It has been confirmed that Kayla Harrison vs Amanda Nunes will take place on the South Lawn at the upcoming UFC White House card in June 2026.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kayla Harrison vs Amanda Nunes Confirmed For UFC White House Card<\/h2>\n

It has been confirmed that Kayla Harrison vs Amanda Nunes will take place on the upcoming UFC White House card next June.<\/p>\n

There have been strong rumours of this UFC White House card, following President Donald Trump announcing earlier this year that he wanted to stage a UFC event on the South Lawn.<\/p>\n

Since then, Dana White has confirmed the UFC White House card<\/a> will happen to celebrate 250 years of American independence. An official date it yet to be confirmed, but the card is expected to take place in June in Washington DC.<\/p>\n

There have been no fights confirmed by the UFC President himself, but there have been several rumours. Conor McGregor has expressed an interest in returning to the octagon on the UFC White House card, as has the great Jon Jones.<\/p>\n

However, the first fight to be officially confirmed, albeit not by White himself, is that of Kayla Harrison vs Amanda Nunes.<\/p>\n

Harrison won the UFC Women’s Bantamweight Title after submitting Juliana Pena in two rounds at UFC 316, with Nunes getting in the cage to face-off with the new champion straight after her victory.<\/p>\n

Nunes retired from MMA following her UFC 289 victory over Irene Aldana, but looks to get back into the octagon for a super-fight with Harrison at the rumoured UFC White House card next June.<\/p>\n

‘Lioness’ is widely regarded as the greatest female MMA fighter to ever live, having dominated the 135-pound division before retiring. She also won the belt up at featherweight too, beating great fighters such as Miesha Tate, Holly Holm, Ronda Rousey and Cris Cyborg to name but a few.<\/p>\n

Should the UFC White House card get officially announced by Dana White in the coming weeks, expect UFC betting sites<\/a> to bill this as a real 50\/50 match-up.<\/p>\n
