President Trump says he wants to stage UFC fight on White House grounds

President Trump has announced that an Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) bout will be held on the grounds of the White House next year, one of many events to be held to celebrate America's 250th birthday.
During a speech Thursday at the Iowa State Fairgrounds in Des Moines, Trump indicated UFC president Dana White is going to organize one of the mixed martial arts fights on the grounds of the White House.
"We have a lot of land there," Trump said, adding that it will be a "full fight" and that up to 25,000 people will show up for the spectacle.
President Trump has been known to attend Ultimate Fighting Championship events over the years, most recently in Newark, New Jersey, in June. In 2001, he hosted a UFC match at his Trump Taj Mahal casino in Atlantic City.
Trump is also a friend of White, who last year introduced Trump at the Republican National Convention, before he accepted the Republican presidential nomination.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Trump was "dead serious" about the plan. Writing on X , she said "It's going to be EPIC!"
Trump said the UFC fight at the White House was just one of many events that are being planned to mark the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776.
"Every one of our national park battlefields and historic sites are going to have special events in honor of America250," he said at the Des Moines rally, which kicked off the celebrations.
Trump said the climactic celebrations, on July 4th, 2026, will include a festival on the National Mall in Washington, D.C.

Give him a couple years, He will have Gladiators and lions, oh my!
And Nero fiddled while Rome burned.
There is evidence Nero was out of town at the time.
Only 2 miles away and he could still see the fires raging, sort of like the Palisades, it was just a bad day all around.
Hard to believe the Secret Service would be on board with this, letting a large group of civilians loose on White House grounds. IMO this is more likely just Trump shooting off his mouth and nothing will come of it.
Between him and Musk or between Musk and Bannon?
