Overview
- Dana White said on The Pat McAfee Show on Friday that Mount Rushmore is not the site under consideration and that he plans to reveal the chosen location soon.
- UFC production chief Craig Borsari completed a four-day on-site inspection of an unidentified U.S. location as part of a feasibility review.
- White said the Mount Rushmore idea originated with an interviewer’s suggestion and that he avoids answering hypothetical matchmaking questions to prevent rumors being treated as facts.
- The promotion has not announced a date, city, venue, or fight card for the project and White framed his timing as when he might disclose the site rather than when the event would occur.
- The effort follows the Sphere and White House productions and comes with known cost and logistics risks, including reporting that the White House show contributed to a roughly $30 million net loss, which could shape partner and broadcaster support.
