In 2026, President Donald Trump revealed plans to host a UFC event at the White House, which is scheduled to coincide with the United States’ 250th anniversary festivities.
At the Iowa State Fairgrounds on July 3rd, Trump announced to his audience that UFC President Dana White intends to organize a fight event on the White House grounds. The plan is to host approximately 25,000 spectators for this event.
Trump stated, “There will be some extraordinary occasions, some expert gatherings, some novice events as well. However, the UFC fight is also going to be quite significant.
The declaration further strengthens Trump’s decades-long connection with combat sports, as he has consistently been a prominent attendee at significant UFC matches, such as UFC 302 and UFC 299.

Trump and Dana White’s enduring friendship
Over the past few decades, I’ve had a remarkable bond with the UFC’s visionary leader, Dana White. Back when the UFC was just starting out, he acknowledged that Donald Trump stood by its side. Fast forward to 2024, during the climactic night of the Republican National Convention, it was none other than Dana White who introduced Trump on stage.
Dana swiftly responded to the news via an Instagram story, exclaiming “This is going to be amazing!”. Regarding who might feature on the card, Connor McGregor has previously indicated his desire to come back to UFC for this fight.
He loves it! 🇺🇸👊

Should everything progress smoothly, the year 2026 could see a historic moment as the UFC, or any significant sports event, takes place for the first time on the White House grounds. Further specifics about the lineup and contestants will likely be shared nearer to the event’s date.
