Dana White has announced that the White House will be hosting an Ultimate Fighting Championship cage fight.

Dana White has announced that the White House will be hosting an Ultimate Fighting Championship cage fight.

White said plans are underway for the event to take place on the South Lawn.

Speaking to the Wall Street Journalabout the possibility of a fight at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave, White said, “That is going to happen.”

CBS News reports, “White said he spoke with President Donald Trump Monday night about the event and plans to meet with Mr. Trump and Ivanka Trump at the end of this month to finalize details and review venue renderings. A source familiar with the planning confirmed that the White House expected the event to happen.”

“When he called me and asked me to do it, he said, ‘I want Ivanka in the middle of this,'” White said. “So Ivanka reached out to me, and her and I started talking about the possibilities, where it would be and, you know, I put together all the renderings.”

The report added that the event will take place on Independence Day next year.

No potential fighters for the matches have been announced at this time.

Trump floated the idea of a fight at the White House during a rally last month.

“We’re going to have a UFC fight, think of this, on the grounds of the White House. We have a lot of land there. We’re going to build a little — we’re not, Dana’s going to do it. Dana’s great. One of a kind,” Trump said at a “Salute to America” event in Iowa.

Trump said it would be a “championship fight” and that the grounds could hold a crowd of 25,000 people.

White and Trump have been friends for years, and the president is a regular at the events. He always draws massive applause from fans in the arenas as he enters.

this isn’t a good thing, at all.

politics and sport fighting are different and do not mix comfortably.

sport fighting is a nod to our animal history and the lingering traits which cloud our (political) judgement.

politics is an attempt to stave off savagery and work towards discussion, agreement, harmony and civility.

if the animal element is celebrated where the mindful political element should be, it is a metaphor for the wider loss of civility.

this represents the victory of force over discussion for the US. resist this unacceptable move.

The 16th President of the United States of America, Abraham Lincoln, was a catch-as-catch-can wrestler who is enshrined in the National Wrestling Hall of Fame as an “Outstanding American” for his many great accomplishments with a purported record of 300-1.

You can put that in your pipe and smoke it.

We all love MMA but goddamn, this is as white trash as it gets. Not a good look for anyone.

Is Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Camacho reffing or doing the play by play?

i went to spark it up but there’s nothing to smoke.

being a politician and a wrestler is a tad different. trying to equate that with setting up mma fights on the fucking white house lawn is quite a tragic scene of failed argumentation.

no offence intended.

Problem is it happening under this presidency brings a bunch of baggage, faux outrage and general drama that wouldnt have been there if it had happened like 15-20 years ago.

Also it would have worked better 15-20 years ago because the UFC felt much more American back then and had an abundance of elite US fighters to put on the card. Imagine you could have had stuff like Brock vs Carwin, Chuck vs Randy etc etc. Nothing like that can be done now really.

If this will have 20-25k attendance like Trump said, it could be cool.

If it will be closed off like Dana said, boring and lame.
