News “UFC White House is officially ON, more event details coming soon” ~ Dana White

[Petarito]

It’ll be hilarious when all the American fighters lose to foreigners

They better get Jon Jones on the card to avoid total embarrassement

 

[AmonTobin]

We’ve already seen the POTUS and his family and his cabinet in the front row of a UFC. Not sure how this is any different from that. I’m picturing an Apex card but with more gold spray painted all over shit.

 

[empsim]

It's scary what a circus global politics have become.

But it's sure to be a stacked fight card so whatever.

 

[jeskola]

nah this is BASED.

who says that, how old are you?

 

[jeskola]

Was surprised that a lot of people kept repeating "white house card is bull it will never actually happen"

You seriously think the fucking president of the UFC and president of the United States who are both all in on this would not make this happen ?

I mean hell the 4th is even falls on a Saturday for Christ sakes. This is like the textbook scenario for something like this to happen

do you think because Dana said this will happen that it will happen?

 

[jeskola]

The first sporting event to happen when the pandemic hit.

The first and only sporting event to happen at the Sphere.

The first sporting event to happen at the White House remains to be seen.

UFC have been killing it, tbh.

while part of me wants to agree with you....

- holding a sporting event when the pandemic hit isn't really a badge of honor. that's like saying "first guy eating a sandwich at my Jimmy Johns after they got closed for salmonella"

- the sphere is a money loser, even by Dana's admission. In the not-to-distant feature when it is torn down we will laugh and remember when they thought turning a crypto mining farm of NVidia GPUs into an event venue was a good idea.

Pretty bad timing. There are going to be zero title fights because the Russians will be dominating every division and none of our challengers will have a chance.

 

[Unheralded Truth]

Why tho

Good question. I does give off Roman Empire vibes, I could even imagine Donny sitting there with a laurel wreath on.

My guess is both him and Dana are into this aesthetic of a populace getting on the war path just to entertain the power.
Could they take this event as a sign of their civilization reaching some level of greatness, or the next stage of "united by loyalty"?

I feel like there's no way you'd come up with the idea unless the two of them + other hangarounds were having discussions
about competition and politics in a historical context. They must like the painted picture of a firm, devote empire with brave serfs.

 

[fedorthegoat777]

This is awesome.

Epic idea. I hope they stack it 5 deep, like UFC 100.

I will be awaiting my personal invitation. Hopefully it is front row.

 

[Rampage_Jackson]

Wrong. Brady is getting that WW strap on the fucking White House lawn. LFG!!!

boring

 

[Spath]

Human cockfighting at the white house? What’s next? Powerslap event there?

 

[Takes Two To Tango]

I don't think having fights at the White House is going to be good. I think it's going to be incredibly lame. Like how many people are going to attend? The atmosphere will be shit imo.

Just announced by Dana White on his Instagram Live:

It's been a couple of years since I bought a UFC event. This one I WILL buy!

Unless they fuck it up like Mayweather vs McGregor when I COULDN'T buy it despite trying.

 

[Steve Fox]

"USA Champion" gimmick belt incoming.
With Trump's face on it.

 

[Tweak896]

I'm not thinking it'll be on UFC 300 level, which if I'm being honest wasn't on 200 or 100 level of names. Whitehouse card will probably be like a tier above the sphere card. Unless the Whitehouse funds the card for some crazy amount of money

 

[FrappeDuRocma]

Don’t let ur hate for Trump blind you so stupidly

The greatest president in DECADES

PS if Jones and Ass&all happens you’re a liar if you say ur missing it

We are still waiting for the list...

 

[loisestrad]

It's so fucking lol. No matter if you like or dislike Trump, it's just dumb as fuck, and you should be embarrased of yourself if you think it's cool.

[loisestrad]

why are you on this forum?

I like MMA. Like to follow it a bit online.

I mean... the oval office is technically kind of like an octagon
