has already got the fans’ interest. In fact, they seem to hate him. Covington has been a staple of the UFC welterweight top-15 for years. He has fought three times for the division’s title. However, he came up short each time — twice against Kamaru Usman, and once against Leon Edwards. Despite his long-time relevance in the welterweight division, he has never made any secret of his hopes to perform in the WWE ring when his MMA career is over. After a decisive loss to Joaquin Buckley in his last fight, that time could be right around the corner.
