UFC Drops $60M on White House Event Budget

UFC is reportedly investing up to $60 million to produce the high-profile UFC White House event slated for June 2026, potentially featuring Ilia Topuria vs. Justin Gaethje in a lightweight title unification. This massive budget underscores the promotion's ambition for a landmark spectacle amid Topuria's superfight calls against Islam Makhachev. The event builds hype post-Topuria's wins over Volkanovski, Holloway, and Oliveira. It matters for lightweight and featherweight divisions as outcomes could dictate cross-division super bouts. Expect further star power additions and logistical reveals soon.
