However, considering the relationship between Trump and UFC CEO Dana White, the promotion may make an exception to pull off the event. If it goes forward, PFL hopes to be a part of the action too.

During a recent rally in Iowa, United States President Donald Trump announced plans for a UFC fight to take place outside the White House as part of the 2026 July 4 celebrations.

His golf club hosted the event. UFC Fight - Trump attended the UFC MMA match in Miami, Florida, on April 12, 2025. UFC Fight - Trump attended another UFC fight in Newark, New Jersey, on June 7, 2025.

Trump said this week that the UFC event during the White House's celebration of the nation's 250th birthday will be part of a broader package of events. But he emphasized it as a highlight.

President Donald Trump’s relationship with the UFC is well-documented. He has attended multiple events, and fighters like Conor McGregor have visited him ...

In the past, the UFC has held multiple events in Washington, D.C., at the Capitol One Arena. Trump, of course, is close to White, who was a vocal and early supporter.
