Fans Say Ivanka Trump and Dana White’s UFC White House Plans Are “National Embarrassment”

While President Donald Trump engages FBI and other agencies to address the "riffraff" in Washington D.C., he simultaneously prepares to make history by hosting the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) at the White House on July 4, 2026. This event marks the inaugural professional mixed martial arts contest held at the presidential estate, as affirmed by UFC CEO Dana White.“It's definitely going to happen,” White announced during his appearance on ‘CBS Mornings.’ “July 4th aligns with the 250th birthday of the USA, live from CBS at the White House.”White revealed he had spoken with Trump about this venture and plans to finalize details with both Donald and Ivanka Trump soon. “Ivanka reached out to me to discuss the venues,” White stated. Reaction on social media has been mixed; many users expressed outrage, referring to the event as “ghetto” and demeaning. Critics conveyed their discontent over turning such a historic venue into a spectacle. This announcement coincides with the UFC's recent seven-year, $7.7 billion streaming partnership with Paramount, veering away from traditional pay-per-view models. White believes this initiative is a significant milestone in his professional journey, adapting to the evolving media landscape.
