The promise of a UFC event in the White House garden is being hyped by Dana White. The CEO stated that a massive card is in the works and even compared it to a kind of "Sphere on steroids," in reference to UFC 306, held at the 'Sphere' in Las Vegas in September of last year. Recently, President Donald Trump announced an Ultimate promotion at the seat of government for July 2026.

"Obviously, everyone wants to fight on that card. And that's good, because we're going to put on the best card we've ever done for that White House event. Think about what I'm going to do for that fight, and then think about what (President) Trump is going to do for that fight," Dana White said in an interview with 'PatMcAfeeShow'.

"It's a unique experience. Just like when we did 'Sphere,' it's the Sphere on fire! It's going to be a unique event, and it'll never be the same again," said the UFC CEO.

UFC White House will be pay-per-view and will have a historic setting overlooking the Washington Monument

The UFC president has already confirmed that the event will be broadcast on pay-per-view and that he intends to put together the best possible card for the historic occasion. He also emphasized the venue's grandeur, explaining that the fights will take place on the South Lawn of the White House, with an imposing view of the Washington Monument in the background, creating a unique backdrop for the competition.

"It's going to be a pay-per-view card. The best card we can put together. We'll be on the South Lawn, and literally, when you're watching the fight, this entire area will be the White House, and behind it will be the Washington Monument," White said.

Regarding the event's organization, Dana White revealed that the team has already begun logistical work, including a visit to the White House to align with local staff. Soon, he plans to travel to Washington, D.C., to meet directly with President Donald Trump and finalize the project's details, ensuring everything runs as planned.

"We're now starting the logistics part. My team already visited the White House with the people there. Now we're putting the project together. We'll all fly to DC, sit down with him, and see what he wants to do," concluded the UFC president.
