White House to Host UFC Fight for America 250 Celebration
President Donald Trump announced that the White House will host a UFC mixed martial arts fight as part of the America250 celebration in 2026. The event will feature a championship fight with thousands of attendees.
In 2026, the White House will host a UFC championship fight as part of the 250th anniversary celebrations of the Declaration of Independence. President Donald Trump announced this during a rally in Iowa, mentioning that the UFC will set up an octagon on the White House grounds for the event. The fight is expected to draw a crowd of 20,000 to 25,000 people.
The organization America250, dedicated to commemorating the country's semiquincentennial, will be involved in this event. UFC's CEO Dana White, a close friend and supporter of Trump, has confirmed the plans for the fight at the White House.
White has been vocal about his positive relationship with Trump and their shared history. The UFC and WWE were merged under TKO Group Holdings in 2023, and Endeavor, the parent company, recently went private in a deal worth $25 billion.
