UFC chief Dana White has revealed the first renderings of what the White House UFC event will look like, and the images have left fans stunned.

United States president Donald Trump has moved ahead with plans to host a UFC fight night on the South Lawn next year.

The president’s close friend and UFC CEO, Dana White, was spotted entering the White House earlier this month to propose a notable fight event in Washington, D.C., to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.

People involved in the planning tell the Wall Street Journal that the event will take place some time in June 2026.

Recently, the first AI-designed images of the proposed event have been released, showing a breathtaking scene alongside stunning lighting and vibrant color displays outside the historic building.

Initially shared with Fox News, the images depict the White House illuminated in red, white, and blue lights, with thousands of spectators gathered outside and the usual 3D UFC graphics modified for the broadcast.

A UFC octagon is situated in the middle of a makeshift arena, with the White House the picturesque backdrop.

Another image reveals the weigh-ins and press conferences, featuring a stage positioned outside the Lincoln Memorial with thousands more fans present to watch the events unfold.

More images show a stunning firework display and a giant cover over the rings and fans in case of rain.

Fans were left stunned on social media, with one writing: ‘This is going to be a spectacle for the ages.’

Another added: ‘These will be the highest priced tickets in history.’

A third wrote: ‘This will literally be bigger than any sports event ever, including the Super Bowl, World Cup and UFC Noche sphere. Can’t wait.’ 

Conor McGregor has also declared his intention to participate in the event, despite not fighting for more than four years.

The weigh-in and press conferences would take place outside the Lincoln Memorial, which is undergoing renovations for a new museum and visitors' centre

He told Fox: “The Mac is eager to return, no doubt. I’m involved in this. Michael Chandler and I have engaged in The Ultimate Fighter show, had some good exchanges, and he’s a solid, formidable opponent.”

White added: ‘We’ll build the greatest card of all time. Conor and I have been talking consistently, he wants this fight bad and when you get to a level that Conor is at you have to find things that motivate you, and the White House card has definitely motivated Conor McGregor.’

Trump’s daughter Ivanka joined by phone for an hour meeting this month with the president and White to discuss details, according to people familiar with the event.

Ivanka, who practices Brazilian jujitsu and is a fellow fan of UFC, will be involved in the planning.

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) plans to have a large presence in Washington, D.C. ahead of the event with multiple days of festivities on the National Mall.

This could include autograph sessions with UFC stars and punching-bag setups for visitors to test their fighting acumen.

The mixed martial arts throwdown is expected to pull out all the usual bells and whistles, including lasers, fireworks, the UFC’s octagon cage and thousands of spectators.

But instead of the usual enclosed arena, usually held in Las Vegas, Nevada, the fighters will be outside and flanked by the White House on one side and the Washington Monument on the other.

It’s also expected that jumbo screens will be erected on The Ellipse, a park just south of the White House, so more people can watch the historic event.

While details are still being worked out and can be changed before June rolls around, current plans would have weigh-ins and pre-fight press conferences take place at the Lincoln Memorial, which is currently being renovated to include a new museum and visitors’ centre.

‘This will be one of the greatest and most historic sports events in history, and President Trump hosting it at the White House is a testament to his vision to celebrate America’s monumental 250th anniversary,’ lauded Trump spokesman Steven Cheung.
