"I feel like a bit of a natural at it" - Jon Jones confirms future plans with White House event potentially being his last fight

While Dana White is not on board with putting Jon Jones on the UFC White House card, 'Bones' sees the historic event as his perfect swansong, following which he could ride off into the sunset and explore other avenues.

During a recent appearance on the No Scripts Podcast, the former two-division champion narrated the dream scenario of how his fight career ends and what could potentially come afterward.

When the host quizzed him on whether a potential White House bout could be his final UFC appearance, Jones said:

"I hope so, man."

As the interviewer further probed about whether his sporadic acting gigs would become a more regular pursuit after his fighting days, 'Bones' responded:

"I definitely love acting. You know what? I do feel like a little bit of a natural at it. Maybe I'm not challenging myself with more difficult roles. So far, everything I've got to do, I'm playing myself. Yeah. So, I mean, stepping up, that would be a greater challenge to see if I actually really have skill in this, but acting would be nice. Yeah. And I think my most immediate goal is to try to be on the White House [card]."

Jon Jones shares hilarious perspective on his relationship with Dana White

It won't be unfair to say that while Jon Jones is one of the greatest talents to ever grace the UFC octagon, he has often been a promotional nightmare for Dana White.

From doping allegations to multiple run-ins with the law, 'Bones' always manages to find the spotlight. Nevertheless, White considers Jones the greatest fighter of all time.

Discussing White's apprehension about him and their complex relationship on the above-mentioned podcast, Jones said:

"When he's feeling me, I think I'm one of his favorite fighters. When he's not feeling me, yeah, I'm probably the reason why he has a bald head." [8:24 minutes into the interview]
