UFC CEO Dana White says White House card is officially happening after meeting with Trump administration​

UFC CEO Dana White announced on social media that he had productive meetings at the White House on Thursday and indicated they are really moving forward with the spectacle for next year's Fourth of July celebration:

"We had the meeting at the White House. Could not have gone better. This is going to be awesome. The White House fight is on. I’ll have more details on that in the next couple weeks, but we got it done today.”

Details for the card remain scarce, but White has hinted at the event being held on the South Lawn of the White House, while Trump spoke of setting enough seating for 20,000 to 25,000 people.

"The difference with the White House is I don't think they've ever had anything very heavy out on the lawn, and the Octagon alone weighs 20,000 pounds."

The event would be the first professional sporting event hosted at the White House in U.S. history, though there have been many recreational events.

President Donald Trump, who has ties to White and the UFC going back decades, floated the idea around this year's Fourth of July and the two sides quickly started working things out.

Newly-installed FBI Director Kash Patel ... has proposed enhancing the FBI's ranks with help from the Ultimate Fighting Championship, the martial-arts entertainment giant whose wealthy CEO, Dana White, helped boost President Donald Trump's reelection, according to sources who were told of Patel's proposal. On a teleconference Wednesday with the heads of the FBI's 55 field offices, Patel suggested that he wants the FBI to establish a formal relationship with the UFC, which could develop programs for agents to improve their physical fitness, said sources who had been briefed on Wednesday's call.

How does that change what I said? Keep in mind Trump was already president well before that.

Boob flashing was not part of the plan and the admin was embarrassed by all that.

This is the opposite. Now they actually want an absurd spectacle.

Nothing screams “stable democracy” quite like a government funded cage fight. Happy birthday, America.

I love football. Huge NFL fan. Gigantic. It’s my favorite sport. Has been my whole life. If the White House was hosting a PPV NFL football game on the south lawn to commemorate the 250th year of our country, I’d feel exactly the same.

There are a billion cheaper, more accessible, more dignified ways to honor 250 years of history than people beating each other senseless in a sports league that’s been around for barely 30 years.

Football is the best TV sport*. And I used to love to play it.

*Young men destroying their brain issues notwithstanding.

I didn't recall what his name is, but probably. I think there was also another showing off her mastectomy. Maybe more parading shirtless around the White House.

Absolutely on the first and second points, and I’ll defer to you on the second (having never played myself).

People say Oh but the action always stops and starts etc! But thats whats good about it. You know when to look - and when you can do other important things like chat for second, eat, look at you phone, etc. You know when youre needed.

Compare it to the other football (soccer) where you have to be glued to it the whole time so you dont miss the unlikely event that something actually happens.

It was the Capitol, and his name was Jake Angeli.

I always think the action is more consistent than any other sport and literally every play could be something game-changing. Even if it doesn’t change the game, unless the ball stays exactly where it is, yardage gains and losses always matter.
