LAS VEGAS – Dana White admits there are already obstacles to making the UFC White House event a reality.
U.S. president Donald Trump proposed hosting a UFC event on the grounds of the White House on July 4, 2026, and UFC CEO White plans on flying out to Washington at the end of the month to figure out logistics.
White is no stranger to organizing big events after putting together UFC 306 this past September at the Sphere in Las Vegas, labeling it as a love letter to Mexico. White was asked to explain the differences between the challenges of the Sphere vs. the White House.
“This is a different challenge,” White told MMA Junkie and other reporters Tuesday after DWCS 77. “I want to do it on the south lawn, and they have some weight issues. The octagon is 25,000 lbs so, it’s going to be incredibly challenging. And then the weather, which I hate and said I would never do again after Abu Dhabi. I don’t give a sh*t if it snows, we’re going to be out on that south lawn.”
Noche UFC won two Sports Emmys for Outstanding Graphic Design – Specialty and Outstanding Studio or Production Design/Art Direction.
