US President Donald Trump has revealed plans to host a UFC card at the White House next year as part of a nationwide “America250” celebration. The event, expected to be unprecedented, has drawn attention from top fighters in the UFC.
UFC President Dana White confirmed that Jon Jones, who recently announced his retirement, is back in training and will fight on the card. Jones’ heavyweight title was previously held by Tom Aspinall, and many believe a dream main event between the two could take place at the White House.
Other notable fighters, including Conor McGregor, have expressed interest in competing at the historic event. Trump’s close friendship with White and his own history of hosting high-profile events make this proposal an intriguing one.
