UFC is “definitely” coming to the White House in summer 2026.
That’s according to UFC CEO Dana White, who has a longstanding relationship with President Donald Trump. While it’s still too early to name talent for the all-star lineup, White will be heading to Washington, D.C. at the end of the month to work out the logistics for what could be the most watched MMA event in the history of television.
Ironically, CBS currently holds that record thanks to Kimbo Slice and EliteXC.
“It is definitely gonna happen,” White told CBS Mornings. “I talked to him last night, him being the president, and I’m flying out there at the end of this month. I’m gonna sit down and walk him through all the plans and the renderings, and we’re gonna start deciding what he wants and doesn’t want. But yeah, it’s definitely gonna happen. Think about this: when you were just asking me at the beginning, how I felt about where we are today … July 4th, 25th birthday of the United States of America live on CBS from the White House.”
You can thank the “spiritualism” from a certain jiu-jitsu blue belt.
“When [Trump] called me and asked me to do it, he said, ‘I want Ivanka in the middle of this,’ so Ivanka reached out to me, and her and I started talking about the possibilities, [like] where it would be,” White continued. “I put together all the renderings. I’m flying out there at the end of the month and I’m gonna sit down with those two and start figuring it out.”
Here’s the video of White on CBS Mornings:
I honestly don’t get what WH has to do with MMA
A sport that was buried and banned from operating in most states just 30ish years ago will now be a featured event at the White House on the countries 250th birthday.
While I don’t watch anymore that is a pretty damn impressive feat
Trump and Dana are buds. That is all . USA
Great way to celebrate the country’s 25th birthday. I still remember when i was child and my father was fighting the redcoats. Good times.
I thought WH was about politics, not about featuring MMA events lol
Not celebrating cheap insurance, Broheim
Did you wake up this morning and decide to be a gigantic faggot or something?
From the outside, the U.S. government’s policies seem like a bit of a circus, thats all
whats next monster truck event? 
how about dont watch…Im from the USA and 90 percent of UFC goers are big fans of Trump in case u havent watched the ovations he gets at UFC events
Don’t put me to the test…
There A Lawn or 2M Dollar Ball Room Now Big enough for an Octagon too
Woke Reddit is in full meltdown mode… Miserable faggots
Crazy the timing of this deal combined with Colbert cancellation
We must have very different definitions of ‘full meltdown’
All I saw was people making fun of it.
