Donald Trump Announces Plans for UFC Fight at White House in 2026 for 'America 250'

President Donald Trump announced plans for a UFC bout at the White House in 2026 to commemorate 250 years of American independence.

“So every one of our national parks, battlefields and historic sites are going to have special events in honor of America 250. And I even think we’re going to have a UFC fight,” Trump said in Iowa on Thursday, per Darlene Superville and Hannah Fingerhut of the Associated Press.

″Think of this on the grounds of the White House," he added. "We have a lot of land there."

UFC also shared Trump's announcement in an Instagram post.

The president has attended several events from the promotion in the past, recently making an appearance at UFC 314 in April.

The upcoming fight at the White House is expected to take place with roughly 20,000 to 25,000 spectators.
