Expectations are going to get higher and higher. While the UFC White House will only take place in six months, on Donald Trump’s 80th birthday on June 14, the President of the United States has revived fantasies regarding the planned MMA fights. According to him, if no clash has been officially announced, there will be “8 or 9 title fights”.
“We will have the biggest fights in history, almost only for belts,” he said during the Kennedy Center Honors which he chaired this Sunday. He (Dana White, the president of the UFC) has even been putting fights aside for months for this card. It will be exceptional. »
The plans for the stadiums built for the occasion had already been revealed. And Donald Trump confirmed that it would be grandiose, with two speakers planned. “The arena will seat 5,000 or 6,000 right in front of the front gate of the White House. And there will be 100,000 people in the back where they will put 8 to 10 giant screens. It will be an exciting evening, a lot of people are asking for tickets,” he vowed.
However, it is difficult to know which fighters will be on display. Several current champions should, however, be there to put their belts on the line, such as Islam Makhachev, Valentina Shevchenko or Alex Pereira. MMA legends have also announced they want to participate, starting with Conor McGregor and Jon Jones. The first duels will be announced in the first months of 2026.
