• This event is dedicated to the 250th anniversary of the USA.
• UFC President Dana White plans to broadcast the fight on CBS.

UFC President Dana White confirmed that a fight will take place at the Southern lawn of the White House in honor of the 250th anniversary of the USA. This event will be part of the celebrations, which will encompass national parks and historic sites.

President Donald Trump, who is a UFC enthusiast, previously stated that he plans to hold this fight to kick off the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Trump noted that White is organizing this event, which is expected to be a championship fight with an audience of 20-25 thousand spectators.

This event will take place under the new UFC agreement with Paramount, which brings the organization $7.7 billion over seven years. White indicated that the fight will likely be broadcasted on CBS. At the moment of the conclusion of the agreement with ESPN, the UFC plans to expand its availability for viewers.

However, the organization is facing logistical problems, as the UFC ring weighs close to 25 thousand pounds. White assured that all details will be taken into account to ensure a successful event at the White House and Washington Monument.

Many fighters, both current and former, have expressed a desire to participate in this event. Among them are Conor McGregor and Jon Jones, who are ready to return to the ring to take part in this unique show.
