President Trump Proposes UFC Fight on White House Grounds for America’s 250th Anniversary

President Donald Trump has unveiled an ambitious proposal to host a major Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) event directly on the White House grounds. This groundbreaking plan forms a central part of the extensive celebrations leading up to America’s 250th anniversary of independence on July 4, 2026.

Trump, a long-standing enthusiast of mixed martial arts and close associate of UFC President Dana White, announced his vision during the kickoff for a year-long series of festivities commemorating the nation’s milestone. He envisions a “full fight” with a massive crowd of 20,000 to 25,000 spectators, leveraging the extensive land available at the executive mansion.

Beyond the potential UFC spectacle, President Trump also outlined plans for a culminating festival on the National Mall in Washington D.C., alongside a national athletic competition featuring high school athletes. He emphasized that various national parks, battlefields, and historic sites would host special events in honor of America 250.

While a White House spokesperson initially offered no specific details beyond the President’s announcement, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt later affirmed the seriousness of these unprecedented plans. President Trump has frequently attended UFC events, often receiving standing ovations, underscoring his deep connection to the sport.
