Dana White has traveled to Washington to get a deal done for his White House card.
The UFC CEO previously promised to host an event at the official residence of US President Donald Trump to celebrate Independence Day on July 4, 2026.
Jon Jones and Conor McGregor are just two of the major names hoping to compete on the card.
However, Dana White refused to discuss potential fights until he got the event officially signed off by the powers that be.
UFC White House card is official
On Thursday, Dana White dropped a ton of fight news during an Instagram live session.
Islam Makhachev’s welterweight title fight against Jack Della Maddalena was confirmed for UFC 322 on November 15.
The UFC boss also provided a massive update on the once-in-a-lifetime show he’s planning to host in 2026.
“I had a great day,” White began. I’m just about to take off here from Washington, D.C.
“We had the meeting at the White House. It could not have gone better. This is gonna be awesome.
“The White House fight is on! The White House fight is on!
“I’ll have more details on that in the next couple of weeks. But we got it done today.”
Will Jon Jones compete at the White House?
In June, Jon Jones vacated his heavyweight title and retired from MMA as the greatest of all time.
‘Bones’ completed a retirement U-turn after learning about the UFC’s upcoming White House card.
Right now, Jones is in the bad books of Dana White for reneging on a deal to face Tom Aspinall.
The MMA mogul has completely shut down Jones’ UFC White House dream by providing long odds on it becoming a reality.
“I haven’t talked to him at all. I would not bet on it.” White said about Jones at UFC 319.
“If I have to make odds, it’s a billion to one I put Jon Jones on the White House card.”
