Description
UFC CEO Dana White said a fight night at the White House on the Fourth of July next year is "absolutely going to happen."
He's scheduled to travel to Washington later this month to meet with President Donald Trump and his daughter, Ivanka, to discuss logistics.
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.
Trump is a longtime UFC enthusiast and close friend of White.
Their alliance has paid dividends for both parties.
White stumped for Trump at the Republican conventions, while men who soak up fight nights threw their support behind Trump in the election.
