UFC Confirms Event at the White House for July 4, 2026
The UFC CEO, Dana White, has confirmed that the organization will hold a live event at the White House on July 4, 2026. The news was revealed through a video posted on social media, where White assured that the details of the event will be announced in the coming weeks. The idea of a UFC event on the White House grounds was first mentioned by former President Donald Trump last month, as part of the celebrations for the 250th anniversary of the United States.Trump, a known friend and fan of the UFC, has been a staunch supporter of this event. White has largely avoided answering questions about potential fights that will take place at the proposed event. Many prominent names in sports have publicly expressed their interest in participating, including Conor McGregor and Jon Jones. However, White considered the chances of Jones’ participation to be low due to his recent retirement and his history outside the octagon.“It was a great day. I’m about to take off from Washington, D.C. The event at the White House is confirmed. I will have more details in the coming weeks. We did it today.”
