It is surprising when you think about Trump first publicly talked about the occasion throughout a speech on July 3 … and two weeks later, White’s almost able to journey to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
After all, the UFC places on dozens of huge occasions annually … however a combat on the White Home has by no means been tried. Safety, logistics … there is a ton of planning required.
One of the vital necessary features of the occasion for 45/47 is that followers be capable of attend … which Dana defined performs into the president’s philosophy on his dwelling.
“One of many many issues I really like about [President Trump], his complete philosophy is the White Home belongs to the American individuals, and the American individuals ought to be capable of take pleasure in this place.”
The UFC boss continued … “When [President Trump] walks you across the White Home, you have by no means seen somebody extra happy with a spot than he’s with the White Home. To try to clarify to individuals how a lot this man loves this nation — it isn’t explainable.”
Regardless of the occasion being virtually a full yr out, some MMA superstars have already begun jockeying for a spot on the cardboard … together with Conor McGregor and Jon Jones.
We requested Dana if he had tentatively penciled in any fighters for the cardboard … and whereas DW factors out the occasion is a while away, there will not be a scarcity of star energy!
For these hoping to see somebody get slapped and/or punched sooner, White’s obtained two massive occasions happening beginning Friday night time in Louisiana … PowerSlap 14, after which UFC 318, Dustin Poirier‘s last combat!
Throughout the Octagon from The Diamond will likely be one other legend, Max Holloway. This will likely be their trilogy combat … and it is happening in entrance of Dustin’s dwelling state followers.

We additionally spoke to Dana about his enterprise into boxing, his old flame … because the UFC president has teamed up with big-time Saudi promoter Turki Alalshikh, to deliver the world Canelo Alvarez vs. Terence Crawford. (happening Sept. 13 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas).
For years, the knock on boxing has been that prime boxers do not combat each other … and that is one thing Dana is actively working to repair.
