The UFC White House event appears to be coming together quite nicely.
On Friday night, UFC CEO Dana White appeared on Fox News’ Special Report With Bret Baier and shared details about the event, including renderings of what the layout of the event on the White House’s South Lawn may look like.
Check out some of those photos below.
“I love one-of-one type events like we did at Sphere last year for [Noche UFC],” White said. “This is a one-of-one incredible opportunity
— not only for the fans [and] for the sport, but for the fighters.
“For the fighters to be able to be a part of something like this, it’s incredible. And for the fans, I mean, come to Washington, D.C., all week, and go to these historic places and be able to enjoy UFC, all of the history D.C. has. It’s a one-of-one experience.”
White reiterated that he expects less than 5,000 people to be in attendance on the South Lawn with the octagon — which will feature a massive arch surrounding it — for the actual event, but says The Ellipse, a park just south of the White House fence, will be able to accommodate 85,o00 people for a watch party experience.
UFC White House is expected to take place in June 2026.
