Jon Anik, UFC commentator in the US, participated in the 'JAXXON' podcast via YouTube and talked about how many title fights should take place in the... UFC White HouseJon believes that President Donald Trump may be telling the truth regarding the large number of title fights, but not specifically about the number.

Donald Trump recently stated that the UFC White HouseThe event, proposed for June 14th, could feature "eight or nine" title fights. And while Jon Anik doesn't believe there will be that many, he thinks the number could be quite close.

“Eight seems like an idealistic and extremely ambitious number. But I believe we are heading in a direction where we could see six or seven undisputed titles being contested on the White House lawn…”

Well, if you stop to think about it, they'll have UFC 324 and UFC 325 ready by February 1st… All those champions will be available. I guess February doesn't have any numbered events, right? So, the first numbered event in March will be headlined by a title that isn't undisputed, the 'BMF' belt, which doesn't really count, does it?

So you think about a numbered event in April or May, and then on June 14th, many of these champions will be available, if not spared. The heavyweight title (up to 120,2 kg), Tom aspinall x Cyryl GaneIt will probably be played on the White House lawn, maybe Aspinall (with the eye injury). I think what you'll see in the first or second quarter is something like Joshua Van x Tatsuro Taira...

a Mas (typical old farm) Khamzat Shimaev He'll probably fight on the White House lawn… Alex PoatánWhy would they put him there ahead of time? He (Poatan) already said he wants to wait for the White House. Merab Dvalishvili x Petr yan"Possibly," Jon Anik said on the 'JAXXON' podcast.
