Dana White has revealed a series of key details about the blockbuster UFC event at the White House.

A UFC show at the White House is believed to be in the works after Donald Trump teased an event at his Washington residence.

Speaking at a rally in Iowa, Trump said UFC CEO White will build the card which will feature a 'championship fight' as part of America's 250th anniversary celebrations next year.

The US president also disclosed that around '20,000-25,000' spectators will attend the White House.

But tickets won't be available for the White House card.

Well, that's according to White, who said tickets will all be complimentary.

Asked about ticket prices for the White House show, the 55-year-old replied: "I don't even think we'll sell tickets. They will all be comp tickets."

White also detailed the many 'challenges' he and his team face to stage the White House event, including background checks for everyone attending the UFC show.

He also claimed the US Secret Service won't want too many fans considering the location.

"Tons of challenges," he told Kyle Forgeard, who described UFC's plans as 'crazy', on the Full Send Podcast.

"First of all, I don't even know how many people can get in, not to mention the fact that the secret service isn't going to let a lot of people come to this... everybody's going to have background checks.

"Whoever actually gets to be there live... it will be such a unique, amazing experience in their lifetime to able to go to this fight.

"And, for us, when the fight is happening and we're filming, one whole side of the backdrop will be the White House and then the other side will be the Washington Monument."

Dana White reveals dream UFC main-event for White House event

White has a dream main-event in mind for the White House card.

He would love to match Jon Jones, who recently called time on his legendary MMA career, against Tom Aspinall, who was promoted to undisputed UFC heavyweight champion last month.

Despite retiring from MMA, Jones is back in the drug testing pool, paving the way for a sensational UFC comeback.

And the idea of competing at the White House excites him.

On X, the 37-year-old wrote: "It would be, for me it’s about the opportunity to represent America at the White House. I don’t care who I fight that night. I found my reason why, that’s what I needed, something that was more than money."
