Chances of Jones being on the White House card

[elcj]

is probably close to 100%.

Other than Harrison, he's the only American right now that is anything close to being a champion.

They need an American to win. If anyone can win, it's Jones.

Say what you want about him, but he's THE literal MMA GOAT. The White House fumbling having him fighting at this event, would be seen as a failure and also make the card underwhelming.

The UFC's current biggest star and future HOF wants this fight too.

Trumps ego is too big to pass on the opportunity to have the GOAT (who is also American) headline this event.

Yeh, Jon has to be on this card.

If Tom stops being a whiney puss and stops pretending he can't see maybe Jon can fight him.

Jones' fighting days are over. He will be spending his remaining days fulfilling his Catholic duties and spreading the sacred scriptures of Jesus Christ. Amen

I don't think you could risk having him on the card. He could fail a drug test, beat his wife, or who knows how many different things he could do to put a stain on this card.

Jonnyboy was real unlucky Tom quit because Gane was gonna cruise to a W there and then have the Jones vs Gane 2 set up at the White House

Those things would just make the card feel extra American

Aspinall blew his chances it looks like.

Eyegate massively plummeted his stock.
The UFC also can't trust him now.

Jones and Poatan want to fight each other and honestly that's the biggest fight they can make by far.

Other than that, what is there? Ilia vs Islam? Ilia vs McGregor? McGregor vs Chandler?
Even still, there is no legendary American or American Champ. Plus McGregor doesn't have his same aura anymore. AND those fights alone are still not enough.

Yea, or think it would be, Jones returns to fight Gane at the end of this year or top of next year - take the belt, then defend it vs Alex at the White House. That would have been perfect

Who the fuck is that guy?

That would've been highly improbable imo. Jones ain't taking a fight on two months notice, and aren't the cards mostly done anyways?

Guy has, if any, just one fight left and he wants it to be a big one at the white house. Not some fast and sloppy Gane rematch before the years end.

I think the odds of him being “booked” on the card are close to 100% , especially if they book him against Poatan because they know Alex will fight a last minute replacement fighter because he doesn’t give a fuck .
Now what are the odds Jones fucks it up and can’t fight for whatever reason , I think that’s closer to 50/50

The President is a literal convicted felon and sex offender.

Jones has been difficult over recent years but it was for things that clearly didn't mean much to him, but he will certainly show up for this.

Maybe, if he thinks he can safely dispatch Gane. But I guess, unlikely in reality

Yea true.
I think Jones ego is to big to allow himself to screw up and miss this event once booked.

 

[Otto!]

Risky move. Jon just can’t stay out of trouble, so you risk losing your main event due to drugs, problems with the law, pissing hot etc.

I think you are underestimating how spiteful Dana is...

I think you're overestimating their options

You've just got to hope Jones doesn't get himself arrested again, it's been just over a year since his last arrest so I feel like it's probably due.

Trump issues an executive order declaring Jon fights on that card, Dana submits
