The UFC is set to stage a one-of-kind event at the White House in June. The date for the card was initially expected to be June 14, the birthday of President Donald Trump. But recent reports surfaced of the card being postponed to June 26. However, White has since refuted the rumors, assuring fans that the event will take place on June 14, Trump’s birthday.
Media to Blame
White wrote on Instagram Stories: “Media is so full of s—t. White House fight. Date is the same, Sunday, June 14.”
The idea for the card was initially floated in June last year. The event will be held on the South Lawn of the White House, with potentially four to five title fights on the card. According to White, the $20 million budget for Noche UFC at the Sphere in 2024 is “ashtray money” compared to the cost of the White House card. A plethora of UFC stars have been calling for a spot on the card since it was first announced.
