The fighters are gonna literally walk from the Oval Office. “We’re paying for everything. The government isn’t paying for anything.”
He added:
“I said earlier, it’s going to cost us a million bucks to replace the lawn that we’re going to tear up over there. The South Lawn slopes, so we have to build it up and make it all level. “The logistics on this thing is insane — the security is going to be crazy.”
While talking about the number of UFC White House Event attendees and providing updates on logistics, he said:
“There’ll be under 4,000 people there, and I don’t even know how people are going to get selected yet. We have to work that out.”

After that, White then offered updates on whether his stance had changed on former UFC heavyweight champion Jones on putting him on the White House Card. He said:
“I haven’t said yes or no to anybody yet. But I can’t put Jon Jones in a position where he can… You know… I had a deal with him to fight Tom Aspinall. We had a deal, and he said, ‘You know what, I’m not going to do it.’ He didn’t want to do it.”
He added:
“Well, I can’t be in that position, I gotta have somebody who can [be reliable]. This will be the most-watched fight of all time. People from all over the world are going to watch it. I’m gonna put [fighters] on the card that people expect to see at the White House.”
Although Dana has not made up his mind yet to include Jon Jones in the White House Card, Jon has. Last week, Jones uploaded a promo video on this social media featuring the White House. Moreover, he also begs Dana to include him in the card. Let’s see what happens. Dana also announced on multiple occasions that it will be the “Greatest Card Ever” and that no matchups will be decided until February 2026.
