US President Donald Trump has announced that a UFC tournament will take place at the White House.
Trump stated during a rally in Iowa, as reported by Fox News:
Donald Trump
Is anyone watching UFC? We will have a UFC fight. We’re going to have a UFC fight – think of this – on the grounds of the White House. We have a lot of land there.
On June 29, UFC 317 was held in Las Vegas, headlined by a title fight in the lightweight division between Ilia Topuria and Charles Oliveira.
Topuria won that fight by knockout in the first round, claiming the championship belt. In the co-main event, Alexandre Pantoja defeated Kai Kara-France by submission in the third round, successfully defending his title in the UFC flyweight division.
