UFC Splashes $60M on White House Card June 14

Dana White announced UFC plans to spend up to $60 million staging a historic UFC White House event on June 14, 2026, on the South Lawn celebrating the U.S. 250th anniversary. The card is expected to headline a lightweight title unification between Ilia Topuria and Justin Gaethje. Topuria, fresh from full training after legal issues, faces Gaethje who recently won the interim title against Paddy Pimblett at UFC 324. This superfight could solidify Topuria's two-division reign and boost lightweight division hype amid Makhachev's welterweight move. Expect massive viewership and potential superfights if it materializes.
