Trump Proposes white House UFC Event for 2026 US 250th Birthday Festivity
WASHINGTON D.C. – Former President Donald Trump has proposed hosting a UFC championship fight on the grounds of the White House as part of the celebrations surrounding the United States’ 250th birthday on July 4, 2026. Speaking in Iowa on thursday, Trump envisioned an event capable of hosting 20,000 to 25,000 attendees, praising UFC CEO Dana White as “one of a kind” and highlighting the event as a “big deal.”
“We’re going to have a UFC fight, think of this, on the grounds of the White House,” Trump stated. “we have a lot of land there, we’re going to build – we’re not, DanaS going to do it… We’re going to have a UFC fight – championship fight, full fight.”
Beyond the UFC event, Trump also announced plans for a festival on the National Mall and a competition for high school athletes nationwide. A White House spokesperson indicated they currently have no further details to share regarding the proposed UFC event.
This proposition is fueled by the strong relationship between Trump and the UFC. The organization has a long history with Trump, dating back to events hosted at his Trump Taj Mahal during the promotion’s early years. Trump is a frequent attendee at major UFC cards and enjoys a positive reception from the organization’s largely right-leaning fanbase. He has previously offered his own suggestions for the sport, demonstrating a clear interest in its continued success.
