Dana White Outlines Plans For The UFC White House Card – ‘The Baddest Card Of All Time'

Dana White is talking up the anticipated White House card for next year, stating that he will put on the “baddest” PPV. 

Fans have been buzzing after US President Donald Trump’s announced of the White House card for next year. The President has already teased what fans can expect, stating that there could be between  20,000 to 25,000 people in the crowd. There will be a ‘championship fight’ while also outlining plans for a Patriot Games. The latter would focus on athletes from all 50 states facing off against each other. White has now given fans more of what they can expect.

There will be no tickets available to the public for sale, as it is compensatory. Ivanka Trump will reportedly also work with White and the UFC to help produce the event. White has stated that the work over logistics is underway, although its unclear who will broadcast it. That is understandable since the UFC’s deal with ESPN+ expires this year, with several networks being linked with a broadcast rights deal.

White Reacts

Several fighters have already expressed their interest in fighting on the card. Conor McGregor, who has not fought since his UFC 264 loss to Dustin Poirier in 2021, has put his name in the hat. McGregor talked up the possible Michael Chandler fight. McGregor recently met President Trump this year, while White is reportedly not ruling it out. Max Holloway also mentioned his desire to feature. Holloway puts his BMF Title on the line against Dustin Poirier in his next fight. Provided he comes out with a win, Holloway could increase his chances of fighting. Either way, the work has already begun.

"We’re still a year away, so the whole UFC landscape will change over the next year. But, we will absolutely, positively put on the baddest card of all time. This is going to be an exceptional pay-per-view card. I don’t think we’re going to sell tickets; it will all be comp tickets. That day, we probably texted four or five times that day, and he never told me he was going to announce it. My team already went and walked the White House, we did all the logistics, and we’re putting together the layout for it right now, and will probably pitch it to him in a week or two," White said
