Quick read
UFC CEO Dana White debunked rumors of Conor McGregor vs. Colby Covington headlining the UFC White House event on June 15, 2026, calling it 'complete nonsense' in an Instagram post. He confirmed a matchmaking meeting is happening today (Feb 11) in Las Vegas with Mick Maynard to finalize fights for the America250 card on the South Lawn. Donald Trump suggested all championship bouts, while Ari Emanuel noted 6-7 fights; speculated bouts include Ilia Topuria vs. Justin Gaethje for lightweight unification. This matters as it clarifies early speculation amid high costs (nearly $1M for lawn restoration) and no champions booked yet except BMF. Expect announcements soon, though UFC's pace may delay until April.
