The unusual dream of promoting the UFC White House will become reality. Last Thursday (28), Dana White confirmed the historic event would take place on the day 4 July 2026, in Washington (USA), after an official meeting with representatives of the presidential residence. The card will be set up on the South Lawn of the US presidential residence and promises to mark an era in the history of the organization.
The idea had been discussed for months and was even announced by the President of the United States, Donald Trump, but faced logistical and structural doubts. Issues such as octagon setup, crowd attendance, and financial viability were a concern for the UFC president, who now claims to have resolved all obstacles to make the special show in celebration of Independence Day.

"I had a great day. I'm about to take off here from Washington, DC. We had a meeting at the White House. It couldn't have gone better. It's going to be amazing. The White House card is confirmed. I'll have more details on that in the coming weeks, but we closed the deal today," White said in a video posted on social media.
With the confirmation, the first speculations about possible participants also emerge. Jon Jones e Conor McGregor have already expressed interest in joining the historic card, but Dana White prefers to remain cautious. The director even ruled out the presence of Bones at the event, highlighting that the definitions will only be announced in the coming weeks.
