UFC Execs Clarify Wild Claims Regarding June 14 White House Event
"At the White House, I think it's three to four thousand [that can attend, on the South Lawn]. And then, there'll be other in other areas. And [UFC CEO] Dana [White] is working on it right now. There's going to be approximately six to seven fights, [Sunday] June 14, Flag Day. He hasn't said to us what the card's gonna be, but I know they're working pretty hard at it right now."
"The executives stated that Trump's high number included the "fan fest" that would likely be a Washington, D.C., version of the UFC's International Fight Week. This includes additional events during the week, fighter gatherings for fans, possible other shows going on from some of their other properties like Zuffa Boxing or UFC BJJ, and more. As for the event itself, Emanuel specified with Shapiro's aid that there would be three to four thousand on the South Lawn during the card,"
The UFC plans a landmark event on the White House South Lawn for June 14, Flag Day, with an on-site audience limited to roughly 3,000–4,000. A larger 100,000 figure includes a separate "fan fest" intended as a Washington, D.C. version of International Fight Week with additional weeklong events, fighter gatherings, and possible shows from properties like Zuffa Boxing or UFC BJJ. The actual fight card will be smaller than some recent logistical offerings, with approximately six to seven fights. Additional local viewing areas and live options are being finalized, and UFC leadership is actively working on final card details.
