The UFC is planning a major mixed martial arts event at the White House on June 14, 2026, coinciding with President Donald Trump's 80th birthday and the nation's 250th anniversary. The event will feature a specially constructed octagon on the White House lawn with an estimated 5,000-seat arena. The card will include two championship fights: Alex Pereira versus Ciryl Gane for the interim heavyweight title, and Ilia Topuria versus Justin Gaethje for the lightweight championship. The event will be broadcast live on Paramount+ and represents an unprecedented venue for UFC competition.
