Jon Anik Sees 6–7 Title Fights as Plausible for UFC’s White House Card on June 14

Anik cites the early 2026 calendar clearing multiple champions as his basis for an unusually title-heavy lineup.

Overview

  • The longtime UFC play-by-play announcer told the JAXXON Podcast the event could host six or seven undisputed title bouts, falling short of President Trump's earlier talk of eight or nine.
  • The showcase is slated for June 14 on the White House lawn in Washington, D.C., with streaming expected on Paramount+.
  • UFC CEO Dana White says formal matchmaking will not begin until February, leaving bout selection and availability unsettled.
  • Anik points to UFC 324 and 325 being completed by Feb. 1, a February without a numbered event, and a March BMF headliner as factors that could free many champions for June.
  • He floated possible participants such as Tom Aspinall vs. Ciryl Gane at heavyweight, Khamzat Chimaev, Alex Pereira, and a Merab DvalishviliPetr Yan trilogy.
