On Sunday, President Trump shared a new detail about the highly anticipated UFC event planned for the South Lawn of the White House: the fight will take place on June 14, which is also his 80th birthday.

Speaking in Norfolk, Virginia, at the 250th anniversary of the Navy, the president took pride in the significant happenings during his second term, such as America’s 250th birthday, the 2026 World Cup, and the 2028 Summer Olympics.

“And on June 14, next year, we’re set to host a massive UFC fight on the White House grounds,” he announced, not mentioning that this date is also a personal landmark for him.

The Hill has reached out to the White House to confirm.

UFC fighter Conor McGregor said Wednesday he would fight in the match-up.

Last month, the White House confirmed to The Hill that the event will feature fireworks and light displays, with fighter weigh-ins occurring at the Lincoln Memorial and fan activities throughout the National Mall.

The UFC’s octagon cage will be erected on the White House south lawn to host the match, which Trump first teased in July.

Dana White, the UFC chief executive and a longtime friend and donor of Trump, said in August that the fight was coming together.

“The White House fight is on,” White said in an Instagram live video on Aug. 28. “We got it done today.”

“This will be one of the greatest and most historic sports events ever, and having President Trump host it at the White House underscores his vision to honor America’s significant 250th anniversary,” Trump spokesperson Steven Cheung told the Wall Street Journal last month.
