How does UFC White House sound for a future event? Well, that is what we could be getting in 2026 if everything comes together.
President Donald Trump, a close friend of UFC CEO Dana White, told people in attendance in Iowa at a rally Thursday night that he wants the Octagon on the ground of the White House next year.

"Does anybody watch UFC?" Trump said (thanks to MMA Fighting for the quotes). "The great Dana White. We're going to have a UFC fight on the grounds of the White House. We have a lot of land there.
"Dana's going to do it. Dana's great, one of a kind. We're going to have a UFC fight, a championship fight."
