Dana White surprised everyone with a simple two-word response during the UFC 326 media day, signaling that fans will not have to wait much longer to learn the full lineup for the historic Ultimate Fighting Championship fight card planned at the White House. UFC CEO confirmed that the event card is already finalized and revealed that the official announcement will be made on 'Saturday night', reported Bleacher Report.
White shared the update while discussing UFC 326, which takes place March 7 in Las Vegas. The card is headlined by Max Holloway defending his BMF title against Charles Oliveira. White confirmed on Thursday that he plans to reveal the White House fight lineup during UFC 326 on Saturday.
According to Filmogaz, White explained that the matchmaking process was kept very secret. He said the team used a whiteboard to write down possible fights during meetings and erased them after each session to prevent leaks. When asked if Conor McGregor would appear on the card, as reported by Filmogaz, White gave a brief response, saying, "We’ll see, brother."
The special event is scheduled for June 14, 2026. It is expected to feature a smaller fight card with about six or seven bouts. Despite the limited number of fights, the event could cost up to $60 million to organize.
Attendance will be exclusive, with around 3,000 to 4,000 invited guests sitting cageside and no public tickets available. Organizers are also planning a large viewing area at The Ellipse, where up to 85,000 fans could gather to watch the fights.
"My vision for this thing is we have this big arch, as you can see, with the lightning grid, because what I want is the White House in the back," White said, as quoted by Bleacher Report, about the renderings. "And then, when the fight goes around to the other side, you'll see the Washington Monument."
