UFC Set to Make History at the White House

Get ready for an unprecedented clash of titans! Dana White has revealed that the UFC is gearing up for a groundbreaking event at the White House in 2026, promising an unforgettable card that could mark a major milestone in sports history.

Trump's Vision Sparks Excitement

This buzz was ignited after President Donald Trump expressed his desire to host a UFC card as part of America's 250th birthday bash. As speculation swirls, White is busy navigating the intricate logistics required for such a monumental gathering in Washington D.C.

Who Wants to Fight?

Although it's far too early for concrete fight matchups, the desire among fighters to partake is palpable. "Everybody wants to be on this card," White shared, indicating a flood of requests from fighters eager for a spot under the bright lights at a historical venue.

The Return of Jon Jones?

Among those keen to step into the octagon is the legendary former heavyweight champion Jon Jones, who might be considering a return from a brief retirement to possibly headline this spectacular event.

Too Soon for Matchups

Despite the excitement, White emphasized that it's premature to talk about specific fighters or matches. The dynamic nature of MMA means the landscape can shift dramatically in a year. "It’s literally a year away," he reiterated. "We wouldn’t even start building that card now."

A Pay-Per-View Extravaganza

One thing is clear: this will be a pay-per-view card like no other. White assured fans this will be the best lineup they can create, promising an event that could become a historic first at the White House.

Planning Underway for a Spectacular Event

While many details remain uncertain, plans are already in motion. White has confirmed the location will be on the South Lawn, offering fans an incredible view with the iconic White House as a backdrop and the Washington Monument in sight.

Next Steps in the Planning Process

White's team has already conducted an initial walkthrough with White House staff, and he is slated to travel to meet with Trump soon to finalize the event's specifics, including design and logistics. This could very well be the fight night of a lifetime!
