Dana White has confirmed who will be in attendance at the UFC Freedom 250 that is scheduled to take place on June 14, 2026, on the South Lawn of the White House.
The event’s name is a reference to the 250th anniversary of the United States Declaration of Independence, with it set to commemorate this birthday of the nation.
White has now confirmed that there will be a first-look preview at the setup for this UFC event to take place at the White House shown on the broadcast this weekend at UFC 237.
The company’s CEO made an appearance on Adin Ross’s livestream earlier in the week, and he discussed the preparations for the celebratory event this summer.

An important detail was the amount of preparation that will go into setting it up, with it understood that it will begin a month out compared to the usual few days it usually takes for a UFC event.
A key piece of information that White shared was that he and Donald Trump will have 200 tickets each to assign to whom they want; 84 from each will be chosen for a VIP event inside the White House prior to the fights.
The majority of tickets for the event will go to military personnel, which should make for an interesting crowd to watch these professional fighters square off.
Meanwhile, a noticeable comment from White was about what the fighters will be wearing, as they will have custom fight kits for all individuals on the card with it likely they will have something to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the United States of America gaining its independence from Britain and to celebrate the President of America’s birthday.
Trump is also expected to make an appearance at UFC 237 this weekend in Miami; that is according to White, who confirmed he will be in attendance this Saturday; however, this may be surprising to some due to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East with Iran.
