Dana White Promises Bad Ass Fight Card for UFC White House

After previously teasing the idea at a UFC event in New Jersey last month, President Donald Trump and one of his best friends, Dana White, the founder and CEO of the UFC – have fleshed out more details about their day to host a “bad ass” UFC event at the White House on America’s 250^th birthday.

Baddest Card of All Time

While an official confirmation was still missing, White’s appearance on Full Send Podcast seemed to seal the deal.

“Trump loves the sport, so he wants to do a UFC event there. And why would we say no to that? Tons of challenges. First of all, I don’t even know how many people can get in. Not to mention the fact that the Secret Service isn’t going to let a lot of people come do this. Everybody’s going to have to have a background check. Whoever gets to be there live, it will be such a unique, amazing experience in their lifetime to be able to go to this fight.”

White promised the “baddest card of all time,” as fighters are already lining up to fight. Everyone wants to, White assured, and that includes Conor McGregor, a firebrand UFC-fighter-cum-boxer who has been in the news for mostly the wrong reasons – from his boisterous outbursts to allegations about sexual misconduct.

Yet, optics may not be an issue for either Trump or White, who are going to look into stirring a buzz more so than worry about reprimand. As to some ideas as to who may be appearing in the main event, a suggestion has been floated – Tom Aspinall vs Jon Jones.

Mark Zuckerberg Coming to Fight… McGregor?

But this may not be all the people who could join as well. Mark Zuckerberg, the billionaire who once wanted to fight Elon Musk in a cage, has been training to join the UFC in some capacity, as a fighter that is.

What better opportunity to debut in the UFC than at America’s birthday? More fighters to look forward to are Ilia Topuria versus Islam Makhachev, two other UFC legends and currently heavy favorites who may (and will most likely) appear in the event.
