Odds Released on Favorites to Headline Potential UFC White House Card

Only in a America? Ah, yes, global odds for a global company where people from all over the world can gamble.

Only on sherdog....

Hy do only stupid ppl post here?
I think you misunderstood the point I was trying to make, as it had very little to do with gambling, and absolutely zero to do with gambling on a global scale.

The point is that the guy considered to be the favorite is retiring on Saturday. The America part was in reference to Don King, which is in itself a reference to Donald Trump.

Your inability to read between the lines does not make me stupid. Nice try though.
 
most likely max vs dustin

both american, fan favorites, and always put on a show (not much grappling)

no way they are going to have a foreigner headline

Holy fucking shiat this picture is so highly accurate

Its only time you see Dana smile anymore, when Slap gets brought up LoL
 
It's actually pretty hard to find a lock for who might be fighting. Maybe since this is next year I'd pick Gaethje vs Topuria for the belt. To get an American in the main event, you sort of even have to do some reaching. The pound for pound list only has Max there, even with a win over Dustin, it'll be tough to get people hyped for rematch with Topuria. Jones is perfect, but doesn't have belt anymore and the only fight people want him to have is Tom.

Good odds for Strickland imo

Strickland vs Izzy 2 would make a great headliner for what would probably be a fight night on steroids sort of event.
 
And as fake as it was, Trump said Championship...unless he winss and somehow sticks around for 1 more year then its the BMF on the line, LOL.

Only a few there are champions, none (Male) are from the US.
Idk why people assume it has to be a bunch of US fighters.

Trumps favorite fighter is literally Khabib.
 
In less than 30 years, the UFC has transformed from a political pariah into being a political tool for President Camacho.

Quite impressive if you think about it. But depressing if you think too deeply about it.
You’re thinking way too deep into it.

Trump has literally always been a fight fan whether that’s boxing or mma. He’s not using it as a tool. The guy legitimately just enjoys fights.

It’s not that serious.

The early favorite to headline a proposed Ultimate Fighting Championship card at the nation’s capital is supposed to be retiring later this month.

According to odds released by oddsmaker BetOnline.ag, Dustin Poirier (+250) is the early favorite to be in the main event on a card at the White House in Washington, D.C.. His opponent at UFC 318, Max Holloway (+300), has the next best odds to get headlining status. UFC 318, which takes place on July 19 in New Orleans, is expected to be Poirier’s farewell fight, but it’s not difficult to imagine “The Diamond” making a comeback for such a prestigious event.







United States President Donald Trump announced last week that he plans to hold an event on White House grounds next year as part of the celebration of the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

The majority of fighters with the best odds to get a main event spot are largely American. Conor McGregor, widely regarded as the biggest star in the history of the sport, only has the eighth-best odds at +1000. Of course, the former UFC two-division champion hasn’t fought since July 2021. Jon Jones, who claimed that he -re-entered the drug testing pool just two weeks after announcing his retirement, is just above McGregor at +800.

Some of the other prominent international stars such as Tom Aspinall (+1400), Islam Makhachev (+2000) and Ilia Topuria (+2500) have longer odds than their American counterparts.

At the moment, there are no concrete details regarding a UFC event at the White House outside of Trump’s announcement. Coincidentally, July 4, 2026 falls on a Saturday, so it’s possible such a card could take place on the holiday.

Back in the day there would have been no problem filling this card top to bottom exclusively with elite American fighters in their primes. Now its slim pickings honestly.
 
Why would Dustin be the favourite? He’s retiring

Jones at + 800 looks good
Being the first and likely only event to ever be held at the White House, I think Dustin would very much consider it since it's a historic event. It's also why Jones even after just retiring, is begging to be able to do it as well.
 
I'm down as long as Trump is fighting on the card and it's to the death.

Trump vs Trudeau, to the death.
