UFC Confirms Event at the White House for July 4, 2026
UFC CEO Dana White announced that the organization will hold a live event at the White House on July 4, 2026. The news was confirmed via a video posted on social media on Thursday. The announcement comes after former President Donald Trump mentioned the idea of a UFC event in the White House gardens last month, as part of the country’s 250th anniversary celebration.Trump, known for his friendship and fondness for the UFC, has been a proponent of the idea. White has largely avoided answering questions about the event’s potential fights. Several prominent names in sports have expressed interest in participating. However, White has downplayed the possibility of Jon Jones being involved, citing his recent retirement and other issues.“It was a great day. I’m about to take off here from Washington, D.C. The White House event is underway. I’ll have more details in the coming weeks. We did it today,” White said in the video recorded from a plane.
