UFC White House: Latest rumors, news for historic event |
23/09/2025 19:00 -
The UFC White House could be the biggest UFC event in history.
UFC CEO Dana White thinks it will be the "baddest card of all-time" next June.
Former two-division UFC champion Conor McGregor is just one of the names being thrown around for the event that will be held on the South Lawn of the White House. He wants to face Michael Chandler in his first UFC fight since breaking his leg in his loss against Dustin Poirier at UFC 264 on July 10, 2021.
However, another former UFC two-division champion might not be on the outside looking in at the event. Jon Jones, whose career has been mired with legal troubles and controversy, currently has a "billion-to-one" odds, according to White, of competing on the fight card.
Jones recently retired this past June than face then-interim UFC heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall, but changed his mind the following month when the UFC White House event became a possible option.
