Daniel Cormier reacts to 'insane' UFC | MMA News
Over the weekend, UFC CEO Dana White launched renderings from the planning for next yr’s UFC event at the White House.
The event is predicted to happen on the South Lawn. In the renderings, the octagon sits below an monumental arch of lights that illuminate the grounds with the White House on one aspect and the Washington Monument on the other.
Former two-division UFC champion Daniel Cormier reacted after seeing the art work, and was shocked.
“We saw the first renderings of what the UFC is going to look like at the White House, and it looked insane,” Cormier said on his YouTube channel.
“The fact that we’re actually doing a UFC at the White House is the craziest thing of all time. And honestly, only President Trump and Dana White could make something like this happen because otherwise it would be just a ridiculous thought, but honestly ridiculous thoughts work.”
The UFC has held three “Noche UFC” occasions celebrating Mexican Independence Day. They’ve turn into some of the largest battle playing cards the battle promotion holds each yr. Cormier always questioned why there have not been occasions celebrating American Independence Day. Next yr there will probably be.

“We’re going to the White House in July, 4th of July, Independence Day. For a long we talked about Noche UFC and how it was a great ode to the Hispanic culture, the Mexican culture. It’s been and become one of the greatest events in the UFC’s yearly calendar,” Cormier said.
“I always questioned, why don’t we tip our hat to the United States of America? That feels like what we’re going to do when we get to the White House next July,” continued Cormier. “I heard the weigh-ins are going to be the Lincoln Memorial, or something like that. That’s crazy. It’s crazy. And I get to be there.”
