No thanks. Let Islam and Topuria defend their titles at least one time. And against the rightful contenders (even they're not the "preferred" contender).

Islam-Garry
Topuria-Arman

Sorry Justin...you can go fight Conor or the Max-Charles winner.

 

[Ozze]

Nope.

Islam should fight contenders of his weigth class, and there are lots of them.

And Topuria fights the interim of his category.

 

[CC27]

Nah that aint it.

No need for a 165, just waters down two of the best divs.

Topuria/Islam has passed, Topuria gets wrecked at 170. Islam had his chance to make the fight in summer and he picked going up instead. That ends it.

WOuld think plan is maybe Conor, Topuria/Justin, Kayla/Nunes, maybe Alex or Yan/O Malley. Figure 3 titles and maybe Conor.

Could also see the thinking that using Conor's return and probably last fight if he fights against on this card where you cant maximize sponsors and gate isnt the best thing. Kind of like UFC 200 and 202 situation. 200 sold big off the number and then they double dipped with COnor in a huge PPV after that. White House is gonna be a major draw of the event so maybe they just do go with Topuria/Justin, Kayla/Nunes, maybe Alex or Khamzat, 3-4 title fights and call it a day. Then if COnor returns you do an event with him that can sell in Vegas and collect the last big 20 mill gate, sponsors etc off him.

I doubt both their main and co main will not feature an American. There's probably only room on the card for one big fight between non americans.


I'd save the 165 title for a rainy day, the white house card will sell no matter what. theres plenty of fights they can still make for the white house card.

 

[Tito Tapped]

There is no 165 lb division under the Unified Rules.

It would have to be ratified by every athletic commission the UFC wants to feature that division in.

Isn't the White House event UFC 330? Do we have a confirmation that the White House event is not one of the numbered events?

I agree.

Having Topuria vs Gaethje and Islam vs Garry/Morales on the same card would be great though, because it could set up the superfight if both win.

328 in May so 329 would be the number assuming they dont double up two in May.

I also think they might not go with a number for that card and just go UFC WHite House or something like that.

It is almost certainly going to be a numbered card, it just isn't going to have the number in the title.


Ie, it could likely be stylized as UFC White House, and its wikipedia entry will probably have "aka UFC 330". This is what UFC Fight Nights usually are.

I am assuming that between May & June 2026 they will have 3 numbered events (including the White House fights), so that's why I said UFC 330.

But you could absolutely be right. If they only run one numbered event per month for those two months, then yes the White House card would be UFC 329.

 

[Egészségére!]

Considering it’s the White House, 250 anniversary, flag day & all that:

Jones v Aspinal (or Pereira)
Gaethje v Topuria
Kayla v Nunes or O’Malley v Yan II

they need 13 numbered events and White house might not be one so they'd need to double up 2 months this year.

It just doesnt make any sense to do one of those months right before White House. Gonna be hard enough to fill that card out to make it big, adding a second big event in May limits you. Makes more sense to make up those events in Aug and Oct. Oct has gotten two events the last few years.

So I'd expect May to only get 1 event.

Main Card

Conor vs Masvidal
Topuria vs Gaethje
Kayla vs Nunes
Yan vs Suga Sean
Hulk Hokit vs Derrick Lewis

Main Card

Conor vs Masvidal
Topuria vs Gaethje
Kayla vs Nunes
Yan vs Suga Sean
Hulk Hokit vs Derrick Lewis

Probably be something like that. I think Masvidal is a safe bet for "old throwback fart" guy. Not sure if McGregor will be on it because he just isn't reliable, but they'd certainly try.

Please don't take this as an attack on you personally but Fuck that shit. Sloppy Toppy has ZERO defenses at LW. He in fact has 2 whole fucking fights at LW in his career. He won a vacant belt on top of it all. His run at FW to get to the title is legit. He left after 1 defense FFS. He has done nothing to deserve to claim he is a 3 division champion.

Islam's resume as LW champ includes 3 defenses and then cherry picking a WW shot against a perfect style match up. BTW those 3 defenses include 1 FW TWICE and then a barely ranked in the top 15 LW. He has no defenses and is begging for Usman over any actual legit contender.

Both of them have no basis to fight for anything. They need to defend their titles.

No value to a UFC title if fans are going to accept whoever the UFC puts it on. Why do we need the "Title" put on guys like the WWE when they have the WWE?
