Donald Trump is known for being a huge UFC fan, and the U.S. President wants to have a fight card right in his own backyard.
Trump spoke on Thursday about some of the special events he is planning for 2026, which will mark the 250th anniversary of the United States adopting the Declaration of Independence and becoming a country. As part of the celebration, Trump wants to have an official UFC fight at the White House.
“I even think we’re gonna have a UFC fight. Does anybody watch UFC, the great Dana White? We’re gonna have a UFC fight, think of this, on the grounds of the White House,” Trump said. “We have a lot of land there. We’re gonna build a little — we’re not, Dana’s gonna do it. Dana’s great, one of a kind. We’re gonna have a UFC fight, championship fight, full fight, like 20,000-25,000 people.”
