Trump to Host UFC Fight at WH for America250 Celebration

President Trump stunningly announced that there would be a UFC fight with up to 25,000 spectators at the White House within the next year to celebrate America’s upcoming 250th birthday.

“Does anybody watch UFC? The great Dana White? We’re going to have a UFC fight. We’re going to have a UFC fight — think of this — on the grounds of the White House,” Trump said in a speech at the Iowa State Fairgrounds.

“We have a lot of land there, we’re going to build a little — we’re not, Dana is going to do it. Dana is great, one of a kind — going to be UFC fight, championship fight, full fight, like 20,000 to 25,000 people, and we’re going to do that as part of ‘250’,” Trump, 79, said in the speech.

Trump’s visit to Iowa was planned as a kickoff to the America250 events ahead of next year’s Independence Day, but doubled as a celebration of the president’s “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” that passed hours earlier, fulfilling campaign pledges to cut taxes on tips, overtime and Social Security benefits.

“We’re going to have some incredible events, some professional events, some amateur events. But the UFC fight is going to be a big deal, too,” Trump said, forecasting plans for “every one of our national parks, battlefields and historic sites” to host “special events in honor of ‘America250’.”
