Trump made the declaration during a speech in Norfolk, Virginia, commemorating the navy&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/americas-250th-birthday-will-be-a-commemoration-not-celebration-in-virginia-because-leftists-dont-think-its-worth-celebrating\/\" title=\"America\u2019s ...

The date coincides with Trump&#8217;s 80th birthday. UFC CEO Dana White, a close friend of Trump, had previously indicated the event might take place on July 4, 2026, as part of the United States&#8217; 250th anniversary celebrations. White acknowledged the logistical challenges of hosting an outdoor UFC event on the South Lawn of the White House, estimating that repairs to the grounds would cost around $700,000 due to damage. The fight card is yet to be finalized, with negotiations expected to begin in February 2026. Notably, UFC star Conor McGregor, who recently ended his bid for the Irish presidency, is reportedly eager to participate in the event. <br \/> <!DOCTYPE html><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Trump reveals date for UFC fight at White House<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2363620\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>President <a href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Donald Trump<\/a> revealed on Sunday that the &ldquo;big&rdquo; UFC event on the <a href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/white-house\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">White House<\/a> grounds will take place on June 14, 2026.<\/p>\n<p>Trump teased the event during a speech in Norfolk, <a href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/virginia\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Virginia <\/a>to commemorate the Navy&rsquo;s 250th anniversary.<\/p>\n<div class=\"recommended-stories\">\n<h2>Recommended Stories<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/opinion\/3831825\/loss-of-civility-ryder-cup\/\">The loss of civility and the Ryder Cup<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/premium\/3828249\/social-media-fitness-influencers-comparison-culture\/\">The weight of comparison<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>&ldquo;And on June 14, next year, we&rsquo;re going to have a big UFC fight at the White House, right at the White House on the grounds,&rdquo; the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/philadelphia-teacher-union-president-disgusted-that-schools-are-reopening\/\" title=\"Philadelphia Teacher Union President \u2018Disgusted\u2019 That Schools Are Reopening\">president told<\/a> the crowd of sailors.<\/p>\n<p>The date is notable because the UFC event, which Trump has been a frequent attendee of in the past, is also the president&rsquo;s 80th birthday.
