The fight night is scheduled for June 14 on the South Lawn of the American president's residence. The event is timed to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the US Declaration of Independence.
White said that the UFC team is already preparing several concepts for the show. “We are flying to Washington to meet President Trump and his team to discuss not only the organization but also the lineup of the fights,” said the head of the promotion in a conversation with MMA Fighting.
According to White, there are three different options on the table concerning everything related to the event — from the format and number of fights to technical details. “We'll see what he likes and what he doesn't,” he added, emphasizing that the final decision will be made after Trump's personal approval.
The head of the UFC called the upcoming event truly unique: “This event will be simply amazing, special, and very expensive.” He noted that implementing such a scale will require enormous financial investments, but the result will exceed all expectations.
