Overview
- French officials shifted the G7 summit to June 15–17 after it was initially set to start June 14, with Politico reporting the move was to avoid the White House UFC card as Macron’s office declined to link the change directly.
- UFC leadership says event logistics are finalized for June 14, including big screens and live music for fans gathered at the Ellipse across from the White House.
- Matchmaking for the card will begin after Jan. 24 following UFC 324, with fight announcements still pending.
- Organizers describe unique production plans such as fighter walkouts from the Oval Office, and say President Trump will attend though his exact role has not been detailed.
- Access will be restricted with no general public ticket sales for the South Lawn seats, and several fighters and commentators have criticized proposals for six to nine title fights as excessive.
