Donald Trump unveils never-before-seen UFC belt for White House main event

The UFC White House event is only a month away, and all the final details are being put in place while there is a push to build excitement for the event as seen on Wednesday.

Four of the fighters set to take part in the event visited the capital of the United States to reveal an event-exclusive UFC belt alongside Donald Trump.

Lightweight champion Ilia Topuria and former two-division king Alex Pereira were joined by their respective opponents, Justin Gaethje and Ciryl Gane, in the Oval Office to show off the unique belt.

The UFC White House event is set to take place on June 14 to celebrate the 250th celebration of the United States' independence as a nation on July 4.

Featuring the American flag and highlighting the country’s celebration of independence, the special UFC title designed for the event was front and centre on Trump’s desk between the fighters.

Trump attempted to promote the event to the media and build excitement as he answered questions from the media during this meeting with four of the UFC fighters who will take part in the commemorative celebration of the United States’ independence.

The 47th President of the United States said: “I’m a big sports fan.

“There are no people tougher in sports than the people behind me. These are the toughest people. …

“June 14, we’re having a big fight. It’s never going to happen again; it’s never happened before. It’s all of the best fighters, the best four fighters standing behind me, all four champions, and it’s going to happen right in front of the White House. …

“This will be the greatest show on Earth.”
