A UFC fight card at the White House on July 4, 2026 is 'definitely going to happen,' according to UFC CEO Dana White, who shared details on event.

Mixed Martial Arts, and, by proxy, the Ultimate Fighting Championship, was once banned in 36 states and on pay-per-view (which did allow adult films). In the early days, about the only way to watch was to wait for your local video store to get a copy of the most recent card.

Jon Jones isn’t hiding the fact that he’s bummed about being left out of the UFC’s potential 2026 White House card. The former heavyweight champ who shocked fans by retiring just a month ago says he’s still in the USADA testing pool and training like a pro, even without a fight booked.
