It appears the rumored UFC White House event actually has some legs.
Via a report from the Wall Street Journal on Friday, the Ultimate Fighting Championship is going ahead with next year’s event at the White House. In August, UFC chief Dana White said that the White House event was going to happen and that they “got it done today,” but did not reveal more information.
Per the Journal, the Octagon will be erected on the south lawn of the White House. The date is still in the air, as outlets have reported both June and July 2026, even with White adamant it will be held on July 4.
