Remember when President Donald Trump said he wanted a UFC fight at the White House? Well, guess what? That fun idea is turning real! According to a recent report by The Wall Street Journal, plans are underway for a big UFC event in mid-2026. Why 2026? That’s when the USA will celebrate its 250th birthday, and Trump wants to mark it with fireworks, lights, and a thrilling fight right on the White House South Lawn! Back in July, Trump announced this exciting plan. UFC CEO Dana White quickly backed it up, saying, "The White House fight is on," adding, "we got it done." While Dana White promised more details soon, The Wall Street Journal spilled some hot news already. The fight will not be just about the match. The whole event will stretch over several days with fan gatherings on the National Mall, just across the street. Imagine wrestling stars warming up inside the very halls of the White House! And the all-important weigh-in? That’s planned for the iconic Lincoln Memorial the day before the fight night. This won’t be a simple boxing match. Nope! The UFC octagon—or cage—will rise on the South Lawn, turning the White House into an epic battleground. Although initially planned for July 4th, the match will now happen in June 2026. The White House spokesperson, Steven Cheung, told The Hill, "This will be one of the greatest and most historic sports events in history, and President Trump hosting it at the White House is a testament to his vision to celebrate America’s monumental 250th anniversary." And it’s not just Trump and Dana White behind the scenes—Ivanka Trump, Trump’s daughter and former White House adviser, is also helping plan this spectacular event. So get ready, fight fans! The White House is about to become the hottest UFC ring ever seen.
