UFC fights to take place at White House on June 14, Trump says

He made the announcement during a speech at Naval Station Norfolk to mark the upcoming 250th anniversary of the U.S. Navy. Trump in July had announced that a UFC event would take place at the White House in 2026, but did not give a date. He counts UFC President Dana White as a close friend and considers fans of the sport part of his political base, although their ties long predate Trump's presidency.
