White House UFC event set for June, weigh-ins at Lincoln Memorial

President Donald Trump will host a UFC mixed martial arts event on the South Lawn of the White House in June 2026 to celebrate America’s 250th anniversary.
The event was initially planned for July 4, 2026, but logistical challenges pushed it to June, with Ivanka Trump helping coordinate the arrangements.
The occasion will showcase a complete lineup of bouts, with weigh-ins held at the Lincoln Memorial and a press conference, attracting thousands of attendees and providing large-scale viewing on screens set up around the Ellipse.
UFC CEO Dana White confirmed on August 28 that "The White House fight is on" and described it as "a one-of-one event."
The event reflects the increasing blend of politics and sports under Trump, who has attended many UFC events and supports the sport, while defenders call it historic and critics label it undignified.
