Daniel Cormier reveals the only fight that would make him support Jon Jones… ‘I would cheer so hard for him’

Daniel Cormier would support Jon Jones at Donald Trump’s UFC White House event

United States President Donald Trump recently announced a UFC White House event, planned as part of next year’s July 4 celebrations.

Talk since has surrounded the possible names who could headline such a showcase, especially with Kayla Harrison marking the only current American champion and the top 10 of the men’s pound-for-pound list containing zero Americans.

‘DC’ would want to see a compatriot having their hand raised to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, so much so that he’d even be cheering on Jones should he come out of retirement for the major event.

“(It needs) a bad, bad American that’s gonna win,” Cormier said. “It pains me to say, if we’ve gotta send one bad American out there to get the job done…call Jon Jones.

“I would cheer so hard for him! I would cheer so hard for him on the White House. I know you guys always say I’m hard on Jones, if we’ve gotta send one American fighter out to the White House to get a dub, man, send Jon Jones out there.

“I’ll call him to ask him,” Cormier added. “I love Colby (Covington), I love Michael (Chandler)…if we’ve gotta do one American dude, man, you better go put Jon Jones out there to go get us a dub as a country.”

Jon Jones claims to be back in the ‘testing pool’ after showing interest in a White House fight

It didn’t take long for Jones to address talk of fights on the White House lawn himself.

In a post on X, Jones joined Conor McGregor as another prominent, inactive fighter expressing interest in competing outside one of the world’s most famous buildings.

“Fighting at the White House? (eyes emoji)”

And he suggested the wheels were already in motion in a follow-up post.

“Just re-entered the testing pool, that lasted about two weeks. Figured we’d keep everyone’s options open.”

For now, Tom Aspinall will have his sights on the current crop of heavyweight contenders as his undisputed reign gets underway.

But if he still holds the title come 2026, perhaps he’ll find himself tasked with stalling Trump’s plan for a US championship victory at the White House.
