American President Donald Trump has announced that the UFC will hold an event on the White House grounds in 2026, as part of celebrations for the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.

No additional details regarding a date or any bouts for the card have been confirmed. But, the UFC has reposted President Trump’s announcement via social media. At a recent rally in Iowa, President Trump informed his supporters of the plan (quote via MMA Fighting.com).

“Does anybody watch UFC? The great Dana White. We’re going to have a UFC fight on the grounds of the White House. We have a lot of land there. Dana’s going to do it. Dana’s great, one of a kind. We’re going to have a UFC fight, a championship fight, like full fight, 20, 25,000 people and we’re going to do that as part of 250 also.”

White has been a vocal supporter of President Trump for years and has campaigned for the President at the Republican National Convention. The American President has attended numerous UFC cards to date.
