Several of the sport&#8217;s biggest names have publicly expressed interest in participating, including Conor McGregor and Jon Jones. Regarding Jones&#8217; participation, White estimated the odds at &#8220;a billion to one,&#8221; due to his recent retirement and his history of problems outside the octagon.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UFC Confirms Event at the White House for 2026 UFC CEO Dana White announced that the live event to be held at the White House on July 4, 2026, is a done deal.
