According to Variety, the upcoming UFC event – scheduled for June 14, 2026, and set to be held on the grounds of the White House for the first time – will host not only U.S. President Donald Trump and key American political figures but also high-ranking international guests from around the world.

Sources say Trump has greenlit plans to host one of the first UFC fights under Paramount’s $7.7 billion deal with the MMA league on the lawn of the White House. Dignitaries from around the world will attend a dinner and then head to the Octagon, the eight-sided ring where the main event will play out.
Earlier, former two-division UFC champion Conor McGregor publicly stated it would be an honor to compete in the Octagon at the White House. Former heavyweight champion Jon Jones has also signaled his interest – he has already re-entered the UFC’s testing pool to remain eligible for a spot on the historic card.
