The next June 14the UFC will hold the most important event in its history in the White Housewhich will star Ilia Topuria and Justin Gaethje. Although it is in commemoration of the 250th Anniversary of the Independence of the United Statesmany Americans have taken it to the political field due to the close relationship between Dana White -head of the UFC- and donald trump -President of the United States-, but the promoter’s boss has come forward to make it clear that it does not matter which party they support.
The card will be held on south garden from the White House, and will not have a typical ticket sale. Attendees will be counted, in an event rather private due to the place in which it is celebrated. However, there will be giant screens in the surrounding area, and all kinds of activities so that anyone can come and enjoy a unique and unrepeatable experience.

Dana White, about the UFC White House
Of course, the billboard has also received reviews by being associated with Donald Trump, especially those who support the opposing party, something that Dana White has not liked. “Not a single dollar of taxpayers’ money will go towards this event. This is the UFC gift on the occasion of the 250th Anniversary of the United States,” White said in an interview with Pat McAfee.
In fact, Dana went further, saying that “it doesn’t matter if you’re far-right, far-left, center, or any other political tendency… This has nothing to do with politics.has to do with the United States. “If you love America, you’re going to love this event.”

Much American prominence in the White House
Beyond what is known so far, surely the UFC has more prepared surprises in honor of the country, since they intend it to be a party for the public and attendees. The only moment in which politics has come into play in this matter is when choosing the fights, since there is no no russian fighter that is part of the billboard due to the tensions between Russia and the United States.
It would be strange to see fighters like Islam Makhachev or Khamzat Chimaev winning this event against an American fighter, and talking about Russia in his speech. Something that Donald Trump would not like, and that they have preferred to avoid so that there is no no setback that could alter the expected success for this special day.
What there will be is a large number of American fighters. Steve Garcia, Bo Nickal, Josh Hokit, Derrick Lewis, Sean O’Malley and Justin Gaethje will be the local idols facing this card, where several of them have a chance to win and become new superstars. In theory, as Dana has already confirmed, the UFC will lose money by holding the event, just like what happened in ‘The Sphere’ in Las Vegas, but that doesn’t matter to them. They want to do magic, so that next June 14, 2026 remains in the memory of an entire country.
