The UFC’s Paramount deal, worth $7.7 billion, is set to come into effect in 2026, and new reports claim that one of the first events in the Paramount era will be the White House show. Dana White and Co. have already made the render for the whole setup on the South Lawn of the Oval Office campus. Now, it has been reported that the event, set to take place on President Donald Trump‘s birthday, will be something that fans have never seen before.

Dana White always turns up the volume, and his level of excitement is visible whenever he gets to work on setting up unique events. He showed the same enthusiasm when the UFC hosted a show inside the Las Vegas Sphere as he had shown for the White House event, which is likely going to be a one-and-done deal. But here are the new details that have come to light.

Several high-profile dignitaries will attend the UFC White House

A report from Variety revealed that President Donald Trump’s main agenda on his birthday next year is not hosting a UFC event on the White House campus. The MMA show will be a part of the celebration of 250 years of the United States, but the surprising fact is that the president will host several dignitaries from around the world. This will be the first time that a UFC event will have so many world leaders in attendance.

As soon as the dignitaries convene with Donald Trump, they will be joining each other for a dinner party. It’s only then that the representatives of the different nations will get treated to the UFC White House event. And there’s a chance that this event leaves fans speechless because White House spokesperson Anna Kelly says it will be nothing short of “a spectacular event.”

Well, so much has been said about the event already that the pressure is on the UFC CEO. Many MMA figures have suggested that Dana White add an American fighter to the main event who can guarantee a win. Jon Jones has been pleading for the head honcho to add him to the White House card, but White is not ready to entertain his request, and there are reasons why he may not go ahead with it. However, he could go for another fighter who’s the only American champion in the UFC, who has revealed the opponent she’s targeting,

The only American champion claims UFC 322 could determine her White House opponent

Kayla Harrison met with the US President not too long ago, hinting that a place for her on the White House card might be guaranteed. While speaking on former UFC fighter Jorge Masvidal’s Death Row MMA podcast, the bantamweight champion revealed that she’s open to fighting Amanda Nunes or even Ronda Rousey, but they are not her first option.

Kayla Harrison is hoping to fight the winner of the women’s superfight at UFC 322 between Valentina Shevchenko and Zhang Weili. “For sure, I am going to be on the White House card; I’m the only American champion. I am gonna whoop her [Nunes’] a— real quick, and then in my perfect world, [I] either [face] Valentina beats Weili [at the White House]. Or everybody has been talking about Ronda [Rousey] coming back, so that would be great,” Harrison stated.

Well, the fans could be in for a treat, given that so many top fighters are asking for a spot on the White House card. However, one thing that fans might be wondering is that if the presence of the dignitaries will make for a more formal setting at the UFC event. We’ll have to wait and see how things turn out for Dana White and Co. Let us know your thoughts in the comments down below.
