Overview
- After reports the card had shifted to June 26, Dana White said on Instagram that the event remains set for Sunday, June 14 on the South Lawn.
- Puck News reports production spending could reach as much as $60 million, far above the roughly $20 million spent on the UFC Sphere show, with no clarity on whether fighter pay is included.
- Plans call for an Octagon built on the South Lawn with temporary seating, and White says restoring the grass will cost about $700,000 to $1 million.
- Attendance is expected to be strictly capped with roughly a few thousand invited guests on site and around 1,000 seats reserved for military personnel, plus a large public viewing area on the National Mall estimated at tens of thousands; a full temporary stadium is reported to be infeasible.
- Broadcast distribution is expected on Paramount+ with possible CBS involvement, the lineup is targeted at six to seven fights, and ceremonial elements such as weigh-ins at the Lincoln Memorial have been reported though final details and bouts are not yet announced.
