President Donald Trump has finally announced the date of the much-anticipated Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) fight he plans to host at the White House.
The fight, born out of Trump's seeming love for the sport and friendship with UFC CEO and President Dana White, will take place on June 14, 2026, marking the president's 80th birthday, according to Reuters.
Trump has leaned on and highlighted sporting events during his return to the White House, attending variety of finals and competitions, including the FIFA Club World Cup, the NCAA Division I Men's Wrestling Championships, and the Ryder Cup.
Trump has attended three UFC fights since winning the 2024 U.S. presidential election, including one the week right after his election victory: November 16, 2024; April 12, 2025, and June 7, 2025.
