Overview

• Dana White says he met with President Trump at the White House, presented event renderings that received his approval, and is targeting June 2026.
• Security requirements are driving a tight on‑lawn limit of fewer than 5,000 attendees, with White citing the Secret Service’s role in protecting the president.
• Organizers plan to host roughly 85,000 fans in a nearby park with big screens, a stage, concerts, and week‑long activities around Washington.
• DC’s Combat Sports Commission says it has received no contact or permit application for a White House show, underscoring unresolved jurisdiction and protocols.
• No bouts are confirmed; Conor McGregor and Jon Jones have voiced interest while White downplays Jones’ chances, Kayla Harrison hints at a ‘special’ matchup, and Ronda Rousey says she will not participate.
