UFC President Dana White has teased that the rumoured UFC White House card will take place next year to celebrate 250 years of American independence.<\/strong><\/p>\n

White has a strong relationship with President Trump, with the US President formerly stating his desire to stage a UFC event on the south lawn of the White House.<\/p>\n

Dana White Confirms UFC White House Card<\/h2>\n

Just a couple months ago, US President Donald Trump spoke for the very first time of his desire to stage a UFC fight card on the White House grounds.<\/p>\n

At the time, it seemed highly improbable and totally unrealistic, but now it seems that it might actually happen.<\/p>\n

President Trump added that he wanted to see upward of 20,000 spectators inside the White House grounds, taking in a UFC event to celebrate 250 years of American independence.<\/p>\n

As soon as Trump mentioned this, several fighters including Jon Jones, Conor McGregor and plenty more broadcast their desire to partake in the monument MMA event.<\/p>\n

Until the event if officially confirmed and a date set, fans will be none the wiser as to who will feature on the UFC White House card. However, UFC betting sites<\/a> are offering odds on who the main event could be, with a Jones or McGregor return seemingly the most probable right now.<\/p>\n

Regardless of who features on the bill, UFC President Dana White has confirmed that the UFC White House card is in the works and will most definitely take place:<\/p>\n

“It’s absolutely going to happen,”<\/em> White told The Associated Press<\/em>.<\/p>\n

“Think about that, the 250th birthday of the United States of America, the UFC will be on the White House south lawn live on CBS.”<\/em><\/p>\n

A UFC event at the White House would have seemed highly improbable up until President Trump’s re-election. Given that Trump and White are good friends and business partners, it suddenly started to gather real momentum.<\/p>\n

Now, the UFC White House card is well in the works and will most definitely happen next year.<\/p>\n

“This is a 1-of-1 event,”<\/em> White said.<\/p>\n
