UFC will hold a historic fight at the White House on July 4, 2026, as confirmed by UFC CEO Dana White. This follows a groundbreaking seven-year, $1.1 billion annual streaming deal with Paramount+, marking a major shift for the UFC. White emphasized the deal's significance and the continued importance of live sports, while confirming that pay-per-view events will also remain. The White House event, still in early planning stages with input from Ivanka Trump, will be the first professional MMA event at the presidential residence.
