Dana White Responds to Accusations of Politicizing UFC Event at the White House

UFC President Dana White has responded to criticism regarding the politicization of the event to be held at the White House in Washington.

Idman.Biz reports that the UFC event is scheduled to take place at the White House on June 14, 2026.

"George Bush was a baseball fan, Obama was an NBA fan, and Trump is a UFC fan. I don't think any of them being fans has overly politicized any sport," Bloomberg quotes White.

According to White, the venue will be able to accommodate up to 5,000 spectators. An additional 85,000 spectators will be able to watch the event on big screens.
