Jon Jones could get his White House dream after all, according to a retired fighter.
Currently, the UFC is working on one of the biggest events in combat sports history.
However, in the aftermath of not taking on Tom Aspinall, Dana White has given Jones odds of one billion to one of competing on that card.
However, one ex-mixed martial artist believes ‘Bones’ is still in line to get what he wants.

Jon Jones could fight on White House card, says Brendan Schaub
Brendan Schaub has an interesting theory on what’s going on with Dana White, stating Jon Jones is unlikely to feature on the UFC White House card.
The MMA star-turned-analyst believes the promoter is attempting to use reverse psychology on the legendary athlete.
In a video uploaded to his YouTube channel, the 42-year-old, said: “With Dana, it’s never say never, so you’re telling me there’s a chance.
“I think this is Dana’s way through the media, challenging Jon like, ‘I bet you won’t do it’. Jon’s like, ‘You don’t think I can’? Dana’s going, ‘Absolutely not, in fact, one billion to one, dude’. That’s going to get Jon to stay focused and stay out of trouble.
“If Jon Jones is healthy, back in the testing pool, ready to go, no issues, by the time they’re booking that White House card, I will guarantee you he’s on that card.
“The way to get Jon to do something is to tell him he can’t, and that’s what Dana is doing. It’s brilliant.”
