President Donald Trump revealed plans last week to have an UFC card at the White House to celebrate the 250th birthday of the United States next year.
“Each of our national parks, battlefields and historical sites will have special events in honor of ‘America250’, and I even think we are going to have an UFC fight,” Trump said in a speech in the Fairgrounds of the Iowa state last week in a direction on the eve of July.
It would be an unprecedented event, and the president of UFC, Dana White, promises “the most bad card of all time.”

“Everyone wants to fight in this letter. Literally to all,” White said the “Podcast Full Send” this week.
So much so, White confirmed that Jon Jones, who announced his retirement on June 21, “he jumped back in the [drug-testing] pool.”
When asked if that was official, White replied: “Oh, yes.”
After Jones withdrawal, his heavyweight title was for Tom Aspinall. Therefore, it is not difficult to imagine which is the “main event” of White.

“The main event of dreams at this time would be Aspinall Vs. Jones,” White said, without hesitation.
Jones almost confirmed this week that he would be fighting at the White House.
“At the time I heard Donald Trump’s announcement, I began to train again,” Jones said on Thursday X.
Conor McGregor quickly showed interest in fighting in the White House, and White even said McGregor “could be” on the same card as Jones in the capital of the nation.
“McGregor has reached a point where he is and will be, whether he stops fighting or not, one of the largest superstars of sports, point,” White said.
McGregor, 36, fought for the last time in 2021, when he lost to Dustin Poirier after breaking a leg during the fight. He was scheduled to fight Michael Chandler in UFC 303 in June, but the fight was called after his finger broke during training.
