Earlier in August 202, UFC boss Dana White revealed plans to hold a mixed martial arts (MMA) fight at the White House on July 4 next year.
The agenda is part of commemorating the 250th anniversary of US independence. However, Donald Trump instead decided to announce a new schedule.
Trump is known as a big fan of the free fighting sport and is often present at various UFC events. His presence in the arena is often greeted like a rock star by the audience, especially young people, the voter segment which is an important target in the 2024 US General Election.
If implemented, this fight will be the first in history to be held in the center of US political power.
Dana White in a press conference broadcast on the UFC YouTube channel said that his party would start compiling a list of matches early next year.
"I can be sure, it will be the best fight card we've ever compiled in UFC history," White said.
The UFC is the largest organization in mixed martial arts (mixed martial arts), which combines various disciplines, such as jiu-jitsu, boxing, wrestling, and kickboxing.
Although there are some limitations such as a eye-tightening ban, male and female fighters, but still allowed fighters to use all techniques to bring down opponents, either by hitting, kick, or lock.
The popularity of this hard sport continues to increase despite frequent criticism from medical circles due to the high risk of head injuries and potential brain damage due to repeated impacts.
