President Trump said last month that he wanted to stage a UFC match on the White House grounds with upwards of 20,000 spectators to celebrate 250 years of American independence. "Think about that, the 250th birthday of the United States of America, the UFC will be on the White House south lawn live on CBS." The idea of cage fights at the White House would have seemed improbable when the Fertitta brothers purchased UFC for $2 million in 2001 and put White in charge of the fledging fight promotion. The UFC boss noted it was still too early to discuss a potential main event for the White House fight night. White said the deal might involve finding new homes for "The Ultimate Fighter," "Road To UFC" and "Dana White's Contender Series."
