Overview

- TKO president Mark Shapiro confirmed there will be no public ticket sales and described significant logistics, including building a temporary arena and replacing soil and sod after the event.
- White reiterated that matchmaking will not begin until February 2026 and that no bouts are official despite President Trump’s claim of “eight or nine” championship fights.
- Joe Rogan questioned the feasibility of staging multiple title bouts outdoors at the White House, raising security and weather concerns, while insisting it would be a “travesty” to leave Jon Jones off the card.
- BetOnline posted markets projecting far fewer championships than Trump suggested, setting an over/under of 3.5 title fights and offering props on potential participants and the main-event weight class.
