UFC White House event: New Details Revealed | MMA News
There’s a lot to be excited about for UFC followers going ahead. A new TV deal that fighters and followers might reap the advantages of, a number of high-profile fights on the horizon, and a lot more, but arguably nothing is larger than the promotion’s rumored one-and-done event at the White House.
Two months in the past, United States President Donald Trump declared that the White House would host its first-ever UFC event next 12 months. Since the announcement, hype has been building around what might grow to be the one best combat card in the game’s historical past.
Details have been trickling out over the past couple of months, serving to followers to envision what might soon be made a actuality. Shedding some mild on the combat card, Dana White reiterated his need for the event to be the best in UFC historical past.
“It’s absolutely happening… What I want to do is build the best card that we’ve ever built that’ll just make people go crazy.”
“It’ll be live and free on CBS from the White House… Even people in other countries will want to see it.”
White later shared some logistics about the show.
“The way that we’re doing this thing, like let’s say this is the octagon, right? We’re building this arch, almost like the St. Louis arch, like this, and the lighting grid will go above the octagon.”
“So, when we shoot this fight, this whole backdrop will be the White House. And then, when the cameras move over and the fight’s this way, it’s all the Washington Monument on this side.”
“There’s a park that’s sort of connected to the White House, and we’ll have 85,000 people there with big screens. We’re gonna do concerts, we’re gonna do UFC X there. We’re gonna take over DC.”
White continued.
“There will be less than 5,000 people there. I don’t give a f*** if there’s one person there and it’s [Donald Trump]. I’ll do this with no crowd, you know what I mean?”
“To be on the White House lawn with the backdrop being the White House, I don’t care. This isn’t about the crowd for me, it’s about being at the White House…”
“We’re gonna be on the f***ing south lawn of the White House. I don’t give a sh*t if it’s just my production people, I’m good…”

“This isn’t about the gate, the people, the energy… The fighters are going to walk out of the Oval Office. When they walk [to the octagon], they’re walking from the Oval Office.”
“For the fighters, the cornermen, my production people, my PR people, this is a one of one, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that will never happen again…”
The query about who shall be honored to be one of the very few people in attendance at the White House stays, but Dana White shared an excellent reply.
“I think what the President should do [is], you have army, navy, air force, marines, you know, just have military guys there.”
