The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) will host its first-ever mixed martial arts fight event at the White House on July 4, 2026, coinciding with the United States' 250th anniversary of independence. UFC President Dana White confirmed the event, stating it is "definitely going to happen" and will be broadcast live on CBS. The event is being organized in collaboration with former President Donald Trump, who expressed interest in staging the fight on the White House grounds with an audience of up to 20,000 spectators. The fight night will take place on the South Lawn of the White House and marks a historic first for the venue. Plans for the event are expected to be finalized later this month.
