JAKARTA Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is rumored to be holding a direct battle in the courtyard of the White House next year as part of the celebration of the 250th anniversary of the United States independence.
This news was confirmed by the UFC to The Athletic on Friday, July 4, a day after President Donald Trump delivered the plan in his speech at Iowa.
"We're going to have a UFC fight, just imagine, in the White House yard," Trump told his supporters. We have a lot of land there... this will be a championship fight, a full fight.
Trump, known as a close friend of UFC President Dana White, is regularly attending the UFC event. He was seen watching the UFC 309 just days after being re-elected in November 2024, and was also present at several fights in April and June.
