President Donald Trump revealed his plan to honor America's 250th birthday next year with a UFC fight on the grounds of the White House. "So every one of our national parks, battlefields and historic sites are going to have special events in honor of America 250. And I even think we're going to have a UFC fight," Trump said. "Does anybody watch UFC?" "We're going to have a UFC fight think of this on the grounds of the White House," Trump said on July 3 at the Des Moines, Iowa State Fairgrounds. "We got a lot of land there." Trump's visit to the fairgrounds was more or less a celebration of Congress passing the "big, beautiful bill," a legislation predicted to add an estimated $3.3 trillion to the national debt over the next decade. However, the primary focus of the president's remarks wasn't policy, or even politics; it was throwing a yearlong "big, beautiful" celebration for America's birthday in 2026. "We're going to have a UFC fight, championship fight, full fight, like 20, 25,000 people and we're going to do that as part of 250 also," he added. "We're going to have some incredible events. Some professional events, some amateur events, but the UFC fight's going to be a big deal, too." According to NBC News, a spokesperson for UFC confirmed the event will happen, although further details have not been provided. Karoline Leavitt said the president was "dead serious" about the plans, per Associated Press. Trump is also friends with UFC President Dana White, who's appeared at several campaign rallies and took the stage at Trump's election night victory party. His remarks have gone viral, and people have mocked and criticized what this means for the United States to have the 47th president promoting a mixed martial arts sporting event on the White House lawn.
