Dana White has announced who will be at the UFC event at the White House.
Dana White has shared exciting news about the UFC Freedom 250 event, which will take place on June 14, 2026, right on the South Lawn of the White House. The event’s name celebrates the 250th anniversary of the United States Declaration of Independence, making it a special way to honor the nation’s birthday.
White also revealed that fans will get a first look at the event setup during the UFC 237 broadcast this weekend. Earlier this week, he joined Adin Ross’s livestream to talk about all the preparations going into the summer celebration. Unlike typical UFC events, this one will take about a month to set up, rather than just a few days.
One interesting detail White shared is that he and Donald Trump will each have 200 tickets to give out, with 84 from each side invited to a VIP event inside the White House before the fights start. Most tickets will be given to military personnel, which should create a lively and respectful crowd.
Another fun detail is that the fighters will wear custom fight kits commemorating the 250th anniversary of America’s independence and celebrating the President’s birthday. Plus, White mentioned that Trump is expected to show up at UFC 237 in Miami this weekend, which might surprise some given the current tensions in the Middle East.
It’s shaping up to be an unforgettable event that blends history, sport, and celebration!
