UFC card at the White House undergoes significant alterations with fresh details surfacing about the landmark event, as per Dana White's announcements.
The UFC is set to make history with its upcoming event, the UFC White House card, scheduled to take place on the south lawn in Washington D.C. in June 2026. This unique fight card, intended to celebrate the 250th birthday of the United States, promises to be a spectacle unlike any other.
The UFC's biggest superstar, Conor McGregor, and former UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones, have expressed their interest in making a comeback on this historic bill. McGregor, who has been inactive since 2021, has declared his intentions to return on the UFC White House card, four years on from his defeat to Dustin Poirier. Jones, who vacated his UFC heavyweight title earlier this year and has re-entered the drug testing pool, has expressed his desire to be a part of the event. However, Dana White, the UFC kingpin, has stated that Jones will not be offered a bout on the bill.
The event will feature the UFC octagon, which presents several obstacles, including its weight, that need to be overcome. Fans may be able to catch the weigh-ins and visit the Lincoln Memorial the night before the event. The UFC is planning to include light and firework shows, as well as giant screens on the lawn, to enhance the overall experience.
The UFC White House card is expected to be stacked with big names, with Dana White aiming to get as many as possible. While Ronda Rousey has ruled out her own return on the UFC White House card, emerging female star Kayla Harrison could be in the running. McGregor's potential opponent is yet unclear, but he has named Michael Chandler as a likely option. Notably, McGregor and Chandler were set to fight in 2024, but McGregor pulled out injured.
Meetings between Donald Trump and Dana White regarding the bill have taken place, indicating the event's high-profile status. The UFC White House card is expected to feature fighters who have publicly supported the current administration, but no official details on the participating fighters have been confirmed yet.
With the UFC White House card now set to take place in June 2026, fans are eagerly awaiting the official lineup and the opportunity to witness this historic event.
